Liquid Salt Spraying

What This Service Involves

Liquid salt spraying gives Western Washington properties a precise way to treat pavement without the waste that comes from broadcasting dry crystals across windy, sloped lots. The solution wets the surface immediately and starts working the moment it lands, which suits the region's fast-moving freezing drizzle. We run spray rigs on sidewalks, loading zones, and entrances where an even, controlled film matters more than raw melting power. Applied either as pretreatment or as a knockdown on light ice, liquid salt keeps material on target and out of adjacent storm drains.

Benefits

Even film coverage with no crystal bounce or scatter; Begins working on contact for quick results on light ice; Reduces overspread waste onto landscaping and drains; Well suited to sidewalks, entrances, and sloped surfaces

Our Process

1) Determine whether spraying serves as pretreatment or ice knockdown; 2) Charge the spray system with correctly mixed salt solution; 3) Apply a controlled, even pass across the target surfaces; 4) Follow up with a light reapplication as conditions warrant

What Affects the Cost

Solution volume required for the coverage area; Spray equipment operation and maintenance; Whether the pass is preventive or reactive; Concentration mixed for the forecast temperature; Site slope and layout affecting application time

Best Time of Year

Liquid salt spraying is used through the core winter months whenever light ice or freezing drizzle threatens traction.
