Keep Your Eyes and Ears Open: Key Signs Your Elevator Needs Maintenance.

Updated: Jan 24




Elevators are essential to keeping your building running smoothly, but how do you know when it's time to call in the experts? At Elevator Repair Specialists, we believe proactive maintenance is key to preventing costly repairs and ensuring safety. Here are the signs you should watch and listen for to keep your elevator in top shape.

Visual and Audible Clues That Your Elevator Needs Attention

Be aware of these common signs that indicate maintenance is required:

  1. Unusual Noises: Grinding, squeaking, or banging noises during operation could mean worn-out components or alignment issues.

  2. Slow or Delayed Operation: If the elevator is taking longer than usual to reach floors or open and close doors, this could indicate motor or hydraulic system problems.

  3. Jerky or Uneven Movement: If the elevator doesn’t move smoothly between floors, it might be a sign of issues with the cables, motor, or balance systems.

  4. Unresponsive Buttons: Buttons that don’t light up or respond when pressed could point to electrical or control system issues.

  5. Changes in Energy Use: A sudden spike in energy consumption might indicate inefficiency in the system, such as a failing motor or outdated parts.

  6. Visible Wear and Tear: Fraying cables, misaligned doors, or worn-out flooring are physical signs that it’s time for a professional inspection.
