Who we are
We are a national snow and ice team with urban specialists who understand tight turns, pedestrian priority, and the humidity swings of coastal Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Before winter advisories, we walk your site, mark drains, map priority doors, and document hazards so nothing slows service when alerts hit.
Reports with timestamps and photos arrive automatically after each service to satisfy risk, facilities, and tenant needs.
Services tailored to city properties
We keep storefronts, medical suites, offices, garages, hotels, HOAs, and event venues accessible during every stage of a storm.
- Lot and lane plowing: Curbs, ramps, alleys, garage entrances, and loading docks with edge detailing and pile control.
- Pretreat and de-ice: Brine pretreats and eco melt tuned to temps and humidity to prevent bond and refreeze.
- Sidewalk precision: Hand crews and compact units for storefronts, crosswalks, bus stops, and shaded walks.
- Snow relocation: Planned piles that preserve visibility and parking; optional hauling when capacity is tight.
- Storm intelligence: Live monitoring with proactive alerts when thresholds trigger deployment.

Property Manager, Mixed-UseFAQ
Do you pretreat before freezing rain? Yes, brine pretreatments go down when dew points and temps show refreeze risk.
Can you haul snow off-site? We plan stack zones and haul when piles threaten visibility or parking.
How fast is dispatch? You receive ETA and progress updates automatically.
Deep-dive on keeping Cedar Rapids, Iowa city sites open
We develop block-by-block playbooks that define pretreat timing, plow order, sidewalk rotations, and valet-lane sweeps so no entrance waits.
Calibration charts in every truck keep spread rates consistent, protecting assets while hitting friction targets.
Radar, pavement sensors, and on-the-ground observations combine so we pivot from plowing to melting at the right moment.
Communication stays tight: dispatch texts when crews roll, arrive, clear priority zones, and finish, attaching photos you can forward to leadership.
HOAs and multifamily complexes are split into loops, ensuring residents always have a clear exit while we respect quiet hours.
Parking and sight lines remain strong because we pre-plan pile zones away from hydrants, cameras, and signage; if capacity shrinks, we schedule off-peak hauling.
Sustainability is baked in: brine pretreats lower total salt use while keeping surfaces safe; logs capture product type, rate, and timing.
Post-storm, we debrief with your team, adjust triggers, update maps, and refine contact trees so every event improves.
Support trucks carry spare edges, belts, and hydraulic fluid so mechanical hiccups never stall a route.
Documentation closes every loop: timestamps, route logs, treatment volumes, and photo evidence are packaged for risk, facilities, and legal stakeholders.
