Professional Ice Control and De-Icing Services in Anchorage

Ice control includes both preventive and reactive treatments. De-icing removes existing ice from Anchorage driveways and walkways using salt, liquid treatments, or mechanical methods. Anti-icing prevents ice formation by applying treatments before winter storms. Ice control encompasses both strategies plus ongoing monitoring and maintenance throughout Alaska winters to keep your property safe from dangerous ice buildup.

Ice control pricing in Anchorage ranges from $50-$150 per residential application and $150-$500+ for commercial properties, depending on property size and material used. Seasonal ice control contracts offer better value with unlimited treatments throughout winter. Sand application is most economical, while liquid de-icers and calcium chloride cost more but work at lower temperatures. We provide free quotes for your specific Anchorage property needs.

For Anchorage's extreme cold, calcium chloride works down to -25°F, while regular rock salt stops working around 15°F. Magnesium chloride is effective to -13°F and less corrosive. Sand provides traction but doesn't melt ice. Liquid de-icers penetrate ice faster. We select the optimal ice control product based on current Anchorage temperature, ice type, and your property's specific needs for maximum effectiveness during Alaska winters.
