Parking Lot Ice Removal

What This Service Involves

When daytime melt runs across a lot and refreezes after sunset, it builds layered ice that deicer alone cannot lift quickly. Our crews mechanically scrape and chip the bonded ice, then treat the pavement to keep it from reforming overnight. This is a common problem on shaded north-facing lots and low spots where Puget Sound drizzle pools before the freeze. Removing the ice fully, rather than just melting the top, restores safe footing and protects your pavement from further glazing.

Benefits

Clears layered ice deicer cannot lift; targets shaded and low-lying trouble spots; combines scraping with follow-up treatment; restores safe footing after refreeze; protects pavement from repeated glazing

Our Process

1) We locate bonded ice from thaw-and-refreeze cycles; 2) We mechanically scrape and chip the sheet; 3) We haul or push cleared ice aside; 4) We treat the surface to prevent reforming

What Affects the Cost

Thickness and extent of the ice buildup; labor time for mechanical removal; deicer needed after scraping; access in shaded or low-drainage areas; recurrence across the freeze period

Best Time of Year

Ice removal spikes during freeze-thaw stretches from midwinter into early spring.
