As winter approaches, commercial properties must prepare for the inevitable: snow and ice. For property managers, being unprepared isn’t just inconvenient—it can lead to safety hazards, liability exposure, and costly disruptions. The best defense is a strong offense, and that begins with a professional snow and ice readiness plan.
At OneSource Property Maintenance, we help commercial properties navigate winter safely and efficiently with proactive planning, reliable crews, and industry-leading equipment.
Why Winter Readiness Matters
Winter weather directly impacts the safety, functionality, and reputation of your property. Slippery sidewalks, icy parking lots, and blocked access points create hazards that can:
- Increase slip-and-fall liability
- Disrupt access to buildings and emergency routes
- Cause property damage from heavy snow and ice
- Diminish tenant satisfaction and retention
- Risk non-compliance with safety codes and regulations
A professional snow and ice management plan keeps your site safe, accessible, and welcoming no matter what winter brings.
The OneSource Readiness Approach
Unlike ad hoc snow removal, our services are planned in advance to ensure efficiency, safety, and seamless communication. Every contract includes:
1. Pre-Season Site Assessment
We inspect and map your property before the first storm, identifying high-risk areas such as slopes, shaded spots, busy walkways, and drainage zones. Fire hydrants, curbs, and utility covers are clearly marked for visibility under snow. This ensures crews are prepared for every condition.
2. Customized Snow & Ice Management Plan
We establish a detailed contract that defines scope of work, trigger depths, materials used, response times, and communication protocols. Each plan is tailored to your property’s needs, guaranteeing clarity and accountability.
3. Prioritization of Safety Zones
Our teams clear the most critical areas first—entrances, ADA ramps, emergency exits, loading docks, and common gathering areas. This minimizes risk while ensuring uninterrupted access for tenants and visitors.
4. Commercial-Grade Equipment & Materials
OneSource supplies, maintains, and operates all necessary snowplows, blowers, spreaders, and deicing equipment. We use proven, eco-friendly deicing materials to balance safety and environmental responsibility.
5. Property Marking & Protection
Before winter, we install high-visibility markers around driveways, curbs, and landscaping features. This prevents damage during low-visibility plowing and protects turf and hardscape elements.
6. 24/7 Weather Monitoring & Dispatch
Our storm response begins before the first flake falls. With real-time weather tracking and automated dispatch systems, crews mobilize early to keep your property safe and clear—even during extended or severe storms.
7. Continuous Communication
Clients receive proactive updates before, during, and after service events. Detailed service logs provide full transparency, documenting every visit for your records and compliance needs.
8. Emergency Response Preparedness
Should extreme conditions occur, OneSource teams are trained and equipped to handle emergencies quickly, protecting both property and people.
