Self-Storage Facility Deicing

What This Service Involves

Self-storage customers navigate narrow drive aisles and pull heavy carts to their units at all hours, so a freezing-rain glaze between rows creates both a fall risk and stuck-vehicle problems. Western Washington facilities feature long, exposed aisles and roll-up-door approaches that ice over quickly overnight. Our crews treat the main drive lanes, high-traffic unit rows, and the rental office entrance on a schedule matched to customer access hours. We use deicers that perform in the tight aisles without damaging concrete aprons at each unit door.
