Municipal Deicing

What This Service Involves

Municipal buildings serve the public around the clock, and an icy courthouse step or city-hall entrance exposes the jurisdiction to both citizen injury and public scrutiny. Western Washington's freezing rain hits civic plazas, accessible ramps, and the long walks between public parking and building doors. Our crews treat these high-visibility surfaces on a documented schedule that supports municipal risk-management standards. We apply deicers suited to heavy public traffic while protecting the aging concrete and masonry common to civic properties.
