Don't Let The Snow Ruin Your Streets
The inevitable snow storms have arrived and the important question is, are your streets safe and protected?
Even after the plow trucks do their work and the salt melts the rest, it’s vital to ensure this doesn’t destroy your pavement during the freeze/thaw cycle.
As we watch the frigid temperatures fluctuate from above freezing (32F), to below freezing, and then back up again, the issue of protecting snow from melting into a small crack in the pavement becomes a highest concern.
Even a small amount of snow that melts into concrete can create cracking, leading to potholes and dangerous, uneven roads and sidewalks.
The first step is to make sure your trucks are constantly on the roads, clearing the snow almost as quickly as it falls. Keep parking lots and sidewalks cleared as often as possible.
Monitor the upcoming weather forecasts and temperatures, as this will help you stay prepared to prevent damage to your city roads and sidewalks.
