Hospital Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Emergency departments, patient drop-offs, and staff parking cannot wait behind a plow queue when a Western Washington storm hits. We assign priority sequencing to ambulance bays, ER entrances, and helipad access, then move outward to visitor lots and connecting walkways. Because many patients arrive on foot with limited mobility, we sand and de-ice paths continuously through freeze-thaw swings rather than clearing once and leaving. Crews work 24/7 with documented passes so your facilities and risk teams have a full record.

Benefits

Ambulance bays and ER entrances cleared first; Continuous de-icing for mobility-limited patients; 24/7 coverage matched to hospital operations; Documented service passes for risk management; Helipad and critical-access routes kept open

Our Process

1) Sequence routes by life-safety priority with your facilities team; 2) Pre-treat bays, entrances, and drop-offs before snowfall; 3) Clear and continuously monitor visitor and staff areas; 4) Log every pass and re-treat through each refreeze cycle

What Affects the Cost

Number of critical entrances, bays, and drop-off points; Requirement for continuous 24/7 monitoring; Extent of visitor and staff parking; Volume of de-icing for high pedestrian traffic; Level of documentation and reporting required

Best Time of Year

Hospitals need reliable coverage from November through February, and longer at foothill campuses where snow lingers.
