Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Columbia County NY
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Columbia County NY. 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 determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces and keep lanes clear. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate 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 immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and fire lanes to ensure emergency vehicles and customers have unimpeded access.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a frequent local issue, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike independent truck services, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; ice management is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often underperforms in extreme Columbia County NY sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW applies calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents tailored to current temperature metrics.
We deploy multiple 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, making removal cleaner and faster.
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 technicians are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Columbia County NY, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
If the structural limits are surpassed, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The weight (W) on a roof is determined by the area (A), snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, 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 roof snow management. We do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for business properties, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that trap runoff. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
