In this blog, we will explore the high cost of neglect and how poor building maintenance can hurt your business.
Scenario 1: The Leaky Roof
A could’ve been client, let’s call them AMAPHARA Corporation, had been neglecting the maintenance of their roof for years. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a little secret… Neglecting your building’s maintenance is like skipping a shower for a week, it’s bound to get ugly and uncomfortable real quick! But don’t just take our word for it, let us walk you through some of the horrifying scenarios that our COULD’VE BEEN clients have faced due to their negligence.
AMAPHARA Corporation, thought they were saving some bucks by neglecting the maintenance of their roof. But what did they get in return? Wait for it. . . an unwanted indoor swimming pool, minus the fun and excitement! One rainy day, the roof started leaking like Niagara Falls, causing extensive damage to the building’s interior. The walls, floors, and furniture all suffered from the downpour, and the company had to close its doors for repairs. Not only did they have to spend a fortune on repairs, but they also lost revenue during the closure. Talk about a double whammy!
Scenario 2: The Broken Elevator
Next up, we’ve got ‘The Save Every Dime’ Corporation, who thought that their elevator didn’t need any maintenance. Boy, were they wrong! The elevator decided to take a break one day, leaving people stuck on different floors like they were in a high-rise prison. What an unfortunate turn out of events! Emergency repairs cost a fortune, and the loss of productivity was enough to make anyone feel like they were taking the stairs up to the Empire State Building.
Scenario 3: The Pest Infestation
Last but not least, let’s talk about ‘My Money’ Corporation, who thought they could save a few bucks by skipping out on pest control. Well, that decision came back to bite them, literally! A pest infestation broke out, causing damage to the building and making employees sick.
The company had to shut down for a few days, and let’s just say, the productivity levels were as low as the infestation was high.
In conclusion, if you want to avoid these costly disasters, invest in proper building maintenance. Otherwise, your business may just end up like a game of Jenga, except you don’t get to yell “Jenga!” when it all comes crashing down.
