Apartment Complex Sidewalk Clearing

What This Service Involves

Apartment residents move between buildings, carports, mail kiosks, and dumpster enclosures at every hour, so a single icy connector walk can generate a tenant injury claim against the property owner. Our crews map the entire pedestrian network of your community and clear it as a system rather than treating the parking lot alone. In the mild-but-wet Puget Sound climate, packed snow on these shaded interior walks refreezes overnight into a hard glaze that a plow never touches, which is exactly where residents fall. We document each visit so your management company has a defensible record if a claim ever surfaces.

Our Process

1) Map all interior walks, breezeways, and connector paths across the community; 2) Clear building entries and high-traffic routes first, then secondary paths; 3) Treat shaded and north-facing segments prone to overnight refreeze; 4) Log completion time and conditions for the management file

What Affects the Cost

Total linear footage across all buildings; Number of separate entrances and mail or trash access points; Percentage of walks shaded by structures or landscaping; Frequency of service tied to your trigger depth; Overnight or weekend response windows for resident safety

Best Time of Year
