Winter maintenance – snow ploughing, maintenance of roads during winter

Each winter owners of family houses and housing estates have problems related to winter maintenance service – low flexibility of snow ploughing, insufficient salting and inert material distribution or danger of icing. In case you would like to gain control of winter maintenance service, become client of HomePro and we will care for high quality winter maintenance service and all related activities.

Snow ploughing

Snow ploughing on roads and footways represents number one of winter maintenance service. When the layer of fresh snow is less than 4-5 cm that is correct timing of snow ploughing. A higher layer of snow would be more demanding for maintenance and very often machines with higher power would be necessary. HomePro offers for own customers two options of winter maintenance service:

1. Automated winter maintenance service – for each client a time limit is stipulated by the contract within which winter maintenance service must be provided and completed after snowing – each service will be organized and recorded by the facility manager of HomePro. By the end of month clients will receive a record on number of services and their time. Clients with automated winter maintenance service will be provided with these services with priority.
2. Ordered winter maintenance service – clients will pay a monthly registration fee and winter maintenance service will be provided after ordering this service by a phone call.

We provide the winter maintenance service using different machines – off road vehicles modified for provision of winter service maintenance also on steep slopes or in less accessible places. Smaller machines are used for final cleaning of footways and narrow roads. But the prevailing part of winter maintenance services is provided manually, mainly final cleaning of parking lots, footways and stairs close to family houses.

Salting

Removal of snow represents only the first step of a successful winter maintenance service. The second step, not less important, represents salting and inert material distribution, which will slow down or avoid the necessity of repeated winter maintenance service. Salting is even more important in case of icing mainly on footways and stairs close to family houses which during winter can be dangerous or cause an injury by icing. Salting will follow after snow ploughing and is included in price of one operation of winter maintenance service.

Winter maintenance service – task of municipality or town district

On roads managed by municipalities, winter maintenance service shall be provided by municipalities. As a rule, during snowing or icing, municipalities will provide services according to own priorities and owners of family houses or housing estates are not leading the list, because main roads and important facilities as hospitals and schools have top priority. But family house owners are obliged provide with winter maintenance service also the adjacent land, otherwise they will pay a fine. Extreme steep roads or private areas in which roads were not handed over to municipalities for maintenance represent the problem number one during winter. HomePro provides these owners of real estate with an alternative for winter maintenance service provided by municipality or town district.
