Methodology
Our salt service protocols include a full salt service outside of regular working hours to have properties managed for the next business day if temperatures are met or forecasted up to 3 hours prior.
Our strategy is to have a pre-salt layer down before the snow to prevent bonding should the temperatures drop. If the required amount of snow does fall within contract parameters, we will begin a full plow service.
In a single snow event, a post salt service will clear any remaining snow and prevent icing, but will remain monitored complimentary if further action is required.
In a major snow event, which is characterised as a multi day snowfall, pre salting and post salting procedures may be paused as to not waste material from being plowed off. This method saves you money and leaves less of an impact on the environment.
