Preventative maintenance of a commercial or industrial property is critical in minimizing the cost, time and effort involved with property maintenance projects that will inevitably arise. The summer season provides an excellent time to implement several routine exterior maintenance tasks that take advantage of the often warm, sunny weather.
Summer is an excellent time to inspect the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, the electrical systems and water pipes. Without the burden of dealing with snow, ice, or freezing temperatures, there is much easier access to the mechanical systems. Additionally, if there are any repairs needed inclement weather will not be as big of a factor in the timeline.
It is recommended to inspect the roof of a commercial property twice a year. The inspection during the summer months should look for signs of wear and tear. A few things to look out for:
You’ll have the opportunity in the summer to complete a thorough inspection for all the items listed above and then also have weather conducive to any repairs that may be needed for your commercial property.
Storms throughout the winter and spring can leave all kinds of debris in gutters and spouts, which left unnoticed will could cause damage from wear and clogging. Severe weather with heavy rain can be experienced throughout the summer season, so it’s important to keep gutters and spouts as clear as possible for your storm drainage system.
Regularly inspecting all exteriors for signs of wear and tear is a recurring recommendation, but specifically checking the exterior paint of your commercial property and having any necessary painting completed during the summer months allow you to take advantage of the often warm and sunny weather.
Outdoor common areas and walkways should be cleaned frequently, and the summer season is no exception. Power washing, removing any debris, and repairing any damage as needed will ensure your tenants, customers and employees can utilize your property’s outdoor space safely and happily.
