Is your de-icing salt safe for our Richmond strata's concrete and landscaping?

At [plowwow.com](https://plowwow.com), we prioritize the longevity of your infrastructure. We use treated salts and liquid brines that are formulated to be less corrosive than standard rock salt. For high-traffic pedestrian areas and modern concrete entryways, we offer Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) or Magnesium Chloride, which are safer for vegetation and concrete surfaces while being effective at lower temperatures.

How does Richmond’s high water table affect how you plow our parking lot?

The high water table means Richmond properties are prone to "soft spots" and more significant freeze-thaw heaving. Our operators are trained to use "Float Mode" on their plow blades to reduce downward pressure, ensuring we clear the snow without gouging the asphalt or damaging the sensitive sub-grade structures common in the Richmond delta.

What happens if a storm hits on a holiday or at 3:00 AM?

Our commercial and strata contracts include 24/7 monitoring and response. We operate on a "Trigger-Based" system. If the weather station at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) or our local Richmond sensors indicate that the threshold (e.g., 2.5cm) has been met, our crews are automatically dispatched regardless of the time or day. You don't need to call us; we are already on our way.
