Clean Your Parking Lot Thoroughly

Certain spills can eat through your asphalt over time, so you want to clear all spills away before the snow covers and conceals them. Also, rocks, debris, sticks, and trash present safety hazards when snowplows hit them.

Have Your Drainage System Inspected

If your drainage system is in good working order, it can quickly move water away from your parking lot. However, if there are clogs, water moves slowly, leaving the ice to form in frigid temperatures.
