Building maintenance encompasses all tasks that restore and maintain the functionality of your property. Keeping the interior and exterior of a building in the best condition possible can extend its life. It can also improve employee morale and impress new clients and customers.
Skyscraper maintenance still involves the same care other residential and commercial properties require. However, more elements need maintenance than you might expect. This checklist will help you keep track of everything a high-rise building needs to stay in pristine condition.
Various parts of a high-rise building need constant maintenance to avoid costly repairs and damage. The following are parts of any high-rise building that need to be a part of a maintenance checklist.
Creating a roof assessment management schedule and program effectively keeps your roof in the best condition possible. It helps you prevent damage and combat premature aging. Water infiltration is a major problem when a roofing system is not kept in good condition. This can cause considerable damage to the building's interior. To avoid this, focus on the following preventive measures:
Inspecting and assessing HVAC components can save a lot of money on avoidable repairs. The best HVAC maintenance plans include:
Plumbing and bathrooms benefit greatly from the right preventive maintenance and measures. Managers can ensure their plumbing is working properly by:
Lighting is an essential part of any high-rise building maintenance plan. There are a lot of lighting accessories and fixtures used in high-rise buildings, but ensuring they are properly maintained is an effective way of saving on energy costs and optimizing the quality of your building's lighting.
Be sure to inspect lighting fixtures regularly. Check for falling or missing screws, damaged cables and malfunctioning hardware. Accessories like luminaries with control gears and transformers need frequent inspections, as well. Make sure all bulbs are stored and disposed of correctly. Ensure all lens surfaces are clean and clear.
Ensure windows are washed, which is crucial to maintaining a building's exterior appearance. Bathrooms need to be properly cleaned and constantly in pristine condition. Empty trash cans and properly dispose of garbage.
Every three to five years, a high-quality contractor should inspect all electrical systems to ensure they are optimized, safe and functioning properly. Clean the surfaces of your parking garages twice a year and replace them every 10 years. Power washing and filling in cracks is an important part of maintaining parking garages.
Corrective maintenance is done when something is broken or needs repairing in emergency and non-emergency situations. This type of maintenance is employed when it is too late for preventive measures and maintenance.
There are many layers to a roof. The first layer of a roof's weatherproofing is known as the membrane and can be torn or split. Any damage to the membrane must be properly and effectively repaired as soon as possible. This is to prevent leaks and keep the building stable. Depending on the damage's age or extent, membranes may need to be replaced entirely.
To maintain a proper air temperature in the building, air conditioning units will need to be repaired or replaced when they stop working. Water pumps and control switches that cease to function or short out must be replaced to keep the HVAC systems in working order.
A broken pipe and toilet fixtures need to be replaced immediately. This is to prevent flooding and water damage. It is also to ensure your building has functioning plumbing — mold and leaks cause extensive damage to the interior of a building. Ensuring pipes are properly repaired or replaced is the most efficient way to avoid this.
Bulbs that have burned out and faulty fixtures need replacing. Light is a comfort system that greatly enhances the quality of space — this is true for both residential and commercial high-rise buildings. Sometimes, scheduling routine lightbulb replacements is an effective way of performing corrective lighting maintenance. This is best employed in frequently used areas, like hallways and conference rooms.
Faulty electrical systems can be fire hazards if not seen to quickly. Repairing severe or worsening cracks in concrete and walls is a recommended corrective measure to do regularly.
