Our process, step by step
Prior to snowfall, we run a tailored checklist: note drains, prep melt, and pair operators to zones. Coordinators monitor pavement temps and update routes hourly.
When ice threatens, crew leads roll out with pre-set run cards. Edge guards stay safe near curbs to guard your investment. Foot teams stage to entries and align with plows so staff move freely.
During long events, we re-pass priority areas on rotating cadence. Salt is topped where shade trigger refreeze. Teams capture photos each visit so you verify exactly where we focused.
Once accumulation stops, we perform a closure pass to push back piles, treat slick spots, and leave notes with time stamps and follow-up plan. If wind will drift, we set a preventive touch to block black ice.
Safety and compliance
Safety anchors our crews. All team leads trains on melt chemistry, ADA access, and line-of-sight around delivery staff. We use cone lines in wind and maintain two-way comms in case networks lag.
Municipal rules shape our service cadence. We avoid drain burial and keep ADA ramps open. Abrasive mixes match pavement temps so grip stays reliable without runoff.
Compliance officers value us because photos deliver with time codes, locations, and service notes. Should you request certificates, we send them fast and update them each season.
