Vacant Property Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Vacant properties are easy to forget until a snow event creates a liability or an insurance problem, and lowland Puget Sound storms tend to arrive with little warning. We provide scheduled monitoring and clearing so walkways, entrances, and driveways stay passable even when no one is on site. Keeping paths clear also deters the appearance of neglect that attracts trespassing and code complaints. Whether it is a home between owners in Kitsap County or an idle facility in the Kent Valley, we act as your on-the-ground presence through the season.

What Affects the Cost

Number of properties and monitoring frequency; Size of areas requiring routine clearing; Distance and travel between monitored sites; Level of documentation and reporting required; Deicing materials to prevent refreeze on unused surfaces

Best Time of Year
