BroussElevators
As a building owner or manager in South Florida, your elevator is one of your most critical assets. Regular maintenance keeps it running smoothly, but sometimes problems develop between service visits. Here are five warning signs that mean you should call Brouss Elevators right away.
Grinding, squeaking, or banging sounds during operation often indicate worn bearings, misaligned doors, or motor issues. These sounds typically get worse over time and can lead to complete failure if ignored.
If passengers notice the elevator stopping abruptly or moving in a jerky manner, this could signal problems with the leveling system, worn sheaves, or hydraulic issues. A smooth ride is essential for safety and comfort.
Doors that take longer than usual to open or close, or that don't align properly with the floor, create safety hazards and can indicate electrical or mechanical problems.
If your elevator has broken down more than twice in the past year, it's time for a comprehensive inspection. Repeated failures often indicate underlying issues that require modernization rather than simple repairs.
Elevators typically last 20-25 years. If yours is approaching this age, proactive modernization can prevent costly emergencies and improve energy efficiency.
If you've noticed any of these warning signs, don't wait for a complete breakdown. Contact Brouss Elevators at 786.308.9128 for a free inspection. Our certified technicians will identify any issues and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
