Snow Melt Systems and Sustainability
Eliminating Toxins
A Snow melt driveway clears every last bit of snow- no more using poisonous road salts and other de-icers.
Polluted Water
Snow salt ends up in bodies of water. Aquatic life dies, the food chain is disrupted, and our drinking water is contaminated.
Toxic for Humans
Health officials advise immediate medical attention if skin makes contacts with wet snow salt.
Wildlife Eats Snow Salt
Many wild animals eat road salt. These helpless beings are then subject to many health issues and even death.
Vehicle protection
Road salt is corrosive and can damage your car, from the paint to the metal components under the vehicle.
Pets Affected
These toxins cause chemical burns on paws. Ingestion is very common, which can cause vomiting, tremors, seizures, and worse.

help surfaces maintain quality with a snow melt system
Snow Salt Deteriorates Surfaces
- Think of a driveway, walkway or road you’ve seen with a noticeably deteriorated appearance.
- You may be surprised to know that this is often the result of too much exposure to salt.
- Road salt is very acidic and weakens concrete’s internal structure over time.
Freeze-thaw Cycle Cracks
- The freeze-thaw cycle is a natural process of water seeping into the finishings of driveways, roads, and other outdoor surfaces.
- When water freezes, it expands, creating strong pressure that results in cracks.
- Surface snow melting interrupts this cycle by maintaining a consistent surface temperature, preventing ice, and preserving the finishing.
Snow Plow and Shovel Scratches
- Metal blades on snowplows and constant dragging from shoveling snow scratch your surfaces.
- The long-term consequences of a typical snow removal service are not just about looks- structural damage can occur since the surface is weakened, bringing expensive repairs.
- Snow melt systems offer a gentle, effective, and hassle-free alternative.
Heated Pavement Frequently asked questions
- Yes, you can add heat to an existing driveway, walkway, and other surfaces- these are called retrofit snow melt systems
- The typical process snow melt system installation requires demolition of the current driveway, but retrofit snow melt systems only require small channels to be sawed into the existing surface.
- Heating elements are placed in the channels, and the surface is sealed.
- Eligibility for this type of snow melting system installation depends on several factors- book a free estimate with our team of professionals to find out what’s best for you.
- No, they do not- snow melt systems are designed to completely prevent ice and snow buildup.
- So what happens to the melted snow? It dissolves when it comes in contact with the surface, because the system is designed to completely evaporate the snow and dry the surface.
- In large amounts, snow may turn into water that flows off the surface through a drainage system.
- Our team of experienced professionals ensures the system is planned and installed carefully so runoff is properly drained.
- Learn more about our accomplished team on our about us page.
- In regular driveways, when frozen water expands under the surface, the pressure creates cracks. A Snow melt driveway prevents this by ensuring snow never gets a chance to freeze underneath.
- Proper design, installation, materials, and maintenance are also essential in prolonging the life of road surfaces; all things our seasoned team understands.
- Canada utilizes approximately 5 million tonnes of snow salt each year. Though it’s effective, its overuse in the snow melting industry is harmful.
- We are committed to participating in reducing this number in the long term by installing snow melt systems beyond commercial and residential properties and across infrastructure like highways, main roads, transit stations, and more.
