Snow Removal for Parking Lots

Snow accumulation affects your commercial property in Whitehorse. Whether you run a building, mall, or apartment building, the people who frequent your commercial property and the structure of your building may suffer damages if you don’t find the best commercial snow removal services in Whitehorse.

Since clearing off the sidewalks is your responsibility, neglect affects everyone who walks through, on, or past your property. If you do not fulfill your obligation to clear the sidewalks within four days, you may receive a warning from Whitehorse city officials. Ignoring that warning usually results in a series of fines until you clear the ice and snow. Furthermore, your company could face a lawsuit if someone injures themselves on accumulated snow and ice covering the sidewalks near your business.

The snow and ice add excess danger to your building’s sidewalks driveway and parking lot. The average parking lot for a commercial building can’t stay completely free from all the snowfall and ice unless you have the professionals on hand to help your business succeed. Brothers Snow are the experts in clearing your pathways each time the snow falls. If you don’t enlist our help, you could face damages to your cement thanks to the ice buildup, and people might potentially injure themselves. Melting ice water can even leak inside your building and cause mildew and mold growth that could shut down your company for good.

Residential Driveways

Sidewalk salting and management is an affordable way to keep your employees, visitors, and yourself safe during the winter season. The pricing is based on the size of the area that will be salted and number of clears and checks. Schedule to discuss so we can create plan that serves you.

Salting

We are dedicated to keeping your property safe and profitable. By keeping your lot ice free you are keeping customers and preventing potentially costly accidents. Our fleet of salting trucks are available 24/7 for 100% pure salt applications to eliminate ice and bring your lot down to pavement. Salt lowers the melting temperature of snow and ice to clear pavements and sidewalks. Spreading it correctly is an art and our drivers are trained in it.

Our sidewalk crews use walk behind spreaders to ensure they are not putting down more salt than needed. The spreader also allows more control over the salt application so all areas of the sidewalk are de-iced.

Sanding

When the weather calls for it, we offer sand applications to give traffic added traction during slippery conditions. Salt does not work at temperatures below about -15 Celcius. This is where sand comes in to help your parking lot. Sand provides traction for vehicles and your feet when traversing very icing stretches in the extreme cold. We mix our sand with winter salt to prevent the sand from freezing and clumping on your paved areas.

There is no minimum amount of snow that we will clear. If you designate that you always want “wet pavement” on your property, we can do that!!

What amount of snow and ice accumulation should I specify for plowing to begin?

This really comes down to your “snow tolerance”. For many of our medical facilities, we begin clearing snow at ¼” or less and will continue to clear until the winter event has ended. For other sites, we may not begin clearing snow until 2” of snow has fallen. It is really at the discretion of the customer, however better than 95% of our customers want to start having their snow cleared at 1” of snow or less.

Which contract is best for me?

Some partners like variable agreements (per push or time and materials) that allow you to pay for your snow and ice management “as you go”. With these types of agreements, you pay a little less in lighter winters and a little more in heavier winters. Other partners prefer a flat rate seasonal agreement. These agreements offer a single or tiered price for the entire season. These types of agreements allow for more accurate snow budgeting, as the agreement is paid in even increments over the 4-6 months of the winter season and then reconciled at the end of the year depending on the type of agreement you choose. There really isn’t one type of contract that is better than another one. It truly comes down to customer preference.
