Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between rock salt and ice melt?

• <div><p>Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.</p><p>Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.</p></div>

Q: Do snow removal companies need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, most states require that snow removal companies be insured under workers' compensation. This protects the employees financially if an injury were to happen (and when dealing with ice and snow, it&rsquo;s possible that injury could occur). In addition, most states require snow removal companies to be covered under general liability, which would help cover the cost of any property damage incurred during the removal process.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove snow from a roof?

• <div><p>The cost of removing snow from a roof averages between <b>$300 and $700</b>. However, this cost can range from <b>$200</b> to <b>$3,000</b>, depending on the size of your roof, the amount of snow, and roof accessibility. </p><p>Since snowfall can range from light powder to heavy and condensed snow, part of the price of roof snow removal depends on the amount and type of snow. For 12 inches of snow, you can expect to pay between <b>$200 and $2,000</b> for this job. However, for 24 inches of snow, that price rises to <b>$300 to $3,000</b>. </p></div>

Q: Can snow be too heavy for a snow blower?

• <div><p>Snow can be too heavy for a snow blower and cause clogs in the chute. However, having the correct type of blower for the snow conditions can reduce the chances of it being too heavy for it to handle. Another trick for preventing clogs is to make multiple passes while it snows rather than waiting for it to finish snowing. </p></div>
