Anti-Icing & De-Icing in North Bay
Stop ice before it starts.
Preventing ice from bonding to asphalt and concrete is far more effective than scraping it off after the freeze sets in. We apply liquid and treated anti-icing agents before the storm, keeping lots, walkways and ramps safe with fewer applications and no muddy sand tracked indoors.
Why anti-icing beats sand
Stops bonding
Ice and hard-packed snow cannot bond to the surface, so plows scrape down to pavement.
No spring sand mess
Eliminates spring sand cleanup and cuts floor cleaning costs indoors.
Fewer applications
Significantly fewer applications per storm cycle than salted sand.
Works colder
Performs at lower temperatures where regular salt fails to activate.
Treatment before the storm
How it works
We monitor incoming weather around the clock and treat your lots and sidewalks while they are still dry. As precipitation starts, the barrier keeps the lower layer slushy so plows and shovels clear right to the pavement.
Gentler on your property
Treated rock salts and liquid pre-treatments are gentler on concrete, asphalt and surrounding landscaping than repeated sand applications, and nothing grinds into your entryway floors.

Common questions
Can I book anti-icing for a single storm?
No. Anti-icing depends on precise pre-storm timing, so we offer it only as an add-on to seasonal commercial winter maintenance contracts.
What is the difference between anti-icing and de-icing?
De-icing goes down after snow has fallen. Anti-icing is applied to dry pavement before the storm so ice never bonds in the first place.
Will it track into my building like sand?
No. Liquid and treated salt pre-treatments leave no grit to carry indoors, which is why high-traffic storefronts switch to it.
