How do you handle drifting snow during wind events?

Drift zones are mapped during the pre-season walk-through. During active wind events, dispatch runs a confirmed second-pass clearing on every Tier 1 cliff-edge address by 10:00 AM, and a third pass if Environment Canada wind advisories remain in effect at 14:00. All reapplication runs are included in the seasonal contract at no additional charge.

Will salt damage my polished-concrete entry deck?

Not if we apply the right chemistry. Polished-concrete entry decks receive pre-storm traction sand and post-storm potassium-formate granules — never sodium or calcium chloride. CMA is used only on driveway aprons. Every material zone on your property is mapped during the pre-season walk-through.

How fast can you respond after I sign a seasonal contract?

For contracts signed before November 1, you are on the active route map from the first storm. For contracts signed November 1 through November 15, dispatch within 90 minutes of forecast trigger; for contracts signed after November 15, response time depends on route capacity and is discussed at signing.

Do you clear NW Marine Drive itself, or just my driveway and sidewalk?

NW Marine Drive (the roadway) is City of Vancouver responsibility. PlowWow clears your driveway, walkways, stairs, and the sidewalk frontage on your property line. We coordinate with City crews and our crews stay clear of the roadway during active municipal plowing passes.

Yes. PlowWow carries $5M commercial general liability and WorkSafeBC clearance. Certificates of insurance are provided directly to property owners and property management firms on request.
