Liquid Deicing

What This Service Involves

Liquid brine goes to work the moment it hits the surface because it does not need moisture to activate the way granular salt does. In Western Washington's damp, breezy conditions, that means faster results and less product blowing off exposed lots. We spray it as both a pretreatment before a freeze and a direct treatment on thin ice, achieving uniform coverage without piles or clumps. Liquid application also uses less chloride overall, reducing corrosion and runoff. It is an efficient, precise tool well suited to our marine climate.

Benefits

Activates instantly without needing surface moisture; Even coverage resists wind and rain drift; Uses less chloride than granular for lower runoff; Works as both pretreatment and direct thin-ice treatment

Our Process

1) Mix brine to the concentration matched to conditions; 2) Spray uniformly across lots, drives, and walkways; 3) Apply as pretreatment before the freeze arrives; 4) Retreat thin ice directly as needed

What Affects the Cost

Total surface area sprayed; Brine concentration and volume required; Number of applications per event; Equipment and access for spray coverage; Balance of pretreatment versus reactive use

Best Time of Year

Liquid deicing is ideal from November through February, especially as a pretreatment before the wet, windy freeze events common to the Puget Sound lowlands.
