Snow Removal and Ice Management FAQs
What is commercial snow removal and ice management?
Our commercial snow removal and ice management services involve planning, equipment, and labor to keep commercial properties safer during winter. Basic services can include elements like plowing and sidewalk clearing. However, we also go further with deicing, pretreatment, ice cutting, and snow relocation.
How is commercial snow removal different from residential snow removal?
Commercial snow removal typically involves a larger scale with unique functions to consider. While residences mainly have driveways and walkways, a commercial area could have unique zones such as loading areas, tenant access, emergency vehicle routes, and more.
When should a property manager set up a snow removal plan?
Ideally, a snow removal plan will be in place well before it is needed. Planning before the winter season begins will promote better response times and more efficient snow/ice removal. Without proper planning, properties could face removal delays, which could put landscaping or hardscaping features at risk of lasting damage.
What should be included in a commercial snow removal plan?
As with most plans, a commercial snow removal plan thrives on the details. The more organized the information available, the better the response can adequately fit the space's needs. Key elements for a snow removal plan include notes on:
- Priority areas
- Service triggers
- Plowing routes
- Sidewalk clearing needs
- Deicing areas
- Snow storage locations
- Emergency access points
- Sensitive landscape areas
- Communication protocols
- Documentation requirements
What areas of a commercial property should be prioritized during a storm?
Generally, areas with pedestrian or vehicle traffic should get priority. That will mean the main entrances, parking lots, and sidewalks all need clearing. However, ADA routes are also essential. Other areas that rank high on priority include:
- Stairs
- Loading docks
- Fire lanes
- Emergency vehicle access
What are service triggers in snow removal?
Service triggers are put in place to help determine when snow or ice management needs to begin. Triggers will vary by property and location, but they often include elements like:
- Snowfall accumulation
- Business hours
- Safety requirements
- Icy conditions
- Property use
- And more
Why is ice management just as important as snow removal?
Ice management is essential to reduce the risk of slip-and-fall events. Even limited snowfall can result in a need for ice management. While snow's main issues lie in obstruction, ice can actively increase the risks to pedestrians and vehicles.
What is pretreatment before a winter storm?
Pretreatment involves proactive measures to prevent or reduce the accumulation of ice or snow. Simple steps include applying deicing or anti-icing materials to key areas.
What types of properties need professional snow and ice management?
Commercial properties of all types can require ice and snow management during winter. Without a snow and ice management plan, commercial operations can be dramatically interrupted when weather conditions create unsafe environments. Our clients span all manner of properties, including:
- HOAs
- Retail centers
- Office campuses
- Healthcare facilities
- Schools
- Municipalities
- Industrial properties
- Apartment communities
How can snow removal help reduce liability risk?
A proactive snow and ice management plan reduces the risk of slip-related accidents. With a defined winter safety process in place, commercial property managers can cover liability risks year-round.
Can snow removal services protect landscaping and hardscapes?
A snow and ice removal strategy is essential to protect both landscapes and hardscapes. While landscape damage may be more obvious, with plant risks and drainage issues, hardscape areas are also at risk. In particular, hardscape surface damage is a notable risk with ice and snow conditions.
Do commercial properties need snow removal overnight?
While not all properties will need overnight snow removal, many do. As winter storms often occur outside regular business hours, commercial sites may need early-morning or overnight service to restore accessibility by the following business day.
What should property managers ask before hiring a snow removal company?
The right questions can help property managers select the best snow removal company for their property's needs. Key points to ask about include:
- Response availability
- Service triggers
- Equipment capacity
- Sidewalk service
- Deicing materials
- Documentation
- Communication protocols
- Insurance
- Emergency planning
- Experience with similar commercial properties
