Elevator Maintenance / Service

Elevators are one of the most important technological inventions in human history. Without them, we wouldn’t have the towering skyscrapers and high rises that are located all over Seattle. Elevators are the workhorses of multi story buildings and because they are easy to use and bring immediate convenience to our daily lives, we don’t really pay attention to them until something goes wrong. Imagine the inconvenience you’d have to face if the elevator at home or your place of work stopped working. How many flights of stairs would you have to trek up and down in the absence of a working elevator? Because we rely on them so much, it is important to make sure that elevators are properly maintained and serviced. 

Commercial elevators in Washington state are required to have a maintenance control plan (MCP). Maintenance control plans are created to ensure that each elevator is regularly and correctly maintained throughout its lifespan. It is similar to car maintenance in that there are certain milestones and checkpoints that it is recommended for an elevator to be serviced. These checkpoints are put in place to make sure that the elevator is safe to use. Without the MCP, it would be hard to put your trust in an elevator and rely on it to provide worry free transportation. Olympic Elevator specializes in the maintenance and repair of all types of elevators, whether they are residential or commercial in the Seattle area. Our staff of highly trained and experienced technicians are the experts to trust when it comes to making sure that the tasks and category one annual testing included in the MCP are properly completed as required by code.

Not only does regular maintenance keep elevators safe to use, but it also can help protect against costly repairs. Regularly scheduled maintenance and services means that experienced and trained technicians will constantly have eyes on the elevator and can make the necessary repairs or needed adjustments before the elevator breaks down. Preventative maintenance and repairs might be expensive, but it’ll be less expensive than having to make an emergency repair and expediting shipping for out of stock parts. 

Elevators are complex machines, and there are so many different and intricate parts that go into running a functioning elevator. Preventative and regularly scheduled maintenance provided by certified elevator technicians is the only way to keep elevators running smoothly.

Why is a good preventive maintenance plan important?

• It extends the life of the elevator equipment and protects the major investment the building has made in this equipment.
• Proper preventive maintenance helps eliminate costly service callbacks.
• Our proactive approach directs attention to potential problem areas before more extensive and expensive repairs become necessary.
