For Property Managers, Condo Corporations & Commercial Premises
A maintenance agreement with us is not a retainer. It costs nothing to open, it drops your rate to $110/hr from arrival with no trip charge, it puts round-the-clock callout behind your buildings, and it replaces reactive callouts with a schedule built from what your property actually has.
What Gets Scheduled
Built from what your building has and what has failed before — not from a template someone printed once.
Sump pump run-tested under load, float and check valve verified, backwater valve opened and cleaned, discharge line checked for ice. The one visit that decides whether March costs you a flooded basement.
Scheduled February–March, before the ground thaws and the spring rain arrives.Hydro-jetting of the stacks and branches that have failed before, camera run on the line with a history, root intrusion cleared while it is growing rather than after it blocks.
Set from what the camera found last time — not from a fixed calendar interval.Water heaters inspected, relief valves checked, sediment addressed. Exterior hose bibs shut down and drained, unheated areas and crawl spaces checked for the lines that burst first.
Scheduled October–November, before the first hard freeze.Shut-off valves exercised and mapped so the next emergency does not mean closing down the whole property. Common area fixtures, laundry rooms, janitor sinks and floor drains checked on the same pass.
Folded into the scheduled visits — no separate trip charge on an agreement.What The Agreement Changes
An emergency callout is not just a higher bill than a scheduled visit. It is a flooded unit, a tenant with a claim, a board asking why nobody saw it coming, and a repair done under pressure with whoever is available. The agreement is how that stops being the normal way things get fixed.
Round-the-clock response is the one thing we do not sell by the hour to whoever calls. At 3am it is only worth anything if the building is already known to us — the layout, the shut-offs, what failed last winter. That is why it comes with an agreement.
Start A Service AgreementWhat You Get In Writing
A maintenance programme that leaves no paper trail is indistinguishable from no programme at all.
What was checked, what was done, and what needs attention next — with photographs and, where a camera was used, the footage. Written to be forwarded to an owner or a board without translation.
Findings come back ranked: fix now, plan for this year, watch. That is the difference between a maintenance programme and a stack of invoices — you can put next year’s number in front of a board before it becomes an emergency.

Every visit recorded against the building and the unit, so the next attendance starts from what we already know rather than from the beginning.
Getting Started
Four steps, usually inside a week. Nothing is signed before you have seen the building walked.
Mechanical room, stacks, sump and backwater valve, water heaters, shut-offs, and the units with a history. No charge, and no obligation to sign anything afterwards.
What we suggest checking, when, and roughly how many hours each visit takes — so the annual cost is a number, not a mystery. Cut what you do not want.

The first scheduled visit sets the baseline: what is sound, what is aging, what needs doing now. Everything after that is measured against it.
Questions
There is no monthly retainer and no fee to open one. You pay for the work: $110/hr per technician from the moment we arrive, with no service-call or travel charge, plus fixed quotes on anything larger. The scheduled visits themselves are estimated in hours after we have walked the building, so you know the annual figure before you commit to it.
It is built from what your building has, not from a template: drain stacks and the lines that have failed before, sump pumps and backwater valves, water heaters, shut-off valves, exterior hose bibs before the freeze, and the fixtures in common areas. We propose the intervals after the walkthrough and you cut what you do not want.
You call the same number. Buildings on an agreement get round-the-clock callout — any hour, weekends and holidays — and priority dispatch when two jobs land at once. That is the main thing the agreement buys, and it is not available without one.
Yes. The agreement sets the rate and the response times; it does not lock you into a term with a penalty. If the service is not what we promised, the correct outcome is that you stop, not that you pay out a contract.
Yes — that is the usual case. One agreement, one rate, one point of contact, and invoices issued per building so each property carries its own cost. Adding or removing a property later is a note, not a new contract.
Yes. We stay deliberately small so the crew that walked your building is the crew that returns to it. Preventive maintenance only pays off if somebody remembers what the stack looked like last spring.
Every visit comes back with one: what was checked, what was done, photographs where they matter, and a list of what needs attention with a rough priority. It is written to be forwarded to an owner or a board without translation.
