A Single Solution for School Maintenance, Repair & Cleaning Services

Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of students, teachers, staff, and visitors go through your buildings every day. Dependable facility maintenance and janitorial services are a must to make sure your school stays clean, presentable, and safe.

Your educational institution should take pride in its appearance and cleanliness. Janitorial services not only give a school its scrubbed and shining appearance but also keep students and staff safe by cleaning spills, wiping away germs and bacteria, and removing potential safety hazards. 

Classroom, cafeterias, restrooms, libraries, and shared facilities are high-touch areas where pathogens can easily spread. Regular cleaning and constant disinfection are important to help minimize the transmission of infectious diseases, reduce student and staff absenteeism, and promote better public health. They also help in creating a distraction-free learning environment and a positive impression on parents, visitors, and alumni. 

Our services go beyond custodial work. Our facility services include not only basic repairs but also maintenance of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, ensuring that each system operates smoothly. We can identify HVAC leaks and pinpoint faulty lighting systems, repairs to which can reduce a school's carbon footprint and avoid future costlier repairs. Facility maintenance services also help maximize energy efficiency and hold down consumption and cost.

Our facility maintenance and janitorial services ensure your school is a safe and congenial atmosphere in which to work and learn.

US&S can support schools and other educational organizations throughout the Southeast with quality maintenance and cleaning services.

Helping to Keep Your School Safe

Educational facilities require service teams that understand the importance of safety, awareness, and accountability. US&S trains employees assigned to school and campus environments using third-party software, internal documentation, and site-specific procedures.

Our teams are trained to recognize potential hazards, follow appropriate cleaning and maintenance protocols, and work carefully around students, staff, visitors, and active learning environments. Site-specific training also helps employees understand the buildings and grounds they are supporting.

Reporting Made Easy

Our reporting is instantaneous; you'll receive transparency and visibility when you partner with us for your facility maintenance and janitorial services. If you spot a problem, we'll correct it so that you can continue running your school free of distractions.

Safety is part of our inspection process. We'll immediately notify you of safety issues noted during inspections, even if they fall outside the scope of our contract.

We can also help streamline your school’s operations by placing all your facility services under one contract. Collaboration becomes easier since you have one point of contact, fewer contracts to manage, and fewer administrative and accounting concerns.
