Well, we are a couple of weeks into spring and in both our personal and professional lives, we look forward to spring cleaning. Maybe not look forward to it, but it is inevitable that cob webs need to be swept away, lawns need to be fertilized, and windows need to be cleaned.
Most of our clients are on an annual roof anchor inspection program, where we proactively schedule the inspection so there is no delay in getting their windows cleaned.
However, we do get the occasional emergency call for an anchor inspection because tenants of residential or commercial buildings are continually asking, “When are we getting the windows washed?”
Thankfully, we have a team of inspection professionals across North America who can be at your facility often, within days of receiving such a call.
While we do our best to spread these annual inspections throughout the year, spring is our busiest season.
Our sales team, Beverly Bean and newly hired Brian Barks, can provide you with a proposal to have your roof anchors, roof davits, monorail, or fall protection systems inspected promptly. With our electronic 
report writing system and customer portal, you can have the system approved for use and access your reports and roof anchor drawings with minimal effort on your part.
If you are not part of the growing number of clients who are enjoying the benefit of the Customer Portal, please contact us to see how you can gain access to all of your roof anchor inspection documents and rigging drawings. You can access this portal from any device and download and share with your window cleaning contractors or with any compliance officials who may visit your site to check your documentation.
Everything our team at Pro-Bel has developed is available to all our clients, ensuring you have easy access to all your inspection documents at all times.
The two most important documents your professional window cleaner will want to see are the inspection report and the rigging drawings, which show roof anchor locations, details, and any notes on restricted areas and rigging diagrams.
If you do not have access to your up-to-date inspection report or rigging drawings, 
please contact Pro-Bel to provide them to you. If you do not have rigging drawings, our technicians can perform an initial inspection to identify existing roof anchors or roof davits, complete a take-off, provide rigging advice, and ultimately approve the equipment for use.
As we look forward to longer, warmer days, we are also reminded of the “chores” that must be done. Pro-Bel can help you check at least one item off your long list of to-dos. This will ensure that you get your windows washed in a timely fashion, and when your tenants look out their home or office windows, they do so with a smile.
To our existing clients, thank you for the opportunity to serve you. To new clients, we look forward to working with you.
