Heavy accumulations of snow can pose significant difficulties for homeowners and their properties. Shoveling large volumes of snow can be both time consuming and hazardous, which makes professional snow removal essential. It is therefore imperative that homeowners hire an expert snow plowing company.
Salting occurs as needed on main roadways and neighborhood streets, due to a regional salt shortage for which we only have limited supplies available to us.
Clearing Driveways
Snow on your driveway can make it hazardous for exiting or parking vehicles, but this problem can easily be addressed using appropriate tools and hiring experienced professionals.
A top snow removal company will have top of the line equipment to complete their tasks efficiently, such as trucks with plows and experienced staff to manage even the toughest snow removal tasks.
During winter weather, City maintenance staff prioritize clearing primary traffic routes before clearing residential streets, cul-de-sacs, alleys and dead ends. You can track their progress using the City’s interactive map.
Clear parking lots and sidewalks are essential to customer safety and business operations for commercial properties. When snow accumulates on your parking lot or sidewalks, employees can become distracted and less productive, which in turn has an effect on your bottom line. Instead of risking their lives due to ineffective snow removal in Naperville services, consider spending some money for professional snow removal instead.
De-Icing Sidewalks
Make your business safer for visitors to your site by providing safe walkways. Our snow removal team offers de-icing solutions that are better for pedestrians and the environment than salt.
City code requires residents and property owners to shovel sidewalks in front of their homes and businesses to create safe passage for pedestrians – particularly children walking to school – as well as clear fire hydrants, meters, and utility boxes. We ask you to also help by not parking your car on the street during a snow event until DPW has finished clearing roads.
Note that many western suburbs do not require or enforce sidewalk shoveling and only issue tickets when snow has been shoveled back onto the street, creating dangerous situations for motorists and pedestrians. We advise talking with your neighbors and discussing local codes so everyone understands their responsibility when it comes to snow removal.
Hauling Snow
During large snow events, the City employs a priority plowing system to address major traffic routes first. Residential streets, cul-de-sacs and alleys will then be ploughed, before finally targeting dead ends. Progress of snow removal can be tracked using our interactive snow removal map.
Snow piles can obstruct visibility, limit parking space and make accessing your business difficult. Furthermore, local code requires businesses to clear snow off their property within 48 hours after experiencing a winter storm.
Commercial snow removal services provide business owners with a valuable means to minimize potential liabilities and lost revenues associated with snowy parking lots and walkways, which may become impassable without proper clearing efforts. A professional can also prevent ice formation by applying magnesium chloride or salt de-icers; these will melt the ice to make walking safe again; sooner these chemicals are applied the better they work.
Snow Removal Contracts
Snow removal can be a challenging and dangerous task for property owners. Every year, people suffer broken bones and heart attacks while shoveling their driveways. BrightView Naperville offers professional snow removal services that are monitored 24/7 to efficiently handle snow storms quickly – keeping businesses open while remaining safe for customers.
Businesses that enlist professional snow removal services will experience a boost in revenue. People will be more inclined to visit your store if its parking lot is free from ice and snow accumulations. Snow removal also serves to avoid liability issues among businesses and associations.
Many property owners hesitate to clear their own sidewalks or driveways because of concerns that they will be held liable if someone slips and falls on an icy surface on their land. But Illinois law states that property owners are not held liable unless their actions were willful or wanton.
