Commercial Sidewalk Clearing

What This Service Involves

Property owners are responsible for the sidewalks fronting their buildings, and an untreated stretch is both a hazard and a liability. In many Puget Sound cities, ordinances require clearing walks within hours of a snow event. We shovel and treat the full sidewalk frontage, corner ramps, and connecting paths that pedestrians rely on. Our crews focus on traction because freezing rain, not deep snow, is what usually coats these surfaces here. Compliant, clear sidewalks protect passersby and keep your property on the right side of local rules.

Benefits

Our Process

1) Map the full sidewalk frontage and corner ramps; 2) Pre-treat walks before forecasted freezing rain; 3) Shovel and deice the frontage within ordinance timeframes; 4) Recheck ramps and connectors for refreeze

What Affects the Cost

Total linear footage of sidewalk frontage; Number of corner ramps and connectors; Local ordinance response-time requirements; Deicer volume for pedestrian traction; Frequency of rechecks during an event

Best Time of Year
