Storm monitoring

The storm is our problem now.

Every winter storm is different, so we track them all: start times, totals, temperature swings and refreeze windows. Routes are planned before the first flake lands.

That's how your driveway gets cleared while the neighbors are still finding their shovels. For bigger storms we make multiple passes, and when freezing rain is coming we pre-treat so the ice never wins.

A storm, tracked

From first model run to last refreeze.

This is the invisible service — the one that makes everything else on time.

  1. 72 hours out

    It's on the board

    A system shows up in the models. We start watching totals, track and timing against every route.

  2. 24 hours out

    Routes get staged

    Trucks fueled, salt loaded, walk crews scheduled, priority order confirmed. The plan exists before the snow does.

  3. During

    Dispatch by radar

    Crews roll on the storm's actual behavior — not a guess made yesterday. Long storms get interim passes.

  4. After

    The refreeze watch

    Melt + sunset = ice. We watch pavement temps and hit problem spots before morning.

  5. Next day

    The quiet check

    Drifts, plow lines, shaded corners — the stuff that shows up late gets caught late.

What we watch

Six signals, all winter.

The forecast is more than an inch count. These decide when and how we roll.

You used to be the one watching the radar.

That's the job we take off you. On a monitored plan, the first you hear about most storms is the sound of your driveway already being cleared.

The payoff

Why monitored properties win mornings.

Monitoring is why the route hits your driveway at the right hour instead of a convenient one — and why ice rarely gets a head start.

Planned before it lands

Routes staged on the forecast, dispatched on the radar.

Timed to your morning

Priority properties are cleared against opening hours, not whenever.

Keep exploring

Pairs well with.

Snow plowing

Driveways, private roads and parking lots plowed promptly after the snow falls — stacked clean, and never pushed onto your sidewalk.

De-icing & salting

Salt and de-icer applied where ice actually forms, so steps, walkways and lots stay safe underfoot all winter.

Seasonal snow contracts

Per-push or all-season agreements, so every storm is covered without you ever picking up the phone.

Monitoring FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

What does storm monitoring actually mean for me?

It means you never have to watch the radar. We track every system headed for Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana and dispatch crews on our own — your property is on the plan before the storm starts.

Do you come more than once in a big storm?

Yes. Long storms get interim passes so snow never piles up deep, then a full clean-up pass once it ends.

Is storm monitoring an extra charge?

No — it's baked into every seasonal plan. It's not an add-on; it's how the service works.

What happens in a multi-day storm?

Interim passes. We keep depths manageable during the storm and do a full cleanup pass at the end, plus the refreeze check after.

Will you tell me when you're coming?

You can always ask — but the point of the service is that you don't have to. Your property is on the plan automatically.

Are estimates really free?

Yes — every estimate is free and carries no obligation. We look at the property, talk through what you want, and give you a clear number before any work starts.
