What Does Salting the Roads Do?

Salting the roads is essential in maintaining safe winter travel conditions. It helps to prevent the buildup of ice, keeps snow from bonding to surfaces, and ensures safer driving and walking.


Here are some benefits of our salting services:

Melts ice and snow:

Salt lowers water's freezing point, helping melt ice and snow on roads and walkways even when temperatures drop.

Enhances traction:

By breaking down ice, salt improves roadway traction, reducing the likelihood of vehicles slipping and sliding.

Facilitates snow removal:

Salting surfaces before heavy snowfall makes it easier for plows and shovels to remove snow, as it helps keep snow from bonding to the pavement.

When Should You Salt Your Driveway?

Salting your driveway is best done before snow accumulates or when icy conditions are forecast. By spreading salt, you can prevent ice from forming, making it easier to clear snow away and keeping your driveway safer for walking and driving.


If ice has already formed, applying salt can still help by melting the ice more quickly and reducing the risk of slips and falls. Monitor weather forecasts and be proactive in salting your driveway to ensure maximum safety.

How Long Does It Take for Driveway Salt To Work?

Generally, salt begins to work within 15 to 30 minutes after application, gradually breaking down the bond between ice and the pavement. In colder temperatures below 15°F, the effectiveness of standard rock salt decreases significantly, and it may take longer to see noticeable results. You may have to reapply salt multiple times during a snow event or cold weather to keep surfaces clear and safe.
