Roy Snowmelt Flooding Cleanup
When rapid snowmelt floods your property, we clear the water and treat surfaces before the refreeze sets in.
Snow in Roy does not stay long, but the melt can still cause trouble. Roy, in Pierce County, averages 6.2 in of snow a season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. When a storm like the Feb 12, 2021 Winter Storm breaks up, meltwater can pool at doors, drains and low spots.
Washington Snow Removal handles snowmelt flooding cleanup in Roy. We are based in Bothell, and we are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property and what needs to be cleared.

Snowmelt Flooding Cleanup in Roy: What the Work Involves
Snowmelt flooding cleanup is hand work and drainage work. A crew clears snow and slush from storm drains, gutters, walkways and entries so meltwater has somewhere to go. We also move standing water away from doors and foundations where we can.
Roy's pattern shapes the job. Snow on the ground shows up only about 4 days a year, and just 1.1 days a year stay below freezing. Even so, Roy logs 42 freezing nights between Oct and Apr. That mix matters. Water that melts by day can refreeze at night and leave ice at the same low spots. Past events such as Heavy Snow on Feb 5, 2017 and Winter Weather on Nov 22, 2010 show that these storms do happen. The area also sees about 3.38 Winter Weather Advisories a year.
