Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Ford County IL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Ford County IL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Ford 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 pile it haphazardly; we assess your property to maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and keep lanes clear. Utilizing heavy loaders and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the snow arrives to prevent infrastructure damage.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We maintain key lanes 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 standard Ford County IL challenge, 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 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. Basic rock salt often underperforms in extreme Ford County IL sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments tailored to current temperature metrics.
We utilize a combination solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, causing less damage to concrete and landscaping.
- Treated Salt Blends: Enhances safety while ice adhesion is broken.
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 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, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Ford County IL, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load is determined by the area (A), depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- Soft snow is lighter, but compacted, wet Ford 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 flat commercial roofs, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure 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 lead to interior damage.
