Salting, sanding & ice management

Treated before it freezes — and logged every time.

Proactive salting, sanding and freeze-cycle monitoring for commercial lots, walkways and entrances. Ice is the liability that plowing alone doesn’t solve — we treat surfaces before they turn dangerous.

One contractor, every trade

Licensed, WSIB & fully insured

24/7 storm monitoring

Documented service logs

What's included

Ice control that runs on the forecast, not on complaints.

Most winter injuries happen on days it never snowed — melt, refreeze and black ice. Every AWPM ice management contract is built around those days.

  • Preventative salting

    Salt applied ahead of a freeze so ice never bonds to the surface — far safer, and far less work, than breaking it up afterwards.

  • Sanding for traction

    Sand and grit on slopes, ramps and loading areas where salt alone won't give footing in deep cold.

  • Walkway & entrance treatment

    Hand-spread ice melt on sidewalks, stairs, ramps and accessible routes — the highest-risk square metres on your property.

  • Freeze-cycle monitoring

    We track temperature swings and melt-refreeze windows, and dispatch on thaw days even when no snow has fallen.

  • Low-corrosion material options

    Alternative de-icers for underground garages, decorative concrete and landscaped edges where rock salt does damage.

  • Application records

    Time-stamped logs of every application, material used and conditions — exactly what an insurer asks for after a claim.

Ways to work with us

Bundled with snow, or ice control on its own.

Most clients add ice management to a seasonal snow contract for one predictable winter price. If you already have a plow contractor, we’ll take on salting alone.

Safe underfoot, all winter

The days it doesn't snow are the days people fall.

Melt-refreeze turns a clear lot into black ice overnight. We watch for it and treat it before your doors open — without waiting for a phone call.

How it works

From site walk to season-long coverage.

  • 1

    Risk walk-through

    We walk the property and mark the trouble spots — slopes, downspout runoff, shaded corners, stairs and accessible routes.

  • 2

    Material & trigger plan

    We match materials to your surfaces and set the temperature and event triggers that put a truck on your site.

  • 3

    Fixed-price quote

    A clear seasonal or per-application price, with what's covered written down before winter starts.

  • 4

    Monitored all winter

    We track conditions around the clock, treat proactively, and log every application to your property file.

Why AWPM

Ice is a liability problem before it's a weather problem.

  • Documentation that stands up to a claim

    Every application time-stamped with material and conditions — the evidence that protects you in a slip-and-fall dispute.

  • We treat before the freeze, not after

    Proactive application stops ice bonding to pavement, which is safer for people and easier on your surfaces.

  • Licensed, WSIB & fully insured

    Commercial coverage on every crew member and vehicle that sets foot on your property.

  • The right material for the surface

    Rock salt where it belongs, low-corrosion melt where it doesn't — so we're not fixing your concrete in five years.
