When managing and maintaining vacant buildings, many landlords assume that facilities maintenance can be put on hold. In reality, the risks often increase in periods of non-occupation. From insurance complications to undetected faults and failures, unmaintained buildings are vulnerable to costly consequences. Voltix Services helps property owners and managing agents reduce these risks with professional facilities maintenance designed specifically for vacant buildings and properties.
Insurance for vacant buildings often comes with strict terms and limited coverage. Regular facilities maintenance helps demonstrate responsible ownership and proactive risk management – key factors insurers consider when assessing a property. With Voltix, your records, inspections and safety systems are professionally managed, helping you avoid costly exclusions and maintain peace of mind.
Based on best practice and industry guidelines, several key actions help reduce risk and maintain the integrity of unoccupied sites:

- Flush and temperature-test water systems to prevent bacterial growth
- Keep comprehensive digital records of inspections and servicing for insurance purposes
