Marble is one of the hardest, most durable materials on earth, which is why it is used for high traffic areas like lobbies, entryways, and public buildings.

But not even marble is indestructible. Over time, it can become worn, cracked, stained, or chipped. Repairing and maintaining marble can help prolong its already long life. It also can help prevent accidents.

Here are five ways to tell when your marble may be in need of repair or maintenance.

 Accident Reports – Repair or Maintenance

If there has been a recent increase in the number of accidents in your marble-covered lobby or other areas, it could be a physical flaw with the marble itself. Broken or chipped marble can be a tripping hazard. So paying attention to accident reports can raise a red flag.

Another thing to watch is complaints. Very often, your best defense against broken or worn marble is the people who use it the most. When pedestrians, visitors, and guests start to complain about the condition of your marble, it’s time to do something about it.

A third way to tell if your marble is in need of repair or maintenance is to inspect it. Scheduling regular inspections of your marble floors, walls, or other areas can help identify issues before they lead to more serious problems.

Count on the Calendar

One of the most effective ways to keep your marble in optimal condition is to simply schedule regular maintenance. Annual, monthly, or even weekly maintenance can keep your marble surfaces safe, clean, and perfect.
