FAQ

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 Houghton, Michigan 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.

Supervisors run verification loops during storms, checking crosswalks, bus stops, and garage ramps; they order micro-touch-ups where foot traffic polishes melt too quickly.

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.

Because city microclimates shift fast, we carry alternate melt products to swap instantly, preventing slick spots on shaded pavers or breezeways.

If an incident inquiry lands, you answer with proof instead of guesswork.

City-ready checklist we run every storm

Pre-alert: Weather desk issues a heads-up with forecast details, trigger expectations, and planned pretreat windows so you know what to expect.

Eco melt inventory is verified and balanced to match temps, humidity, and surface type.

Photos capture condition snapshots mid-storm for real-time visibility.

Touch-ups: As temps fall or foot traffic polishes surfaces, we run micro-treatments on high-polish zones like crosswalks, bus stops, and valet lanes.

Completion packets with timestamps, melt details, and photos arrive automatically so you can forward proof instantly.

Review: We debrief with your team after major events, refining triggers, pile plans, and communications to shave minutes off the next response.
