Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Clay County IL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Clay County IL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Clay County IL. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our machinery is equipped for high-volume snow removal. We do not simply push snow to the side; we assess your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces and keep lanes clear. Utilizing heavy loaders and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process 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
A snowed-in driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a frequent local issue, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our commercial contracts to your home. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often underperforms in extreme Clay County IL sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- 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 utilize 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 prevent turf damage.
Our operators 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 Clay County IL, snow load is a structural threat. As snow accumulates, compresses, and absorbs rain or ambient humidity, its density increases.
If the weight of the snow exceeds the live load capacity of your roof structure, damage may result.
- 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 Clay County IL snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides roof snow management. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for business properties, snow blowers to relieve structural pressure without damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
