“I love working with this company. I have 4 Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and need to have the annual inspections done on all my fire extinguishers. Breakwater can come and service them on site, or I have the option to bring them to their shop and wait while being re-certified.” -Gregg

“Absolutely fantastic customer service. Took care of my fire extinguisher immediately after I called their office. Never have to follow up, totally trust them. Great company to work with.” -Andrea
