Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Des Moines County IA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Des Moines County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Des Moines County IA. 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 maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing heavy loaders and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure high-traffic areas are cleared rapidly.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate obstacles before the first flake falls 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
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 top-tier service used in our commercial contracts to your home. Unlike independent truck services, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often underperforms in extreme Des Moines County IA sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes controlled salt applicators and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, gentle on hardscapes.
- 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 use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have industrial equipment for big properties, we also deploy compact equipment for residential access to avoid surface harm.
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 Des Moines County IA, snow load is a structural threat. As snow accumulates, compresses, and absorbs rain or ambient humidity, its stress on structures rises.
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 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 use non-destructive methods. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for flat commercial roofs, 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 lead to interior damage.
