Emergency Snow Removal 🚨
When a big snowfall hits at the wrong time, you don’t have hours to wait around.
Blocked driveways, buried vehicles, and icy walkways are more than just inconvenient. They’re a safety risk.
Bison Bros provides reliable emergency snow removal in Edmonton so you can get out, get moving, and get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Whether you’re stuck in your driveway at 6 a.m. or a surprise storm hits overnight, we’re ready to help.
When “Later” Isn’t an Option ❄️
Emergency service is for the days when regular snow clearing isn’t enough.
You might need emergency snow removal if:
- You’re blocked in and can’t get your vehicle out
- A heavy snowfall hits between regular service visits
- You need urgent access for work, medical appointments, or family needs
- Guests, tenants, or customers can’t safely reach your property
- City plows have pushed a heavy windrow across your driveway
If you’re looking at your driveway or parking area thinking, “There’s no way I’m getting out like this,” it’s time to call.
What We Can Do in an Emergency Visit
Every situation is a little different, but most emergency snow calls include a combination of these services:
Driveway & Parking Area Clearing
- Clearing enough space for vehicles to safely enter and exit
- Removing windrows left by city plows
- Opening up access to garages and parking stalls
Access Routes & Critical Areas
- Clearing paths to side doors or essential access points (where requested)
- Making sure emergency or service vehicles can get in if needed
Walkways & Front Steps
- Shovelling or blowing front walkways to the door
- Clearing front steps and landings
- Making sure there’s a safe primary path in and out
Ice Control
- Applying ice melt or traction material to high-risk areas
- Focus on steps, entrances, and steep or slippery spots
How Emergency Service Differs from Regular Visits
Emergency snow removal is designed to get you moving fast, not to replace a full seasonal plan.
- Priority Response – We fit your emergency call into our route as soon as we safely can.
- Focused Clearing – We prioritize access and safety first (driveway, main walkways, key entrances).
- One-Time Visit – Emergency calls are billed per visit, unless you’re already on a seasonal plan.
If you find yourself calling for emergency help more than once, it’s usually a sign that a seasonal or ongoing plan will serve you better (and often cost less over the winter).
How Our Emergency Snow Response Works
Step 1 – Contact Us & Tell Us What’s Happening
You reach out with your address, how deep the snow is, and what access you need opened up (driveway only, driveway + walkway, etc.).
Step 2 – We Confirm Availability & ETA
We’ll let you know if we can take the call, give you an estimated time window, and explain pricing before we dispatch.
Step 3 – On-Site Clearing
Our crew arrives, clears the agreed-upon areas, and makes sure you can safely get in and out.
Step 4 – Optional Ongoing Plan
If you want to avoid future emergencies, we can recommend a seasonal or priority service plan tailored to your property.
Is Emergency Snow Removal Right for You?
Our emergency snow service is ideal if:
- You don’t have a regular snow removal company but need help fast
- Your regular provider is unavailable, delayed, or not answering
- You usually handle your own shovelling but this storm is too much
- You manage a rental or small commercial property and need same-day clearing
If safety or access is at risk, emergency service is the right call.

Emergency Snow Removal – FAQs

Emergency visits are billed per call and depend on the size of your driveway/lot, snow depth, and requested areas. We’ll provide pricing before dispatching a crew.
