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: Is safe to walk on a roof with snow?

• <div><p>It is a bad idea to try to walk on a roof with snow on it. In fact, you should stay off your roof all year long, even when it is dry and sunny outside. There are too many things that can go wrong, and one misstep can cause serious injury or even death.</p><p>Rather, if you need to get something done on your roof, call in a pro. They have the right experience and know-how to get things done safely on a snowy roof, including snow removal.</p></div>

Q: How much snow is too much snow on a roof?

• <div><p>Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once <b>over six inches of snow</b> accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it&rsquo;s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.</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: What can I use to make my driveway less slippery if I don’t have a deicer?

• <div><p>If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don&rsquo;t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don&rsquo;t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.</p></div>

Tom answered the phone immediately for snow removal. Came the same day and did an excellent job on two long sections of sidewalk. In addition, he shoveled my walk and put down salt. Definitely a hard worker and I’ll continue to use his service. I highly recommend him.
