Babe’s Plumbing Expands Fire Protection Services in Sarasota-Bradenton

The acquisition of Access Fire Protection’s assets strengthens local service and supports the growing community’s safety needs.

Babe’s Plumbing, Inc. is expanding its fire protection capabilities through the acquisition of assets from Access Fire Protection, ensuring that customers throughout the Sarasota-Bradenton area continue to have access to dependable fire sprinkler service, inspections, and new construction support.

The transition brings key equipment, vehicles, customer contact channels, and other operational resources from Access Fire Protection into Babe’s growing fire protection division. More importantly, this creates a path forward for customers who previously relied on Access Fire Protection and may otherwise have been left searching for a new provider.

For Babe’s, the expansion is about more than adding resources. It is an opportunity to keep essential services accessible, preserve local relationships, and continue investing in the people who serve the Southwest Florida community.

“When a local service provider closes its doors, customers still need someone they can turn to, especially when it comes to fire protection and life-safety systems,” said Sarah Willis, Vice-President at Babe’s Plumbing. “Our goal is to make that transition as smooth as possible and make sure these customers continue to have a trusted local team available to help them.”

Babe’s plans to continue supporting the needs for fire sprinkler inspections, service, and new construction work while also giving customers access to a broader range of services, including plumbing, electrical, and fire alarm solutions. That expanded range of services gives homeowners, business owners, property managers, and contractors the ability to work with one local company across multiple critical building systems.

Customers who previously contacted Access Fire Protection will still have a way to reach a local provider for assistance, with its phone number transitioning to Babe’s Plumbing. Babe’s is also offering employment opportunities to all former Access Fire Protection staff and anticipates continuing operations from the North Sarasota location near the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.

By expanding its fire protection capabilities, Babe’s is positioning itself to support more properties across the region while continuing its broader investment in Southwest Florida.

“As our community continues to grow, the companies serving it have to grow with it,” said Sarah

Willis. “For us, that means continuing to invest in skilled people, expanding the services our

customers can rely on, and making sure local families and businesses have access to the help

they need.”
