Radiant Snow Melting: The Safe, Affordable Way to Protect Yourself Against Lawsuits

It’s a battle we fight every winter. Hour after hour we shovel and salt our driveways and business entrances to try and keep our loved ones and customers safe. But no matter how diligent you are with your shoveling, snow and ice buildup seems to be inevitable.

Fortunately, radiant snow melting can help us in our endless battle of the blizzard. With unparalleled ease and affordability, snow melting systems are quickly becoming the method of choice for keeping homes and businesses everywhere safe.

The Dangers of Not Using Radiant Snow Melting

You may not know it, but you are legally bound to provide your customers with a safe entrance and exit to and from your business. That’s right—snow and ice buildup isn’t just pesky. It’s also your free ticket to a nasty personal injury lawsuit.

In 2004, a dangling icicle seriously injured a guest as he walked into a country club. Despite efforts to prove that ice buildup is inevitable on a roof, the country club lost the case after the court ruled the country club negligent. The country club knew that there were icicles but failed to take action to provide a safe entrance, and consequently, they were forced to pay the consequences.

Besides icicles, snow and ice buildup on sidewalks and driveways are also giving home and business owners grief. Endless shoveling isn’t anyone’s favorite task, and the obligatory back pain and blisters that result from shoveling are enough to make you give up on the snow completely.

Of course, you could just use salt, but besides its detrimental effects on the environment and your pets, salt also creates a slippery surface that your customers or loved ones can easily slip on. Use too much salt and you’re held liable for a slip and fall case—use too little salt and you’re still held liable for negligence.

So how do you win?
