Elevation Security: Student Housing Protected


October 15, 2021

Everyone is aware police presence significantly reduces the threat of any type of violence or criminal activity being conducted. In the event of advance notice for such an occurrence, often the protection visibility is increased in an attempt to deter individuals hoping to act on such bad instincts. Much of the time this practice is effective, however, this amount of police response cannot be on call every hour of every day in order to protect people at all times. In reality, crime occurs everywhere but taking measures to protect certain areas may be possible with assistance from other entities. 

What students should consider about campus safety is constantly changing but their right to a safe learning and living environment should be granted. Regardless of the institution’s size, student housing should be protected for a variety of different reasons. Each of these protective responses can help ensure that the student population feels safe and protected at all times while on campus.

Access

Having on-site security helps patrol access to either the campus itself or student housing. Depending on the number of units dispatched and their predetermined roles, it could be that parking lots, buildings, perimeters, etc. are all capable of being monitored at any given time. This ability to control access to areas is key in helping quickly identify unwanted guests or those individuals who may be hoping to cause problems.

Education

Individuals who are tasked with patrolling student housing can also benefit the population they serve by offering varying types of educational experiences. From self-defense classes to knowledge about the area and expectations on who to contact in various situations, the individuals who interact daily with the people they protect often have a larger impact on their overall well-being.

Response

If an emergency were to ever arise on campus or around student housing, having on-site security ensures a faster response. Forget about having to phone in a complaint, potentially waiting hours for appropriate action, and rest easy knowing that protection stands at the ready within a matter of seconds for any unruly situation.

Protection

Another obvious benefit of having security personnel dedicated to your student housing is the ability to generate protection. Not only will their presence help to diminish criminal activity, but this feature can also make parents feel better about where their children will be spending time while in school. This act serves to bolster the reputation of an institution while also providing a quality service that can make a real difference in the lives of its students.

Ventilation

Ventilation also plays an important part in helping to keep your home safe while expanding the longevity of any roof structure. Improper airflow can not only cause water issues but this increased exposure could also lead to mold, mildew, or damage to its construction integrity.

Instead of having to prematurely replace your roof, regular professional inspections can help to identify any potential problem areas and address concerns. If you begin seeing discolored shingles, moss build-up, or other signs of decreased airflow, then quick action can help to avoid any excessive costs while also serving to maintain your property.

Flashing

As little attention is paid to roof service overall, flashing details are an even more minor component of the overall project. However, disregard for this material or improper installation could quickly lead to roof damage making full replacement a necessity. Moisture is an enemy of the home despite this outer layer being built to protect against it at all times. If not installed correctly, any rain, snow, sleet, or other precipitation from the sky may seep into the home in areas where the flashing has failed.

Surrounding vents, chimneys, and installed at construction angles, there is no area of the roof that doesn’t benefit from properly placed flashing. These should aid in helping to protect your home from water damage but if they are not used as intended, then replacement may be inevitable.

Craftsmanship

Poor construction could also lead ownership to find additional funds for a replacement after the “new” roof was installed. The saying, “You get what you pay for” didn’t just come about as in many cases this can be applied. Also remember, if you feel something is too good to be true then it may very well be worth examining a little closer.

Yes, roof replacement and repair can be expensive but ensuring that you are receiving quality service is even more important. Especially when well-executed installations can last multiple decades. It is at this point when homeowners begin to realize the value of craftsmanship and just how important it can be for a home.

Weather

Weather is one of the main enemies of a roof no matter when it was installed. Again, the average life expectancy is over a couple of decades but a severe weather event or the culmination of many over time could potentially put homeowners in the situation where a premature replacement is warranted.

High winds may cause shingles to disappear or worse, especially following a breach in the roof due to a fallen tree or limb. In some instances, a repair could be warranted but depending on other factors, the full replacement could become a reality.

The best preventative measures against any type of premature replacement are completing the annual professional inspection and ensuring quality craftsmanship.
