Snow and Ice Control: A Comprehensive Guide for Commercial Properties
In the heart of winter, maintaining the safety and accessibility of commercial properties becomes a top priority for business owners and property managers. A big part of this responsibility involves snow and ice control. This essential service can make a huge difference in preventing accidents, upholding a property’s image and ensuring uninterrupted operation. Let’s delve into the intricacies of snow and ice management to understand the benefits and methodologies better.
Understanding Snow and Ice Control
Commercial snow and ice control involves a range of tasks designed to mitigate the effects of winter weather on commercial properties, which include shopping centers, office complexes, educational institutions, and other public spaces. De-icing services for businesses and snow and ice management for commercial areas are critical components of this process.
These activities are essential during and after extreme winter weather occurrences such as snowstorms. They ensure safe passage for pedestrians and vehicles, maintain accessibility to and around the property, and help avoid potential lawsuits due to accidents or slip-and-fall incidents related to icy conditions.
The Process of Snow and Ice Control
The process of snow and ice management varies based on factors like the size and layout of the property, type of precipitation, and local weather conditions. However, the general process often follows a standard set of steps.
The first step is snowplowing or removing accumulated snow from areas such as parking lots, driveways, and paths. Professional contractors use various equipment, like snowplows, snow blowers, or skid-steers, to carry out this task efficiently and effectively.
After snow removal, the de-icing process begins. De-icing services typically involve applying materials, such as rock salt or calcium chloride, which help to melt away ice or prevent its formation. The choice of de-icing agent depends on several factors, including environmental impact, effectiveness in specific temperatures, and cost.
Benefits of Professional Snow and Ice Control
Having a professional and reliable snow and ice control service for your commercial property is beneficial in several ways. First and foremost, it ensures the safety of everyone who uses the property, including employees, customers, and visitors. An icy parking lot or sidewalk can lead to slip-and-fall accidents, posing a significant risk and causing potential liabilities.
Not just limited to safety aspects, a well-managed property free of snow and ice also pertains to the business’s image. A clean and well-maintained property can contribute to a positive first impression, which can positively influence customers’ perception of the business.
Preventative Snow and Ice Control
Preventative measures are an integral part of an effective snow and ice control strategy. Preventative snow and ice control involves taking actions before a storm to prevent or limit the formation of ice. This might include pre-treating areas with de-icing products.
Preventative snow and ice control can significantly reduce the total overall efforts and can make post-storm cleanup quicker and more manageable. It also ensures that commercial properties remain as usable and accessible as possible, even during a storm.
Choosing the Right Snow and Ice Management Solutions
When selecting a snow and ice management service, it’s crucial to consider factors like the company’s experience, service offerings, availability, and their familiarity with local weather conditions and property management ordinances. Businesses should also follow sustainable practices by choosing companies that use environmentally friendly de-icing agents and efficient snow removal practices.
Conclusion
Snow and ice control is undoubtedly a critical part of maintaining commercial properties during the winter. Professional snow and ice management solutions can assist businesses to avert potential hazards, uphold their image, and ensure the property runs smoothly despite the severe weather conditions. By incorporating preventative measures, businesses can stay one step ahead, minimizing the broader impact of snow and ice on operations.
Don’t let winter weather put a damper on your business. Direct your snow and ice control needs to professionals and rest assured knowing your property is in capable hands. So, stay prepared, stay safe, and let your enterprise flourish regardless of the weather outside.

About Cady, Michigan
History
The first settlement on the land that is now Clinton Township was called Gnadenhuetten and was established in 1782 by Rev. David Zeisberger, but closed in 1786. It was organized as “Huron Township” on August 12, 1818, named after what was then known as the Huron River. Because of confusion with another Huron River south of Detroit, on July 17, 1824, the Michigan Territorial Legislature renamed both the township and the river after DeWitt Clinton, the popular governor of New York from 1817 to 1823 who was largely responsible for building the Erie Canal which enabled many settlers to come to Michigan.
Moravian Drive is the township’s oldest road, dating back to the days when Moravian missionaries settled to attempt to convert the local Native Americans.
Geography
Clinton Township is in south-central Macomb County. The city of Mount Clemens, the Macomb county seat, is bordered on three sides by the northeast part of the township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Clinton Township has a total area of 28.37 square miles (73.5 km), of which 28.03 square miles (72.6 km2) are land and 0.35 square miles (0.91 km), or 1.22%, are water. The Clinton River, for which the community is named, is formed from three branches within the township. It runs east into Harrison Township, where it flows into Lake St. Clair. The township is home to many parks, notably George George Memorial Park.
Communities
There are two unincorporated communities in the township:
- Broad Acres is located in the southeastern portion on M-3/Gratiot Avenue between 15 Mile and Quinn Roads (42°32′57″N 82°54′08″W / 42.54917°N 82.90222°W; Elevation: 610 ft./186 m.).
