Islip averages about 31.8 inches of snow a season (NOAA 1991–2020 normal) and about 74 freeze-thaw days a year in our count of NOAA data, far more than the city.

Office parks in Hauppauge and Melville, hospitals, shopping centers, commuter lots and schools all need treated lots before the morning rush.

We quote delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, with pickup and storm-night loading available.

Ice control is safety work

Every lot, sidewalk and loading dock you treat is somebody's walk to work, a delivery driver's path, a patient's ride to the clinic door. Ice control protects people first and property second. It's also how contractors and owners show they took reasonable care when a slip-and-fall claim shows up months later.

People

Ice on walks, steps and entrances is where falls happen. Getting material down before the freeze and keeping it working through the storm is the whole job.

Liability and claims

A documented, timely application program is one of the strongest positions a contractor or property owner can be in when a claim is filed. Colored treated salt helps: you can see it was applied, and so can a photo.

Property

The right material at the right rate protects concrete, landscaping, vehicles and buildings. Over-applying wastes money and does damage. Under-applying leaves ice.

Products for Long Island

Bulk rock salt

Plain sodium chloride by the ton. The workhorse for lots and roads above about 15°F.

Custom treated & colored rock salt

Rock salt coated with liquid deicer and dye. Works colder, bounces less, and shows where it went.

Liquid deicer & brine

Anti-icing before the storm and pre-wetting at the spreader. By the gallon or tanker.

Bagged salt & ice melt

Bagged rock salt, ice melt blends, mag and calcium chloride and pet-safe melt, by the pallet or the bag.

Storm-night loading

Storms don't keep office hours. When a major event is forecast, loading hours stretch so contractors can refill spreaders and V-boxes at 2 a.m. instead of waiting until morning, when the lots are already glazed.

Seasonal contract customers get first place in line when supplies get tight. Ask about storm loading in your quote.
