Types of Elevator Inspections We Offer

Comprehensive System Inspections

We take elevator inspections seriously, digging into every detail—from the control systems and hoistways to safety brakes and how the cab functions. No two systems are the same, so we tailor our inspections to fit your elevator’s specific setup and usage. Whether it’s a small residential unit or a commercial high-rise, our job is to make sure everything runs safely, efficiently, and without disruption.




Annual and Periodic Inspections

Texas requires annual elevator inspections, but certain buildings—especially those with older equipment or heavy usage—benefit from more frequent checks. Our team will help you schedule regular inspections that fit your needs, keeping your elevators in top condition year-round. We handle everything with minimal disruption, ensuring your equipment stays compliant, efficient, and safe for tenants, employees, or visitors who rely on your system every day.

Code Compliance Audits

Our code compliance audits help you avoid costly fines and keep your elevators operating within legal standards. We’re experts in both Texas regulations and national elevator codes, including ADA accessibility guidelines. During these audits, we carefully review your elevator system to ensure everything—from safety features to access requirements—is up to code. If we find gaps, we’ll show you exactly how to fix them.


Maintenance Insights and Recommendations

When we inspect your elevator, we don’t just walk away after the checklist is complete. If we find signs of wear or potential issues, we give you clear, actionable maintenance recommendations. These insights help you plan ahead, avoid emergency repairs, and keep your elevator running safely and reliably. Think of it as preventative care—protecting your equipment, your budget, and everyone who rides in your building.



The Elevator Inspection Process

When you schedule an inspection with us, here’s what to expect:


On-Site Evaluation

When you schedule an inspection, our certified elevator inspector arrives on-site for a complete walkthrough of your system. We assess the environment, observe equipment performance, and gather initial insights into how your elevator operates. This first step helps us identify any obvious issues and sets the foundation for a detailed inspection.


Component Testing

Once the evaluation is done, we move into a comprehensive check of all essential systems—emergency protocols, cab performance, motor output, electrical wiring, and mechanical parts. We pay close attention to signs of wear, strange noises, or slow responses. It’s all designed to keep your elevator operating safely, smoothly, and without costly downtime.


Safety Check

We put safety at the center of every inspection. Our team carefully evaluates vital systems—interlocks, brakes, alarms, lighting, and backup power—to ensure they meet safety standards and function flawlessly in all situations. Everything is tested for dependability and code compliance, so you can be confident your elevator is safe for everyone who steps inside.


Fire & Emergency Systems

Elevators must respond appropriately during emergencies. We test your system’s reaction to fire alarms, power outages, and emergency recall protocols. Our team verifies that all fire service operations, communication systems, and backup power sources activate exactly as they should. By testing performance under stress, we help ensure your elevator meets compliance standards and keeps passengers safe when it matters most.


Final Report

After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear, detailed report that breaks everything down for you. It covers the overall condition of your elevator, any issues we discovered, and our recommendations for next steps—whether it’s routine maintenance or necessary repairs. We keep the language straightforward, so even non-technical readers can understand it. And if you need help moving forward, from repairs to paperwork, we’ve got you covered every step of the way.

Why Regular Inspections Matter

Regular inspections offer more than just peace of mind. Here’s what they help you achieve:

Prevent Accidents

Regular elevator inspections play a key role in preventing accidents before they happen. By spotting worn parts, faulty safety features, or mechanical issues early on, we help reduce the risk of breakdowns or injuries. Our inspections are built around proactive safety—catching problems while they’re still manageable. The result? A safer building environment and the peace of mind that your elevators are running just as they should, day in and day out.


Stay Compliant

Staying compliant with safety regulations isn’t just a box to check—it’s a critical part of protecting your building, your tenants, and your reputation. Regular elevator inspections help you meet all TDLR and ADA requirements, so you avoid fines, legal headaches, or unexpected shutdowns. We keep up with every code change, so you don’t have to. With us, you stay ahead of the curve—and in full compliance—all year long.

Minimize Downtime

Unexpected elevator breakdowns can throw off your entire building’s flow—especially in busy environments. That’s why routine inspections matter. They catch small problems early, before they escalate into costly shutdowns or emergency repairs. Staying ahead of wear and tear helps your elevators run smoothly and keeps everyone moving without delays. It’s a smart, proactive way to keep tenants satisfied, reduce stress, and maintain a safe, dependable operation day in and day out.


Protect Your Budget

Emergency elevator repairs can be costly and disruptive. Regular inspections help you avoid these financial hits by identifying and addressing small issues before they turn into expensive problems. A minor part replacement today could save you from a major system failure tomorrow. By investing in inspections now, you're making a cost-effective choice that keeps your equipment reliable—and your budget intact—over the long haul.
