2/20/14 – The Chicago area is seeing rain today which is melting our large amount of snow that is on the ground.  Be conscience of the mechanical areas having leaks which may cause water to fall on the elevator equipment as well as your elevator pits that have sump pumps not collecting water.  If you begin hearing strange noises, drip drops or splashing, call your elevator company, there is a possibility that your sump pump is not working and take a peak in the elevator mechanical room to make sure you don't have a leak that is causing water to drip on the elevator equipment.  Go to www.colleyelevator.com for more information on Colley Elevator Company.
