Understanding the two types of service projects: Preventative maintenance vs. repair/replacement
When it comes to maintaining and servicing your facility’s equipment, there are two primary approaches- annual preventative maintenance contracts and repair or replacement projects. Both are crucial for ensuring your equipment’s safety, functionality, and longevity, whether in a gymnasium, auditorium, or classroom. Understanding these service types can help you make informed decisions about your facility’s maintenance needs.
Annual Preventative Maintenance Contracts
Preventative maintenance is a proactive approach to keeping your equipment in optimal condition. These contracts are designed to schedule regular inspections and maintenance tasks, preventing minor issues from turning into costly emergency repairs. Regular maintenance ensures your equipment’s safety and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Key Benefits of Preventative Maintenance:
- Safety: Regular checks and maintenance keep your equipment safe for everyday use, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Cost Savings: Scheduled maintenance can prevent unscheduled, expensive emergency repairs by addressing issues before they become critical.
- Efficiency: Working with fewer companies who know your equipment well streamlines the maintenance process and reduces downtime.
- Brand Versatility: Our service extends beyond our products; we also maintain equipment from other brands, offering comprehensive solutions.
Repair/Replacement Projects
Despite regular maintenance, equipment will inevitably face wear and tear over time. When this happens, repair or replacement projects become necessary. Our team specializes in addressing a wide range of repair needs across various types of equipment, ensuring that your facility remains safe and operational.
1. Gymnasium Equipment
- Divider Curtains: Issues like a bad motor belt, broken curtain cable, or a torn curtain can affect the functionality of divider curtains.
- Basketball Hoops: Common issues include broken rims, damaged pads, bent or broken knee braces, and leaking motors.
- Overhead Volleyball Systems: These systems may require attention due to wear and tear or mechanical failures.
2. Bleachers
- Common Issues: Bleachers can be temperamental, stuck in place, or pose safety risks if not properly maintained. We also address specific problems such as damaged rows, missing grip tape, bad friction rollers, and leaking gear boxes.
- Safety Records: Keeping a record of regular maintenance is essential for ensuring that your bleachers are safe and functional.
3. Auditorium Seating
- Complex Mechanisms: Auditorium seating involves many moving parts that require regular maintenance to function correctly.
4. Scoreboards
- Service and Repair: We offer service and repair options to keep your scoreboards accurate and functional.
5. Wood Floor Screening and Recoats
- Little-Known Services: Many facilities may not know that we offer screening and recoating services for wood floors, which can be scheduled to fit your timeline.
6. Corridor or Athletic Lockers
- Maintenance Challenges: Lockers often face maintenance issues like broken latches and dislodged plastic pieces. In some cases, especially during the summer, replacing all lockers at once might be more efficient.
7. Service Solutions Outside Athletic Solutions
- Fume Hood Repair and Testing: Regular testing and repair of fume hoods ensure they meet safety standards and function correctly.
- Movable Walls: While we don’t sell movable walls, we do service them in gyms and classrooms in certain areas across the United States. These walls often require panel replacements to maintain functionality, which we have the capability to fix.
