School Deicing

What This Service Involves

School campuses move hundreds of children across bus loops, crosswalks, and entrance plazas within tight morning windows, and a freezing-rain glaze on those paths puts young students directly at risk. In Western Washington the ice often forms overnight and lingers in the shade of buildings and covered walkways where kids line up. Our crews pretreat drop-off zones, playground access, and pedestrian routes before buses roll and staff arrive. Detailed service logs support the district's safety documentation and liability protection.
