JC Snow Removal salts and de-ices parking lots, sidewalks and entrances at commercial properties in the five NYC boroughs and Westchester. Salting starts before snow reaches 2 inches, so walkways are treated early.
Anti-icing vs de-icing
Anti-icing means treating pavement before snow or ice bonds to it. De-icing means treating snow and ice that has already formed. Starting salting before snow reaches 2 inches helps keep walkways from icing over.
Materials
We choose the material for each site based on the surface, the conditions and the property's needs. Ask us about the materials we'd use at your property during the site assessment.
Refreeze monitoring and re-treatment
Melted snow can refreeze when temperatures drop after a storm. We re-treat walkways, entrances and lots where refreeze is a risk.
Slip-and-fall risk and documentation
Timely salting reduces slip hazards at entrances and walkways. Ask for service records for each visit so your property has a record of when treatment happened.
Salting rates and what drives them
Salting cost depends on the treated area, how often treatment is needed, and the contract type. We quote after a site assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between anti-icing and de-icing?
Anti-icing treats pavement before snow or ice bonds to it. De-icing treats snow and ice that has already formed. JC Snow Removal starts salting before snow reaches 2 inches at commercial properties in NYC and Westchester, so walkways and entrances are treated early.
How often should a commercial lot be salted?
It depends on the storm, temperature and refreeze risk. JC Snow Removal starts salting before snow reaches 2 inches and re-treats areas where melted snow can refreeze. The schedule for your site is set in your contract after an assessment.
Will salt damage concrete or pavers?
Some de-icers can be harder on certain surfaces than others. Tell JC Snow Removal about sensitive concrete or pavers during the site assessment, and we'll plan the treatment for those areas.
How does salting reduce slip-and-fall liability?
