What We Check, How We Check It, and What It Means For Your Elevator
We begin by confirming the appointment time and securing access to all relevant areas. If available, we review maintenance logs, past inspection reports, and any unresolved violations. This helps us focus the inspection on historical issues and known risk factors.
We inspect the machine room for cleanliness, secure access, ventilation, and electrical safety. Fire recall systems and basic emergeny protocols are verified to ensure a safe starting point for the rest of the evaluation.
We assess the core components - motors, relays, controllers, wiring, and hydraulic or traction systems. This includes checking for excessive wear, electrical hazards, and mechanical failures that may impact reliability or efficiency.
Inside the elevator cab, we evaluate lighting, ventilation, mirrors, handrails, and ADA compliance. We then examine the hoistawy, rails, pit, and top of the cab(when accessible) to identify any structural damage, debris, or oil contamination.
Door sensors, reopening devices, and interlocks are tested for timing, responsiveness, and safe operation. Since door malfunctions are a common safety issue, we ensure that all door systems function smoothly and securely.
We take a ride in the elevator to observe leveling, speedd, vibration, and noise. Emergency systems such as the stop button, alarm bel, and communication phone or intercom are tested to confirm they meet code and safety requirements.
We verify the elevator's condition against local and national safety codes. We also check that inspecction certificates are current and that any previous violations have been addressed or resolved.
You'll receive a clear, written inspection report within 24-48 hours. It incudes detailed findings, code references, and photos where applicable. We also provide actionable Recommendations and cost estimates for any necessary repairs of re-inspectons.
