What Does Home Snow & Ice Removal Include?

It’s hard to believe we’re in snow and ice season, well, unless you go outside. But seasons seem to cycle through so quickly. So it’s easy to get caught unprepared. And with snow and ice, being caught unprepared can leave you out (or in) in the cold. That’s why Divine recommends getting your home on the schedule for snow and ice removal. We’ve already gone over the benefits of snow and ice removal for business, but there’s good reason to schedule it for your El Dorado home property management too.

Why Worry About Snow & Ice?

To most homeowners, snow seems like little more than a minor nuisance. It gets in your way when trying to get somewhere on time. You only need to spend a bit of time shoveling it away, right? Well, snow can be a minor nuisance, but it can also cause major problems.

Delays

Even if you work from home, you can’t afford for your life to come to a complete stop every time it snows. When you have to commute or take the kids to school, snow and ice removal becomes even more imperative. Time is money.

Property Damage

Snow may be beautiful, but it’s not harmless. Excessive thawing and freezing can add cracks to your driveways and walkways, forcing you to replace them sooner.

Injuries

The worst thing about winter is the injuries. Every year about one million American gets hurt by falling on snow or ice. These injuries range from minor cuts to major breaks. Yikes!

Why Not Do It Yourself?

Snow and ice removal is a pain, often in a very literal way. Even if you’re in excellent shape, the movement of shoveling snow is not something you do regularly and, therefore, can lead to injuries. And you already know how common slip and fall injuries are during the winter! Beyond that, snow slows you down. If you’re used to getting out of bed at a specific time and heading to work, it’s difficult to factor in an additional task, and shoveling can lead to you being late. Finally, having pros like Divine handle your snow and ice removal means you’ll get the job done and lessen your liability. Not only are we more thorough than DIY removal, but we carry liability insurance, and by hiring us, you’ve done your due diligence to keep your property safe.

What Does Our Snow & Ice Removal Service Include?

When you hire Divine to handle your snow and ice removal, we do the job well and thoroughly. Here’s how we do it.

Driveway Plowing

Divine thoroughly clears the ice and snow from your driveway by pushing it off to the side of the driveway or the area designated by you. Our plows quickly and efficiently move your snow, allowing you to get on with your workday without waiting for someone to shovel it.

Walkway Clearing

Yay, your driveway is clear! Now you have to walk to it from your home. And no one wants to trudge through snow and end up with soggy shoes and pant legs. Divine clears your walkways, too, so your trip from the door of your home to the door to your car is uneventful.

Deicing

Once the snow is gone, that’s only half the job. When it gets just a little warmer, the sun will melt that snow, and it will refreeze into your driveway as ice, at least if left to its own devices. That’s why we include deicing in our removal service. Once we clear the way, we salt your driveways and walkways so that the melting snow won’t refreeze. Fun fact: Salt does not raise the temperature of the water. It prevents freezing by blocking the ability of water molecules to band together.
