Every winter, nearly 12,000 people take a trip to the emergency room due to a snow removal accident. 100 of those accidents result in death. Who knew that shoveling snow could be so dangerous?
Safety is one of just many reasons that Utah home and business owners should leave snow and ice removal to the professionals. Here’s a look at some of the others.
Many snow shoveling accidents occur in adults over the age of 55. Cold air slows the flow of oxygen to the heart, and sudden cardiac arrest is a genuine concern when combined with the increased heart rate and blood pressure from shoveling snow. Removing snow is strenuous work, and it’s safest to leave it to the professionals.
How much time did you spend outside shoveling snow last time a big storm hit? A large driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot can take hours to clear if you don’t have the right equipment. Even with a snowblower or plow, it takes a considerable amount of time to remove the snow and lay down ice melt.
Professional snow removal companies have the right equipment to make quick work of your property so you can spend your time on the things that matter most.
Do you go to bed the night before a big storm with dread, knowing you’ll have to wake up while it’s still dark to shovel snow before you leave to work? With snow and ice removal services, you can sleep soundly knowing that you’ll wake up to a professionally cleared driveway without ever having to lift a finger.
As a bonus, you can also say goodbye to late-night trips to the gas station to buy ice melt and weekends spent tinkering on the snowblower trying to get it running again.
Proper cleaning of sidewalks and driveways takes the right equipment and know-how to get the job done. Failing to get every layer of snow and ice can result in serious slip and fall accidents, so it’s best to leave the snow and ice removal to someone who’s experienced in safely and adequately clearing walkways.
The proper methods will leave your sidewalks clean and clear long after the storm is gone.
