Monday, February 1st, 2016
Last week – in light of Blizzard Jonas wreaking havoc on the nation – we talked about why you should not use de-icer on your concrete, asphalt and masonry. De-icer can be hazardous to your surfaces and surrounding vegetation. However, after a major snowfall, removing snow from these surfaces is necessary for health. So, how do you practice winter maintenance and keep your pavement and patio safe and clear of snow without hurting yourself? Let’s talk about it.
Snow Removal for Commercial Properties in Maryland
Friday, February 7th, 2014As a business owner, snow is the last thing you want to see. Snow means downtime. If employees and customers can’t make it to your business, you don’t make money. Snow also means snow removal, which isn’t cheap. And this has already been a rather snowy winter here in Maryland and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. In fact, everyone’s favorite groundhog just predicted 6 more weeks of winter. So get ready for more frigid temperatures, more snow, and more costly snow removal.
Snow Removal for Commercial Properties in Maryland
Not only is removing snow from your parking lot an expensive endeavor, it can also damage your asphalt, costing you even more money down the road! So please, follow these snow removal tips for commercial properties in Maryland:
- Prompt Snow Removal: Not only is it a good idea for your business to remove snow as soon as possible, but it is important from a legal standpoint as well. After all, the last thing you want or need is for a customer to slip and fall outside your business because you didn’t properly clear the walkway and parking lot. If this happens, you could be held liable.
- Professional Snow Removal: While you can try and tackle snow removal yourself, it is often better to leave this job to the professionals. They have the knowledge and equipment to get the job done right. Plus, a professional plowing service is far less likely to damage your parking surface. Still, accidents do happen.
If you notice any asphalt damage, whether the result of a snow plow or the constant Freeze-Thaw Effect of winter, you need to address the damage as soon as possible. Timely repairs are extremely important. If you notice a crack, pothole, or other form of asphalt damage, it is important to have it repaired quickly to avoid the issue worsening.
