While keeping roads, sidewalks and building entries ice-free, it's likely you'll encounter a number of difficult projects that require extensive work before the frozen snow and ice is cleared. Professionals in the ice and snow removal industry understand the advantage of pre-treating outdoor areas with a liquid de-icing agent, but it can be challenging to get customers on-board with the process.
