Describe your properties and inspection needs. Makeform creates a digital snow removal site inspection form for pre-service hazards, completed work, materials, photos, exceptions, and acknowledgment.
Send inspection records to Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier.

Evidence from every visit
A structured inspection records what crews found, what changed, and what still needs attention.
Required questions cover accumulation, access, vehicles, drains, curbs, and existing damage before work starts.
Crews log cleared areas, equipment, deicer quantity, exceptions, and departure condition together.
Conditional questions turn blocked access, damage, refreeze risk, and incomplete areas into next actions.
Made for field service
Choose a site type, then customize areas, materials, severity, and escalation contacts.
Inspect lots, loading areas, entrances, fire lanes, sidewalks, drains, and snow storage.
Track shared walks, steps, ramps, mail areas, hydrants, and access exceptions.
Inspect truck lanes, docks, gates, emergency routes, and shift-specific conditions.
Record driveways, walks, vehicles, instructions, photos, and customer notes.
Build the field workflow
Turn the service scope into mobile questions, then route completed records and exceptions.
List properties, inspection areas, tasks, materials, photos, and escalation conditions.
Add property choices, area checkboxes, material units, hazard severity, and exception questions.
Crews document starting conditions, photos, completed work, and return needs.
Send submissions to operations and notify supervisors about hazards or blocked areas.
Inspection record options
A generated form keeps site facts, completed work, photos, and exceptions together.
Field guide
Organize the form in the order a crew walks the property: identify the stop, establish starting conditions, record service, verify results, and flag the next action.
Visit identity
Structured identifiers make records sortable. Property, storm, operator, equipment, and arrival time distinguish repeat visits.
Starting conditions
Separate weather and snow depth from site hazards, access restrictions, and existing property damage.
Areas inspected
Use named areas instead of one completion checkbox for lots, walks, entrances, docks, fire lanes, drains, hydrants, and snow piles.
Work and materials
Record plowing, shoveling, stacking, hauling, or treatment plus equipment and material quantities for each visit.
After-service evidence
Request consistent after photos and final conditions. Record unresolved ice, snowfall, drifting, and refreeze concerns explicitly.
Exceptions and follow-up
For hazards or incomplete areas, show fields for severity, immediate action, responsible contact, and target return.

Practical answers for contractors, supervisors, and property teams replacing paper route notes.
It is a field record for a snow service visit. It identifies the property and storm, documents starting conditions, records completed work and photos, and flags incomplete areas or return visits.
Check accumulation, ice, drifting, vehicles, gates, drains, curbs, pavement, landscape edges, fixtures, and snow-storage areas. Photograph existing damage and access blockers before work.
Label photos by area and use consistent viewpoints. Conditional fields can request a close-up when a crew reports damage, an obstruction, or incomplete service.
Yes. Start with common visit fields, then use conditional sections for a retail lot, HOA, industrial facility, or residence. Crews see questions relevant to that stop.
Add material, quantity, unit, treated areas, application time, and operator fields. Include a reason when no treatment was applied or more is needed.
Show fields for the area, reason, severity, photos, temporary action, contact, and return need. Send the exception to dispatch for follow-up.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and use the inspection form across routes without a submission cap. The paid tier removes Makeform branding.
Review submissions in Makeform or route them to Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Operations can then filter by property, storm, status, and priority.
Replace scattered route notes with one field record.
