Senior Living Community Deicing

What This Service Involves

Older residents face far greater consequences from a fall, and a hairline glaze from freezing rain on a walkway or entrance is enough to cause a fracture. Senior living communities in Western Washington need proactive treatment on the courtyards, connecting paths, and accessible ramps residents use throughout the day. Our crews pretreat these surfaces before any forecast freeze and monitor them continuously, giving special attention to shaded corridors between buildings. We use pet-safe, low-residue deicers appropriate for residents who may use walkers or wheelchairs.
