Whether you’re closing on a property or performing routine maintenance, new technology can help you assess a property’s condition and address any issues in a timely fashion.
There are a range of new technology solutions available to make the maintenance process as stress-free as possible. These digital tools can help protect your finances, manage your time more efficiently, and help guarantee your business is secure.
Get started by considering these three technology solutions to help maintain buildings.
Wireless home-monitoring system
Sensors placed in strategic locations throughout a property can work to inform a property owner of environmental issues, such as boiler leaks or extreme temperature changes. Systems will typically alert the owner to a problem by push notifications sent via text or e-mail.
Infrared scanning
Infrared scans, which pinpoint temperature differences, can be useful in identifying problems like leaks in mechanical systems or poor insulation in a building. While they do have certain limitations, they’re another useful measure to enhance the safety of a property, and can help prevent fire hazards.
Termite inspection technology
There’s a new high-tech method of uncovering termites in a building: acoustic technologies can now detect the specific location of termite activity. With the simple insertion of an acoustic probe into a wall, you can listen for sounds of termites eating away and instantly receive confirmation of a possible infestation in a building.
Relying solely on a visual and physical inspection of a building allows plenty of room for human error. But with advanced technology solutions driven by innovation, anyone can feel more confident a property meets your needs and is in a high quality—and healthy—living condition. Make it your business to experiment with technology to save yourself time and money.
