URGENT SAFETY NOTICE

Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.

Signs That an Elevator Repair is Needed

Signs That an Elevator Repair is Needed

Here are signs that you’ll need to get a home elevator repair.

Many people use elevators every day. Usually, they’ll be found in business settings, but there are also elevators that people use within their homes. For home elevators, it’s vital that they stay in great shape because they help people access the different levels of their homes with ease. Unfortunately, however, elevators can run into problems, just like any other piece of equipment. What’s important is acknowledging when repairs are needed so you can get your elevator back into top form as quickly as possible. Here are signs that you’ll need to get a home elevator repair.

Your Elevator Constantly Breaks Down

Does your home elevator constantly break down? If it does, an elevator repair will be needed so that your elevator is safe to use again. Sometimes, if your elevator is particularly old, you might even consider replacing it with a new one. This is because older elevators are more likely to experience frequent breakdowns, and getting a new one can reduce the number of repairs you need down the road.

The Speed of Your Elevator Has Changed

Have you noticed that the speed of your elevator is different now? Sometimes, this change in speed is subtle, making it more difficult to detect right away. Other times, the speed change can be drastic and much more noticeable. In either case, you’ll want to get your elevator serviced because this can be a serious safety concern.

You Hear Odd Sounds

Modern elevators operate without making much sound. If you ever hear anything unusual, there are likely mechanical problems with your elevator. Getting an elevator repair will be needed in situations like this because it prevents these problems from getting worse over time.
