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 Iowa City, 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.
Medical sites get redundancy with shadow crews during critical appointment blocks to protect patient access.
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.
If an incident inquiry lands, you answer with proof instead of guesswork.
