1. Surfaces for vehicle traffic such as driveways, ramps, parking areas: If there is a failed tubing in your hydronic snow melt system, the best and most effective option is to replace the tubing installation by tearing out the concrete. This will ensure that your system is properly functioning and will prevent any further issues with your driveway or ramp being unable to clear snow and ice. Our team at RBA Mechanical specializes in this type of replacement and we guarantee quality work that will save you time and money in the long run. Don’t settle for temporary fixes, trust us to provide a permanent solution for your hydronic snow melt system.
2. Surfaces for foot traffic only such as walkpaths, sidewalks, patios: At RBA Mechanical, we understand the frustration and inconvenience of having a failed tubing in your hydronic snow melt system. Luckily, we have two reliable and cost-effective options for you to choose from. The first option involves removing the old concrete and redoing the tubing, ensuring that the system will work efficiently. The second option is to install new tubing directly on top of the existing concrete and then pour new concrete over it, providing a strong and durable surface for foot traffic. With our expertise and experience in hydronic systems, you can trust us to find the best solution for your specific needs. Say goodbye to failed tubing and hello to hassle-free walkways, sidewalks, and patios with RBA Mechanical.

As experts in the hydronic snow melt system industry, we have found that the most common cause of failure is a lack of freeze protection within the system. This can lead to frozen tubing and ultimately, a malfunctioning system. Another frequent culprit is using incorrect or inappropriate tubing for the specific application. This can result in damage to the system and costly repairs. Additionally, improper installation practices such as using fittings under concrete or spacing the tubing too far apart can also contribute to failures by preventing the surface from heating evenly and causing sections of tubing to freeze. With our expertise and strategic planning, you can trust that RBA Mechanical’s systems will effectively and efficiently keep your property free from snow and ice all winter long – without any unexpected failures.
