What we do

Technical expertise for the full life of your equipment.

From required inspections to long-range decisions, ETS helps owners and managers understand their equipment and the work ahead.

01 / INSPECTIONS

Code inspections

Annual inspections, periodic test witnessing, and re-inspections for elevators, escalators, and other regulated conveyances. We prepare the inspection report for the applicable authority.

02 / EVALUATION

Equipment assessments

Independent reviews of equipment condition and performance, including maintenance audits and due diligence for property decisions.

03 / CONSULTING

Owner representation

Technical guidance for maintenance agreements, modernization planning, specifications, and contractor proposals.

For building owners and managers

Stay ahead of your operating certificate.

For most owners, the annual inspection is a step toward renewing the authority’s permission to operate. ETS coordinates the inspection with your elevator maintenance company, documents the results, and submits the inspection paperwork to the City of Houston or the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), as applicable.

We keep you informed about any reported deficiencies and the paperwork needed to move the process forward. Owners remain responsible for corrections and required fees. The City or TDLR reviews the submission and issues the operating permit or certificate of compliance when its requirements are met.
