Entryway Clearing

What This Service Involves

The entryway is where tracked-in slush, roof drip, and foot traffic pack snow into a stubborn layer right at your door. Our crews focus on the immediate threshold, doormat area, and the few feet of approach that see the heaviest use. In the damp Puget Sound climate this zone refreezes quickly because it sits in shade and collects meltwater from the walkway above. We clear it to the surface and apply a traction treatment that will not track a residue indoors.

Benefits

Keeps the doorway itself clear and safe to enter; stops slush from packing into the threshold; reduces meltwater refreeze right at the door; uses low-residue traction to protect indoor floors

Our Process

1) Clear the threshold and doormat zone first; 2) Remove packed slush from the door swing area; 3) Break up refreeze where the walkway meets the step; 4) Apply a low-tracking traction product at the approach

What Affects the Cost

Size of the entry landing and approach; foot traffic that repacks snow between visits; shade and meltwater that speed refreeze; door swing clearance requiring precise work; low-residue deicer selection

Best Time of Year

Entryway clearing is essential throughout the season, particularly during wet spells when slush and roof drip collect at the door.
