Zero-Tolerance Snow Service

What This Service Involves

Some Western Washington properties, such as hospitals, senior facilities, and high-traffic retail, cannot risk even a thin glaze of snow or ice. Zero-Tolerance Snow Service assigns crews to return repeatedly during an event so pavement never builds up a slippery layer. We combine anti-icing, frequent plowing passes, and constant de-icing to hold walkways and lots at bare-and-wet condition. In a climate where wet snow refreezes fast after dark, this level of coverage is the strongest defense against slip-and-fall claims.

Benefits

Surfaces held bare throughout the entire storm; strongest slip-and-fall liability protection available; repeated passes prevent dangerous refreeze; combines anti-icing with continuous plowing; peace of mind for high-traffic and vulnerable sites

Our Process

1) We map your highest-risk zones and set a bare-pavement standard; 2) Crews pre-treat before the storm to stop bonding; 3) Repeated clearing and de-icing passes run for the storm's full duration; 4) A supervisor verifies bare conditions and logs each pass for your records

What Affects the Cost

Storm length requiring repeated return visits; total high-priority area held to bare pavement; volume of de-icer needed for continuous coverage; number of crew and equipment kept on standby; round-the-clock staffing during extended events

Best Time of Year

Contracts are arranged before winter begins, typically by early November, to guarantee crew availability for every event.
