Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Clarke County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Clarke County IA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our fleet is optimized for large-scale efficiency. 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 small maneuverable loaders, we ensure high-traffic areas are cleared rapidly.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the snow arrives to prevent infrastructure damage.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to set snow depth triggers (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and fire lanes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a standard Clarke County IA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We utilize a combination solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, 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 apply anti-icing liquid 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 standard driveways to avoid surface harm.
Our operators are experienced in clearing without damage, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer staking services to mark driveway boundaries, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Clarke County IA, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load is determined by the area (A), depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- Soft snow is lighter, but dense snow adds massive weight.
- 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 use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for flat commercial roofs, industrial snow removal equipment to remove the bulk of the weight without damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that trap runoff. Ice dams can lead to interior damage.
