QUESTIONS · ANSWERED
De-Icing questions, answered.
When do contracts sign?
Most contracts sign before Halloween for the upcoming winter. We mark drives, walks, and sprinkler heads in November so the crew knows the property before the first storm. After November 15 we still accept new contracts but the routes are mostly set.
What is the activation trigger?
2 inches by default. Below 2 inches we don't service residential. Commercial accounts can specify a lower trigger (1 inch or zero-trigger ice management) for an additional contracted fee.
What is your response time?
2 hours from trigger fire on residential. 2 hours by contracted SLA on commercial. We dispatch in waves — residential routes run after the commercial accounts, so a residential customer is usually served by 7 AM after an overnight storm.
Are you insured for snow work?
Yes — $2M general liability plus full property-damage coverage on every plow on the road. COI sent during onboarding before the first storm. Slip-and-fall coverage on commercial accounts in case of incident at a serviced lot.
Do you do de-icing only, without plowing?
Yes — de-icing is a standalone service. Pet-safe melt on residential, calibrated salt or eco-melt on commercial per the contract spec. Useful for properties where the village plows the drive but the walks need treatment.
