Preventative vs Reactive Maintenance
Typically, most commercial properties can place their maintenance needs into two separate categories: Preventative and Reactive. Preventative maintenance focuses on mitigating and even avoiding potential repairs on your systems through predictive assessments. While also keeping the systems productivity high and avoiding unnecessary depreciation over time. Reactive maintenance focuses on addressing issues as they arise or when a total failure occurs. That can leave you scrambling to find quality technicians to bring your systems back online in a timely fashion. Even leading to lost revenues or further damage to existing systems. Majestic is here to help you navigate these decisions and find a solution that is best for your specific needs.
