Keeping Summit County Safe This Winter
Winter in Summit County, Utah, is more than just picturesque mountain views and fresh powder for skiing—it’s also a season of heavy snow and icy challenges. With towns like Park City, Snyderville, and Coalville experiencing average annual snowfalls exceeding 300 inches, managing snow and ice becomes critical for both homeowners and businesses.
At EF Park City Landscaping, we go beyond basic plowing with specialized snow services tailored to address Summit County’s unique winter needs.
What Are Specialized Snow Services?
Specialized snow services address specific challenges that traditional plowing or shoveling can’t fully resolve. These services include solutions for hard-to-reach areas, ice prevention, and protecting vital infrastructure. Here’s how we keep properties in Summit County safe and functional throughout the winter:
1. Ice Dam Prevention and Removal
Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at roof edges, blocking drainage and causing water to seep into buildings. They’re a common issue in areas like Park City and Summit Park, where heavy snow and fluctuating temperatures create ideal conditions for their formation.
- Why It’s a Problem: Ice dams can cause significant damage to roofs, gutters, and interior walls.
- Our Solution: We safely remove ice dams and ensure proper drainage to protect your home or business from costly repairs.
2. Salting Ramps and Loading Docks
Slippery ramps and loading docks can be hazardous for both pedestrians and vehicles. In busy areas like Jeremy Ranch and Silver Summit, where many businesses operate year-round, maintaining safe and accessible loading zones is essential.
- Why It’s a Problem: Icy ramps increase the risk of accidents, delays, and equipment damage.
- Our Solution: We apply eco-friendly salting and de-icing treatments to keep these critical areas clear and safe.
3. HVAC Unit and Roof Snow Clearing
Summit County’s heavy snowfalls can bury rooftop HVAC units, causing malfunctions or inefficiencies. Towns like Pinebrook and Tuhaye often face this issue due to their high elevations and cold temperatures.
- Why It’s a Problem: Blocked HVAC units can lead to poor heating performance and increased energy costs.
- Our Solution: We carefully clear snow from HVAC systems and roofs, ensuring your heating system operates efficiently all winter long.
