Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Columbia County PA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Columbia County PA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our machinery is optimized for large-scale efficiency. We do not pile it haphazardly; we assess your property to maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and keep lanes clear. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, 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 protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and critical access routes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a standard Columbia County PA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our commercial contracts to your property. Unlike independent truck services, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments tailored to current temperature metrics.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, gentle on hardscapes.
- Treated Salt Blends: Enhances safety 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 utilize tools optimized for driveways. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for standard driveways 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 PA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As snow accumulates, compresses, and absorbs rain or ambient humidity, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The weight (W) on a roof is determined by the area (A), depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Columbia County PA 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 roof snow management. We do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for business properties, snow blowers to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
