One significant advantage of Salt Brine is its capability to be applied up to 48 hours before a storm hits. This offers considerable peace of mind, knowing that your property is treated and ready for any impending weather event. With numerous potential challenges that can arise before a snowstorm—such as forecast fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, and traffic disruptions—having your property pretreated provides a reassuring buffer against these unpredictable factors.

Despite the numerous benefits of Salt Brine, there are specific weather conditions where its application is not recommended. Contractors should diligently monitor weather forecasts and pavement temperatures to accurately determine the optimal times for applying Brine to roads or parking lots. This proactive approach ensures effective snow and ice management while mitigating any potential risks associated with adverse weather conditions.

• If snow/ice has already bonded to the pavement
• Painted surfaces and crosswalks
• In extreme cold
• If the storm begins as rain
• Pavement temperatures are above freezing

Salt brine is administered using purpose-built trucks equipped with holding tanks and spray bars. These spray bars distribute multiple streams of brine onto the roads. Additionally, sidewalk units are available for spraying brine, utilizing either hand-held wands or powered spray units. These units offer flexibility, allowing applicators to adjust the amount of material applied based on prevailing or anticipated conditions.

The application of salt to roads and paved surfaces significantly affects our environment. Salt tends to migrate into lakes and streams, posing a threat to aquatic life and ecosystems. Moreover, it can cause significant damage to landscape plant materials. Salt corrosion is a major contributor to the deterioration of roads and bridges, particularly in colder climates. However, brine applications offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative. Using only a quarter of the salt required for traditional applications, brine is directly applied to surfaces, minimizing scatter and preventing unintended environmental impact.

• Anti-icing enables quicker and cleaner cleaning of road surfaces, leading to fewer accidents and delays.
• Utilizing Liquid Brine for snow removal initiates the melting process faster compared to rock salt.
• Brine road treatment prevents bouncing or blowing off the road, which can impact other areas or waste product.
• If the storm is delayed, the Brine remains ready for when the storm begins.
• The application of salt is significantly reduced on walkways and roadways.

The limited adoption of liquid Salt Brine primarily stems from the substantial initial investment required for equipment and training. Since most customers pay for de-icing services per application, contractors lack the incentive to transition to this method.

• Liabilities: Slip and fall claims related to winter service account for more lawsuits than any other, except auto.
• Contractors will over salt to protect themselves from litigation
• Equipment to start up Salt Brine operation is expensive

• Trucks with plows and bed spreaders
• Skid Steers
• Loaders

Initial Evaluation

Upon signing up for our snow clearing service, we conduct an initial evaluation to determine the best approach for clearing snow from your property. This includes mapping out areas where snow will be placed to avoid blocking driveways, walkways, and doorways, thus ensuring safe access for customers and employees.

Maintaining a Safe Environment

We prioritize safety by considering both vehicular and pedestrian traffic on your property. Our evaluation extends to exterior areas such as decks and patios, where we ensure the following measures are taken:

• Keeping entrances, walking paths, and common areas clear of snow
• Prompt removal of snow accumulation in high-traffic areas
• Placing snow away from high-traffic zones to maintain accessibility in cold weather conditions

With our comprehensive snow clearing services, you can rest assured that your property will remain safe and accessible even during harsh winter conditions.

Preventing Hazards from Ice Accumulation

During cold weather, ice can quickly accumulate on various surfaces such as walkways, handicap ramps, driveways, decks, patios, and steps, posing a significant risk of injury due to slips and falls.

Proactive Approach to Ice Management

Our crews proactively monitor weather conditions to apply anti-icing chemicals before, during, and after winter storms. This prevents ice from bonding with surfaces, ensuring safe access for everyone.

Initial Evaluation for Effective Service

Before precipitation arrives, we conduct an initial evaluation of your property to identify areas prone to ice accumulation. This proactive approach ensures the safety of your family, friends, and guests.

Maintaining a Safe Environment

We prioritize the safety of your property by keeping entrances, walking paths, steps, common areas, driveways, parking areas, and driving lanes clear of ice. Prompt removal of ice helps maintain accessibility during cold weather.

Anti-Icing vs De-Icing Methods

Anti-Icing: Applied as a preventive measure, anti-icing treatments help prevent ice accumulation in treated areas. We apply this treatment up to 48 hours in advance of a storm based on weather conditions and forecasts.

De-Icing: Utilizing calcium, potassium, and magnesium chloride, our de-icing method effectively melts snow and ice at lower temperatures than rock salt. We carefully monitor usage to avoid overapplication, ensuring safety without excess.

Safe and Effective Ice Removal

Our de-icing applications safely clear away any remaining ice, mainly applied as a melting treatment following snow or ice accumulation. We also offer pet-friendly products for both anti-icing and de-icing applications, applied using various spreader methods for different area sizes.

The Snow Clearing Process

At [Company Name], we understand the importance of effectively clearing snow from high traffic areas around your home. Our process involves utilizing a combination of shovels and snow blowers to ensure thorough removal while minimizing damage to surrounding trees, plants, and surfaces such as brick, pavers, stamped concrete, and natural stone.

Careful Removal

We take special care during the snow removal process to avoid damaging your property’s landscape and infrastructure. By conducting an initial assessment, we strategically place snow in predetermined areas away from vehicles, pedestrian walkways, and other high traffic zones. This not only expedites the snow clearing process but also prevents snow piles from obstructing access to utilities, fire hydrants, or vehicles.

Consideration for Property Infrastructure

In addition to avoiding damage to landscape features, we also take steps to preserve the functionality of your property’s infrastructure.
