What the Work Involves
We spread salt or another de-icer on driveways, walks, steps, and lots, focusing on slopes, entrances, and the spots where meltwater collects. On concrete less than a year old or near plantings, we can use a de-icer that's gentler on surfaces. Salting can follow a plowing visit or be scheduled on its own during freeze-thaw stretches.
What You Get
- Safer footing on steps and entrances
- Steep driveways usable after an overnight freeze
- Salt targeted where ice actually forms
Signs You Need This
- Your driveway ices over where meltwater runs down it
- Customers or tenants use steps that ice up
- Temperatures swing above and below freezing day to night
Freeze-Thaw Nights
Many winter days around Clarksburg warm above freezing in the afternoon and drop below it at night. That’s when meltwater refreezes into the thin, clear ice that’s hardest to see. A salting visit on those nights does more for safety than any plowing visit.Protecting Concrete and Plants
Rock salt works well, but it can damage new concrete and the plants along a walk. If you have new concrete, flower beds, or a favorite shrub next to the steps, tell us. We can use less salt near them or use a different de-icer.Our Salting & Ice Control Process in Clarksburg, WV
