Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Dubuque County IA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Dubuque County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Dubuque County IA. 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 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 skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate obstacles before the snow arrives to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to set snow depth triggers (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We maintain key lanes 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 frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service 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; ice management is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents tailored to current temperature metrics.
We deploy multiple solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, 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 pre-treat surfaces 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 standard driveways to prevent turf damage.
Our technicians 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 Dubuque County IA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
If the structural limits are surpassed, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load 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 Dubuque County IA snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides specialized roof raking services. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for flat commercial roofs, industrial snow removal equipment to remove the bulk of the weight without damaging shingles or membranes.
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 lead to interior damage.
