Regardless of the size or type of a commercial property in your area, various kinds of maintenance must be performed, including general upkeep, emergency repairs, and special inspections (such as may be directed by an insurance company). But of particular importance for preserving buildings, equipment, and the grounds is preventive (or preventative) maintenance.

All commercial buildings, require some form of maintenance to allow for their continuous use and safe operating conditions. Preventive maintenance, much like Professional House Inspection and Pre-Purchase Home Inspection services, is a form of proactive maintenance that can prolong service life expectancies and prevent equipment failure when implemented appropriately. PM strategies also promote a reduction in overall maintenance costs in Woodland Hills and throughout Southern California, whereas reactive maintenance is typically associated with unplanned downtime and high expenditures for repair or replacement.

Most commercial facilities have more in common than not, including their common critical assets, such as plumbing, electrical, and mechanical equipment. However, certain building types in your area have unique maintenance considerations. Some PM programs employ a team of full- or part-time personnel that takes care of a property. Other programs, similar to Inspector Sammy, call for hiring a commercial property inspector to address the inspection portion of the maintenance program.
