Bank Deicing

What This Service Involves

Banks concentrate customer traffic at entrances, walk-up ATMs, and drive-through lanes where people pause, transact, and pull away, all points where a freezing-rain glaze causes falls and fender-benders. In Western Washington the ATM apron and drive-through often ice over first because they sit exposed and shaded. Our crews treat the lobby entrance, ATM approach, and drive-through lanes before opening and keep them clear through business hours. We use clean deicers that will not track into the lobby or corrode the drive-through's sealed surfaces.
