Q: Should you shovel out your window wells?

• <div><p>A common mistake is you can let snow melt naturally in a window well. However, snow buildup in the well can damage your window frames and walls. The melting snow also poses risks of water damage as it may leak through into the basement. It&rsquo;s important to shovel snow out of your window wells before too much snow is piled in there.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar melt ice on driveways?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don&rsquo;t expect it to clear your concrete the way commercial products or rock salt will. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and squeegee away the watery slush to prevent more slippery surfaces from forming.</p></div>

Q: Will salt melt ice overnight?

• <div><p>Whether salt melts ice overnight will depend on how low the temperature drops. If temperatures stay around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, you can count on salt melting ice overnight. Otherwise, the lower temperatures get, the less effective the salt is in melting ice, and the more likely you&rsquo;ll wake up with a slippery driveway the next day. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Should you let your snow blower warm up?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;in fact, it&rsquo;s an important step in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-start-snowblower.htm">how to start a snow blower</a>. Allowing the engine to idle for a few minutes prior to using a snow blower helps it reach its optimal operating temperature, which gets the fuel running properly, improves its performance, and helps prevent stalling during frigid weather. </p></div>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>

David and Brian arrived promptly, were polite, explained and showed me exactly what they were doing, cleaned up well afterward, and diligently removed shoes or wore booties in my house. They completed the job quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend them!
