Snow Melt Systems

Designing snow melting systems requires an accurate assessment of the intended construction of the area to be treated, the geographic area, physical property layout and runoff of melted snow/ice. Concrete and asphalt driveways provide you and your family with a durable place to drive and park for most the year. But once winter arrives, they begin to require more attention. Shoveling your drive or walkway in the freezing cold gets old fast, especially when each day could bring a new coating of snow. Winter can also make your walkways very icy, which can be dangerous for you and your family. Salting and scraping off the ice can be very time consuming, and plowing your driveway can be costly and could cause damage to your home and concrete. Don't want to shovel? It may be time to consider adding a snow melt system to your project or retrofit your current home with a snow melt system.
Typically, a snow melt system entails embedding radiant heat tubing into the asphalt or concrete slab in your drive and walkways. The driveway or walkway has sensors that detects the outdoor temperatures and moisture and will automatically turn the system on, providing an area clear of snow and ice.
