Snow & Ice Management


Snow & Ice Management Services in Canada | Smirac Facility Solution

Winter in Canada can be unpredictable, and managing snow and ice is essential for maintaining safety, accessibility, and productivity. At Smirac Facility Solution, we provide reliable snow and ice management services designed to keep commercial and residential properties safe during harsh winter conditions. Our professional team uses modern equipment and proven methods to ensure that roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and entryways remain clear and hazard-free all season long.

Here's an overview of snow and ice management activities

1. Snow Plowing

Our snow plowing services keep your driveways, parking lots, and private roads clear after heavy snowfall. Using advanced snowplows and heavy-duty machinery, we remove accumulated snow efficiently while minimizing surface damage. Regular plowing helps maintain smooth traffic flow and reduces the risk of slips or collisions.

2. Snow Shoveling and Manual Clearing

For areas where machinery can’t reach — such as sidewalks, stairs, or narrow pathways — our team provides manual snow shoveling and clearing services. This ensures every corner of your property remains safe for pedestrians and visitors.

3. Ice Control and De-Icing

Icy surfaces are among the biggest winter hazards. Our de-icing services use effective materials like rock salt, calcium chloride, and eco-friendly alternatives to prevent ice buildup and improve traction. We also offer pre-treatment options before storms to minimize ice bonding.

4. Pre-Treatment and Preventive Services

Before a snowstorm, our specialists apply anti-icing agents that prevent snow and ice from sticking to surfaces. This proactive approach makes snow removal faster and safer once the storm passes.

5. Sidewalk and Walkway Maintenance

Keeping walkways clear and slip-free is critical for safety compliance and public access. Our sidewalk snow clearing services ensure a safe walking environment for tenants, employees, and customers.

6. Parking Lot and Road Salting

We apply salt and other de-icing agents to parking lots and roads to prevent ice formation and maintain traction. Proper salting reduces accidents and ensures smooth traffic movement even during freezing temperatures.

7. Roof Snow Removal

Heavy snow buildup on roofs can cause severe structural stress. Our roof snow removal services protect your building from damage or collapse by safely removing accumulated snow using specialized tools and techniques.

8. Snow Hauling and Relocation

In cases of heavy snowfall, we provide snow hauling services to remove excess snow from your property and transport it to designated dumping areas — keeping your property accessible and visually appealing.

9. 24/7 Monitoring and Rapid Response

Our team continuously monitors weather forecasts to stay ahead of storms. With 24/7 snow response services, we act quickly to prevent hazards and minimize downtime for your operations.

10. Emergency Snow Removal

When unexpected snowfalls or freezing rain strike, our emergency response team is ready to handle urgent situations — ensuring immediate access and safety.

11. Specialty Equipment

We utilize high-performance equipment such as snow blowers, melters, and spreaders to provide efficient and safe results. Our fleet is well-maintained to handle all property sizes — from small lots to large commercial complexes.

12. Communication and Coordination

Clear communication with property managers and tenants ensures everyone stays informed during snow and ice operations. We provide service updates and post-storm reports for full transparency.

13. Environmentally Responsible Practices

At Smirac Facility Solution, we prioritize eco-friendly snow management. We use sustainable de-icing materials and methods to protect vegetation, groundwater, and surrounding ecosystems.

14. Risk Assessment and Safety Planning

Every property is different. Our experts perform detailed risk assessments to identify areas prone to ice buildup or snow accumulation, implementing tailored solutions to mitigate those risks.

15. Record Keeping and Documentation

We maintain detailed records of all snow and ice management activities — including dates, materials used, and service timing — ensuring accountability and compliance with safety standards.
