When the controller fails, the bill is usually yours. It doesn't have to be.
EleSure closes the gap between your service contract, your equipment breakdown insurance, and your property policy — the seam where the most expensive elevator repairs quietly fall.
Keeps the elevator running — but basic plans exclude major components, damage from misuse or water, obsolete parts, and code-mandated upgrades.
Helps with sudden failures — but carries deductibles and limits, and won't pay for wear-out, obsolescence, or required modernization.
Covers fire, storm and outside perils — but excludes mechanical and electrical failure of the elevator itself, by design.
Water is the most common trigger for elevator equipment claims — and the easiest to exploit. A damp pit or one wet component becomes the excuse to condemn controllers, motors and fixtures the water never touched, turning a contained repair into a full modernization. Most owners have no independent elevator expert in the room to push back. EleSure is that expert — with no financial stake in doing the work, only in getting the scope right.
Water share of vertical-transport claims per forensic industry data (Envista Forensics); modernization and repair figures are approximate industry ranges. Figures are illustrative and vary by building, equipment and location.
Before you buy anything, we show you exactly where you're exposed — we read your maintenance contract, breakdown endorsement and property policy side-by-side and map what each one leaves uncovered on your specific equipment.
Your building, elevators and current service provider — plus copies of your elevator service/maintenance contract and your relevant insurance policies (property policy and any equipment-breakdown endorsement), if you have them handy.
A clear, plain-English report of what is and isn't covered across all three systems, on your elevators.
Keep the report with no obligation, or add EleSure to close the gaps we find.
