Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Allamakee County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Allamakee County IA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our fleet is equipped for high-volume snow removal. We do not pile it haphazardly; we strategically map your property to maximize parking space that preserve parking spaces and keep lanes clear. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the snow arrives to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to set snow depth triggers (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and critical access routes to ensure emergency vehicles and customers have unimpeded access.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a standard Allamakee County IA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our large-scale operations to your home. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a insured professional service, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often underperforms in extreme Allamakee County IA sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW applies controlled salt applicators and advanced de-icing agents tailored to current temperature metrics.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, causing less damage to concrete and landscaping.
- Treated Salt Blends: To increase traction immediately while the chemical reaction melts the ice bond.
Liquid Brine Pre-treatment: We can pre-treat surfaces before the storm hits, preventing the snow from bonding.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for residential access to avoid surface harm.
Our technicians are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you arent left with substantial piles. We also offer staking services to mark driveway boundaries, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Allamakee County IA, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
If the weight of the snow exceeds the live load capacity of your roof structure, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The weight (W) on a roof is determined by the size of the roof, snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Allamakee County IA snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- A roof with 2 feet of wet snow could be supporting tens of thousands of pounds of extra stress.
ABC SNOW provides specialized roof raking services. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for business properties, industrial snow removal equipment to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that trap runoff. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
