Ramp Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Ramps connecting parking levels or leading into garages are where vehicles lose traction first during a Puget Sound freeze. The transition from an open, snow-covered ramp to a dry interior deck causes drivers to spin or slide right at the pinch point. We clear ramps completely and carry the treatment through the crest and base where ice concentrates. Where a ramp is covered but its approach is exposed, we focus on the open section that actually freezes.

Benefits

Restores traction on the steepest, highest-risk surfaces; Treats crest and base transitions where vehicles slip; Prevents slides at the covered-to-open pinch point; Keeps garage and multi-level access flowing

Our Process

1) Clear the full ramp surface from base to crest; 2) Remove bonded ice at the top and bottom transitions; 3) Apply traction material along the entire incline; 4) Recheck the exposed approach after melt-refreeze cycles

What Affects the Cost

Ramp length, width, and steepness of grade; Covered versus exposed sections; Ice concentration at transitions; Traction material required for the slope; Return visits during freeze-thaw swings

Best Time of Year

Keep ramps on active treatment throughout any freeze event, most common in the lowlands from December into February.
