• <div><p>While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.</p><p>However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.</p></div>

Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Q: How much weight can a roof take from snow?

• <div><p>Most roofs can take quite a bit of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">weight from snow</a>, but their ability to handle heavy snow is not unlimited. Most roofs can handle about 20 pounds per cubic foot of fresh snow. Ice, ice dams, and other factors can contribute to dangerous roof weight. Newer roofs, sloped roofs, and those that have more support can hold more snow than older roofs, flat roofs, and roofs with widely spaced beams. To figure out how much snow your roof can hold, you will need to contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roofing/">professional roofing contractor</a> to calculate the maximum snow load for your specific roof.</p></div>

Q: How much does hiring a pro to melt ice cost?

• <div><p>Snow removal services cost between <b>$50 and $200</b>, depending on the type and size of the job. Ice-melting services are often offered alongside snow removal and other winter maintenance scheduling. You can contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/snow-removal/">local snow removal service</a> to ask about rates in your area, and if they offer residential removal services.</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>

Do not use this service. John acts like a 5 year old. He won’t refund your money when you remind him how bad his service is everytime it snows. The guy is a crook.

He cleared the driveway and pushed the snow back far enough I would have a place to put new snow for future storms. He asked about landscaping concerns before removing the snow. I was very satisfied with this timeliness, service, and price.
