Winterization Service Assistance |
|
Winter is the harshest season when it comes to wear-and-tear on buildings. Without understanding the building, it's very difficult to prepare a proper course of action:
- Special Projects Group can assist with preparatory and maintenance measures to minimize damage and contain operating costs.
- We can help prepare a Winterization Checklist.
- A basic understanding of the building's interior and exterior conditions.
Ayars & Ayars, Inc. created the Special Projects Group as a valuable resource for winterization like the snow guards pictured at left.. We are your source for all your repair, maintenance and winterization needs. |

Increased Freeze and Thaw Cycles - When melted snow mixes with rock salt is creates a mixture that will allow for more water to seep into the concrete. When this saltwater is absorbed, it will increase the amount of freeze/thaw cycles the concrete must endure. The concrete will become more susceptible to the elements and lead to costly repair. |

Keep Safe on Ice and Snow This Winter, but... |

Never Use Salt on Concrete |
|
With snow on the way, many worry about the dangers of falls on concrete steps and walkways. The most common solution is the spread rock salt on the ice. Melting ice can be effective but it can be damaging to the concrete as pictured at left:
- Never using Salt, Fertilizer or Chemical Deicing agents.
- Never use Deicers containing sodium chloride or calcium Chloride.
- Never use Deicer with Ammonium Nitrate or Ammonium Sulfate.
- This increases the number of Freeze-Thaw cycles for the Concrete.
The best alternative to salt is to use sand. It will not melt the ice or snow, but it will give much needed traction. Let us show you how to prepare for winterization. It can make you money. |
