Business Entrance Clearing

What This Service Involves

The entrance is where customers and staff form their first impression and where most winter slips actually happen. In the Seattle area, a shaded doorway can hold black ice long after the rest of the lot has cleared. We focus on entry walks, thresholds, and the immediate approach so no one hits a hidden patch stepping inside. Our crews treat these high-risk zones first and recheck them throughout the day as temperatures shift. A safe, clear entrance protects both your people and your liability exposure.

Benefits

Safe, welcoming doorways for staff and customers; Focused treatment on shaded, high-risk thresholds; Repeat checks as temperatures shift through the day; Reduced slip-and-fall exposure at the entrance

Our Process

1) Identify all customer and staff entry points; 2) Pre-treat thresholds and approaches before ice forms; 3) Shovel and deice entry walks first thing each event; 4) Recheck shaded doorways throughout the day for refreeze

What Affects the Cost

Number of entrances requiring service; Amount of shaded, refreeze-prone doorway area; Frequency of daily rechecks; Deicer chosen for direct foot traffic; Response speed at the start of each event

Best Time of Year

Entrance clearing matters most during January's freeze-thaw cycles when shaded doorways stay icy well into the day.
