Building Maintenance: Types & Importance

1. Preventative maintenance

Routine and planned maintenance activities are designed to prevent breakdowns and extend the life of equipment and systems.

Our preventive maintenance includes all types of intervention, including changing parts, making adjustments, changing oil, water or other components, cleaning, etc.

It is done regularly, usually in the form of a schedule, to anticipate any problems or equipment failures and keep it running effectively and efficiently, rather than reacting to problems that arise

Preventative maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, reducing downtime and repair costs.

This includes tasks such as HVAC system inspection, plumbing checks, and regular elevator maintenance. By performing these actions regularly, we ensure that all systems operate efficiently and are less likely to experience unexpected outages.

5. Emergency Maintenance

Unplanned maintenance is required in response to urgent, unexpected issues.

Critical for the safety and security of the building and its occupants.

In cases of sudden emergencies like a burst pipe or electrical outage, our team is on call 24/7 to provide immediate assistance. Quick response times are vital to mitigate damage and restore normal operations as swiftly as possible.

2. Corrective maintenance

Reactive maintenance performed to correct issues that have already occurred.

Ensures rapid resolution of issues, minimizing disruption and preventing further damage.

Our team quickly resolves any reported issues, from electrical malfunctions to plumbing leaks. Prompt action is essential to maintain a safe and functional environment for occupants and to prevent small problems from turning into larger, more costly repairs.

4. Routine maintenance

Daily activities necessary for the proper functioning of a building.

Ensures all systems and components operate as they should on a daily basis.

This includes tasks such as cleaning, minor repairs and general maintenance. Regular checks and minor corrections are essential to maintaining a comfortable and safe environment, preventing small problems from becoming major problems.

6. Capital Repairs and Replacements

Major maintenance activities involve significant repairs or replacement of building systems.

Ensures the long-term functionality and safety of the building.

Over time, major systems like roofing, HVAC, and plumbing may require extensive repairs or complete replacement. We plan and execute these projects to maintain the structural integrity and functionality of your building, ensuring it remains safe and efficient for years to come.

3. Predictive maintenance

Advanced maintenance strategy that uses data and analytics to predict and prevent equipment failure.

Improves efficiency by resolving potential issues before they cause downtime or damage.

We use sophisticated monitoring tools to track the performance of critical building systems. By analyzing this data, we can predict when a system is likely to fail and take preventative measures to maintain or replace components, thereby avoiding unexpected failures and extending the life of equipment.

7. Seasonal maintenance

Maintenance activities adapted to changing seasons and weather conditions.

Prepares the building for weather-related challenges, ensuring continued operation and safety.

This includes winterizing plumbing systems, checking and repairing roofs before the rainy season, and maintaining HVAC systems before peak usage periods. Seasonal maintenance is essential to adapt to environmental changes and protect the building from weather-related wear and tear.
