Snow Removal Company Tips For Shifting Snow And Ice

When winter comes it can be tough to keep your sidewalks and your pathways clear of snow and ice

. Sometimes it seems that no sooner than youve shifted one load of snow, another is on the way. If you have a retail or corporate property, you operate a business or your livelihood could be damaged if snow and ice stop you from accessing your property, you need a professional snow removal company to help. If you have a large amount of land or you are responsible for sidewalks and roads then it is not advisable to shift the snow and ice yourself. Hiring a snow removal company gives you peace of mind in the winter and the ability to carry on with your business operations whatever the weather.

If you are a homeowner, the following tips may be helpful as we are moving into winter to help keep sidewalks clear and everyone moving more safely. Plan ahead so you have the correct equipment at the beginning of winter to manage your sidewalks and paths. Check in fall whether your snow shovel and ice chipper are still in good condition and order in some sand for the winter months. Make sure you are in decent physical shape to be clearing snow if you have suffered a recent illness or you have health concerns, dont attempt to clear the snow and ice yourself. Have a medical checkup if you have any concerns. When you do go outside to clear the snow, dress in layers of warm clothing and wear gloves and boots with a strong grip. Take regular breaks when you are snow clearing and make sure you warm up your muscles for shoveling with a quick walk around the block and some stretching.

Dont try to shovel too much snow at once. Use a small snow shovel or fill a large shovel half-way. Make sure you bend your legs and knees, not your back, when you lift the snow from the ground. Keep your back straight and let your thighs, torso and shoulders do the work of lifting the heavy snow. If the snow sticks to the shovel, try coating the shovel blade with cooking oil to prevent this from happening. It is easier to clear snow as soon as it falls. If you wait to clear then the snow can get packed down into ice. To clear ice, work during the day when the ice is softer in the sun. If you cant clear your ice, sprinkle sand or gravel on the ice to prevent slipping.
