Our process, step by step
Before each forecast, we run a site-specific checklist: map hazards, stage salt, and assign crews to zones. Coordinators monitor pavement temps and update routes hourly.
When ice threatens, crew leads move with preloaded service plans. Edge guards stay conservative near landscaping to avoid damage. Hand crews stage to entries and work in sync with plows so staff stay unhindered.
During long events, we cycle priority areas every 60-90 minutes. Melt is refreshed where shade trigger refreeze. Teams capture photos every round so you verify exactly what was cleared.
Once accumulation stops, we run a final sweep to push back piles, melt stragglers, and deliver a recap with time stamps and next steps. If temps will drop, we set a proactive return to block black ice.
Safety and compliance
Safety anchors our crews. All team leads preps on equipment care, ADA access, and line-of-sight around pedestrians. We use flags in wind and maintain two-way comms in case cell coverage dips.
City codes guide our service cadence. We block drain burial and leave curb cuts ready. Salt rates match pavement temps so traction stays high without runoff.
Compliance officers value us because photos arrive with timestamps, geo tags, and service notes. If you need certificates, we provide them fast and refresh them each season.
