How to melt snow on a driveway fast?

• <div><p>You can quickly melt snow on your driveway by adding rock salt, hot water, de-icer, and other melting products. These <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-removal-equipment-types.htm">snow removal methods</a> will quickly melt any snow on slippery ice from your driveway, making it safer to maneuver. For a more permanent solution, consider using melting mats or installing a heated driveway system. </p></div>

When should I call a company about snow removal?

• <div><p>The best time to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm"> hire a snow removal professional</a> is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.</p></div>

Q: What does home winterization involve?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-steps-winterize-your-sprinkler-system.htm">winterizing sprinklers</a>, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove snow from my roof myself?

• <div><p>While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there&rsquo;s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment. </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>
