Bergen County NJ: Snow melt and refreezing is huge safety hazard, a professional snow removal company can help reduce the risk of injury and property loss.

This been an extreme winter compared to prior years, with over 60 inches of snow falling in our area. The edges of driveways and parking lots are covered in large mounds of snow from all the plowing. The worry now is how to cope with constant refreezes as the mounds persist. Over the next few weeks the temperature is projected to be in the 40s during the day, which will melt the snow, but then dip below freezing overnight, refreezing it again. Normally you would salt your driveway, parking lot, and sidewalks and be fine, but unfortunately right now we’re further challenged with a salt and calcium chloride shortage in the tri-state area.

What we have done to help protect our clients is moved the piles of snow off the sides of driveways and commercial parking lots. This reduces the potential for refreezing and with a little spot salting, can minimize the potential for loss and injury. If you are dealing with constant refreezing of ice across your surfaces every morning, don’t hesitate to call your contractor to make your driveway safer for your family or your work safer for your employees.
