New Westminster Snow Removal for Commercial Properties

Winter snowfall can easily turn your commercial property into a hazard. Snow and ice can block off parking lots, cover over sidewalks and walkways, and create hazardous conditions near entrances, ramps, and loading areas. At Lo-Vac Solutions, we offer reliable and efficient New Westminster snow removal services for all commercial properties, strata developments, industrial parks, and government buildings.

Hills and changing winter temperatures in New Westminster mean that maintenance plans require careful consideration. Water can melt snow but then freeze overnight on shaded paths, slopes, and ramps. We offer ice control services to help prevent slippery surfaces from forming after clearing snow.

Our team understand New Westminster bylaws and challenges, which allows us to ensure you're always one step ahead of these dangers. Call us to get a free quote for our snow removal services in New Westminster for your property this winter.

Professional Snow Removal Services

Parking Lot Snow Removal

Snowy parking lots affect the number of available parking spots and obstruct visibility of curbs, islands, and traffic lanes. By using commercial-grade equipment for snow removal, we remove snow from parking lots, driveways, load zones, and access routes. This allows us to maintain visibility, maximize available parking spaces, and allow for continued access by customers, employees, visitors, delivery workers, and emergency vehicles.

Sidewalk & Walkway Clearing

Having clear pathways for pedestrians reduces the risk of accidents from slipping and tripping on icy and snowy surfaces. We clear walkways, entrances, stairs, and ramps to ensure pedestrians can safely navigate through your property. We pay particular attention to pedestrian routes, following New Westminster Street and Traffic Bylaw No. 7664, which states adjacent sidewalks must be cleared by 10:00 AM.

Commercial Salting & Ice Control

Black ice can still form after snow removal. Our salting services control ice buildup and prevent potential hazards, considering the surface type and the ideal product to prevent slippery conditions. We focus our de-icing efforts on high-risk surfaces, such as entrances, ramps, walkways, sidewalks, and parking areas, while minimizing chemical product application, protecting the Fraser River ecosystem.

Snow Hauling & Relocation

If your commercial property doesn't have sufficient space to store excess snow safely, we can relocate the excess snow to a alternative area or arrange for its removal to avoid blocking signs, limiting visibility, and interfering with drainage. We evaluate traffic patterns, pedestrian access, drainage points, fire routes, emergency vehicle access, and potential future snowfall to decide where excess snow should be placed.

Failing to meet your snow removal responsibilities leads to fines and liability claims. Avoid that by contacting us at Lo-Vac Solutions for winter maintenance services.

Properties We Serve

Each type of property presents unique challenges for winter maintenance strategies. Based on that, we adjust the equipment used, the timing of our visits, and the overall scope of service provided to meet the needs of your property and help you document your efforts to avoid liability risks.

  • Commercial buildings require clear parking lots, entrances, and service routes, with attention to high traffic turnover and maintaining safe access throughout business hours.
  • Office complexes benefit from early-morning snow clearing, with focus on commuter arrival times, pedestrian pathways, and preventing refreezing during the workday.
  • Industrial facilities need wide areas cleared for truck routes and loading zones, with priority on heavy equipment access, turning space, and minimizing operational delays.
  • Retail centres depend on accessible parking and storefront walkways, with frequent clearing needed to handle continuous customer traffic and maintain visibility.
  • Strata properties are responsible for clearing private walkways and common pathways, with attention to resident safety, overnight snowfall, and maintaining access to common areas.
  • Municipal and institutional properties include schools and public buildings that need reliable snow removal, with emphasis on pedestrian safety, accessibility, and compliance with public use standards.
  • Mixed-use developments combine residential, retail, and office spaces, requiring coordinated snow removal to manage varied traffic patterns and shared access points effectively.

Our Snow Removal Process

1. Property Assessment

We review your property before winter to determine areas where snow accumulation is most likely, identify key routes and assess available space for storing excess snow. We also note surfaces that are more likely to develop ice.

2. Service Planning

Using information gathered during assessment, we build a service plan tailored to meet the unique needs of your property. The plan outlines service frequencies, response protocols, and priorities for plowing, shovelling, salting, ice control, and snow placement.

3. Weather Monitoring and Dispatch

Our team watches changing weather conditions and prepares crews when snow or freezing temperatures are expected. Proactive planning helps us respond before snow buildup blocks important areas.

4. Clearing and Ice Treatment

When our crew arrive at your property, we execute our predetermined service plan by clearing the previously identified high-priority areas, followed by applying de-icing products wherever necessary to avoid slippery surfaces.

5. Follow-Up Service

Conditions may change post-initial visit, as additional snow falls, freezing rain, and refreeze can create new hazards. We provide additional visits when required, based on your agreement and the needs of your property.
