Frequently asked questions
A winter service vehicle (WSV), often known as a snow removal vehicle, is a vehicle that is expressly constructed or adapted to clear ice and snow from roadways.
Yes. There are a number of different options for homeowners. The most common are shovels, snowblowers, and snowplows.
Yes. Damage to the transmission is one of the most typical car problems encountered during plowing. The problem can be caused by overheating the transmission fluid, as well as inappropriate use.
Roof rakes are recommended by most professionals for cleaning snow off rooftops since they can be used to reach the top of your house without using a ladder. Shovels should only be used if the snow has solidified or if there is a significant amount of snow that cannot be removed with a roof rake. To access the overhangs of your roof on two- and three-story homes, utilize extension poles on your rake. If there is too much wet snow and a rake isn’t cutting it, hire a snow removal professional.
The job of removing snow after a snowstorm to make travel easier and safer is known as snow removal or snow clearing. Individual households, as well as governments and businesses, do this.
The terms “snow removal” and “snow plowing” are frequently interchanged. Many companies incorrectly use the terms interchangeably, although there is a significant distinction between the two. Snow removal entails clearing all of the snow from a property, rather than simply piling it up on roads and drives. To clean sidewalks, curbs, or locations where snow piles have formed from plowing, snow removal makes use of heavy machinery such as front-end loaders and dump trucks.
Aside from using a shovel or a self-propelled snowblower, there are several methods that you can use to remove ice from your driveway. This includes treating the surface with a de-icer, pouring hot water on the snow, using a leaf blower, and installing a snow-melting system.
No. You retain liability insurance as a property owner to safeguard your assets from lawsuits in the case of an accident on your property. You should demand the same of all contractors who operate on your home or structure, especially those who work with heavy machinery on your property, such as snowplows, snow blowers, and salt spreaders.
A skid steer can apply more downward pressure on the bucket, plow, or pusher than a compact truck loader because of its four tires and less per-square-inch contact with the surface below. This helps remove more snow and ice on the first pass by providing superior scraping motion along the surface.
A tractor will clear snow more efficiently and effectively than an equivalent loader of similar size.
Yes, you can. Renting snow removal gear has the same advantages as renting construction equipment for a project in that it allows you to select the best machine for the job rather than wasting time working with what you already have.
A snow removal business makes its money by charging clients for the service of clearing their driveway and sidewalks. Clients can either pay per session or sign up for a longer term contract, which may be as short as 1 week but could also last 3 months depending upon how much snow falls during that time period.
Yes. If you don’t have a shovel and your snow blower isn’t operating, cover exposed pathways, walkways, and even your car with a plastic sheet when snow is expected. When the snow stops, simply draw the sheet back to reveal a clear passage.
Experts don’t recommend trying to take a flamethrower to your snow and ice. It could end up becoming a disaster. You really can hurt yourself, those around you, or set something on fire that you really didn’t mean to.
When it comes to clearing snow from a gravel driveway, snow blowers are the most efficient tools.
Injuries caused by slipping on wet snow are avoided by clearing the snow. It also stops vehicles from skidding when exiting the driveway.
The best snow removal equipment include skid-steer loaders, all-wheel steer loaders, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, and utility vehicles just to mention a few.
Yes. Snow removal equipment should enable contractors to do a task swiftly and efficiently, allowing them to meet all contract requirements and cover all paths without missing any locations.
Snow and ice removal is the responsibility of both the landlord and the renter, according to the City of Vancouver. “Whether you are a property owner or tenant, you are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the full width of sidewalks around your residence and business,” says the city’s website. However, according to provincial guidelines, it depends on what you rent. For example, in multi-unit buildings, “the landlord is responsible for cutting grass, shoveling snow” and other property maintenance, according to the Residential Tenancy Branch. If you rent a whole house, the tenant is “generally” responsible, but it depends on the terms of rental.
