FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01When does deployment start during snowfall?
Automatically above the snow depth defined in the contract (usually 3 cm) – no phone call needed. This secures you in terms of liability.
02What happens with black ice without snow?
We grit and salt even on bare ice, e.g. after rain with sudden frost. This is part of the subscription.
03How is liability handled?
We take on the operational duty of traffic safety inside the contractually agreed perimeter. Our liability insurance covers personal and property damage.
04Do you also work at night and on weekends?
Yes, 24/7 during winter season. Early morning before rush hour is our main deployment window.
05Can we combine winter service with property maintenance?
Yes, and we recommend it. The same team knows your property, reacts faster and saves you a contract.
