Understanding the Risks of Snow Accumulation

Snow accumulation can lead to serious risks for properties, particularly in regions that frequently experience heavy snowfall. The National Weather Service reports that roofs can support only about 20 pounds per square foot of snow before risks of structural failure increase. Essentially, a roof with just 2 feet of snow could be at risk for a collapse, especially when heavy, wet snow is involved.

Moreover, ice can create dangerous slip-and-fall hazards on walkways and driveways. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, slips and falls accounted for nearly 27% of all workplace injuries in 2020. The freeze-thaw cycle can also create cracks in foundations or driveways, leading to repairs that can exceed thousands of dollars.

By understanding these risks, property owners can be proactive. REVM offers comprehensive property assessments to identify vulnerabilities, allowing you to address issues before they escalate.

REVM's Snow Removal Services

One of the best ways to safeguard your property during the snow season is by utilizing professional snow removal services. REVM provides timely and efficient snow removal services designed to keep your property accessible and safe.

Our team utilizes the latest equipment, including front-end loaders and snow plows, to handle snow removal effectively. Whether it's clearing driveways, sidewalks, or roofs, REVM ensures snow is promptly removed. This not only prevents accumulation but also minimizes potential hazards such as roof collapses and icy pathways.

Ice Management Solutions

In addition to snow removal, effective ice management is critical to maintaining safety during winter months. Ice can accumulate on pathways and driveways, leading to slip hazards and potential injuries. With REVM’s range of ice management solutions, including eco-friendly de-icing treatments, we target high-risk areas around your property.

For instance, by using calcium magnesium acetate, our de-icing agents prevent ice formation effectively and are safe for pets and plants. Property owners can reduce the likelihood of accidents—statistically, properties with effective ice management practices report up to 50% fewer slip-and-fall incidents.

Roof and Gutter Maintenance

Roof and gutter maintenance is another essential component of winter property safety. Snow and ice can collect on roofs, leading to the formation of ice dams that can allow water to leak into your home, leading to costly repairs. REVM provides roof and gutter maintenance services that keep your home protected.

Our inspection services include clearing any debris that can block drainage systems. By maintaining clear gutters and properly managing the snow on roofs, you can prevent water damage and maintain your property’s structural integrity during winter months.

Emergency Response Services

Despite employing the best preventative measures, winter storms can still manifest unexpected situations. REVM offers 24/7 emergency response services, ready to address urgent winter-related issues. Whether it is a roof leak, a fallen tree, or another urgent situation, our team is equipped to respond swiftly and effectively.

Knowing you have a reliable emergency response service can provide significant peace of mind. REVM’s commitment to customer service ensures you receive the necessary support, no matter the situation.

Preparing Your Property for Winter

Preparation is crucial in keeping your property safe throughout the snow season. Here are some recommended steps from REVM that property owners can take to winterize their homes:

1. Inspect Your Roof: Look for damage or signs of wear that could worsen with snow and ice.

2. Clear Gutters: Ensure gutters are debris-free to maintain proper drainage.

3. Stock Up on Supplies: Have ice melt, shovels, and other winter essentials easily accessible.

4. Plan for Snow Removal: Schedule regular snow removal services with REVM to keep your property safe and accessible.
