Roy Snow Melter Service
Our snow melters convert piled snow to water on site, eliminating hauling on space-limited properties.
Roy gets about 6.2 in of snow in an average season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. Most of the trouble comes from the 42 freezing nights between October and April, plus about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing. Washington Snow Removal offers snow melter service for Roy properties.
We are based in Bothell, licensed, bonded and insured. Roy is 104 minutes from our yard, so we plan dispatches around that drive. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property and the work you need.

Snow Melter Service in Roy, Pierce County
A snow melter service clears snow and ice from a property by melting it rather than only pushing it aside. At a Roy property, that matters on days when a light dusting freezes overnight and leaves slick walkways, entries and parking areas.
Roy's pattern is mostly light snow and hard frost. With 42 freezing nights from October to April, ice is a more regular problem than deep snow. Still, big storms do happen. Since 2005 there have been 11 winter storm and heavy snow reports. The biggest was Jan 15-19, 2012, with 12.9 in total and 8.3 in on the biggest day. Feb 5-6, 2017 brought 9.9 in, and Feb 9, 2019 brought 7.4 in in a single day.
