What to Expect from a DePue Preventive Maintenance Agreement


What’s Included in a DePue PM Agreement?

Every agreement is tailored to your facility, but here’s what you can count on:

Scheduled Service Visits
  • Weekly, monthly, or quarterly, performed by certified DePue technicians (not third-party subcontractors).

Critical Equipment Inspections
  • Boilers, chillers, pumps, piping, air systems, and controls — nothing skipped.

Filter Changes & Consumables
  • Air filters, belts, and fluid checks done on time, before they fail.

Documentation & Reporting
  • Maintenance logs, inspection reports, compliance photos — reports written for plant managers, not file cabinets.

Emergency Repair Priority
  • When things go sideways, you jump to the front of the line.


Why Choose Preventive Maintenance Instead of Waiting for Breakdowns?

We’ve seen it firsthand: a food manufacturer ignored their cooling tower until it failed on a Friday night. The downtime cost them $75,000 in lost production — in just one weekend.

With a DePue PM Agreement, you get:

  • Scheduled inspections that prevent failures

  • Extended equipment life

  • Predictable uptime

  • A dedicated team that already knows your systems


How the Process Works

We keep it simple, effective, and honest:

  1. Site Walkthrough – We visit your facility, assess your systems, and document your critical equipment.

  2. Custom PM Scope – A scope built for your plant’s frequency, budget, and compliance needs.

  3. Agreement Signed – You approve the scope; we make it official.

  4. Scheduled Services Begin – Our technicians show up on time, log every visit, flag future concerns, and report directly to you.

  5. No fluff. No hand-offs. Just predictable results.

Need a change? You can scale the scope up or down any time.


What Makes DePue Different?

We’re not just a service provider. We’re your mechanical contractor with steel-toe boots in the field.

  • We self-perform all work — no middlemen.

  • We know construction — we installed many of the systems we now maintain.

  • We show up — onsite, in uniform, and on time.

  • We know your equipment — because we’ve likely set it in place.

Other companies hand you a binder and disappear. We hand you a checklist and come back next month.
