Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Franklin County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Franklin County IA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our fleet is optimized for large-scale efficiency. We do not pile it haphazardly; we strategically map your property to maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. 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 obstacles before the snow arrives to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
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 dangerously loaded roof is a standard Franklin County IA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our commercial contracts to your property. Unlike independent truck services, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in extreme Franklin County IA sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, gentle on hardscapes.
- Treated Salt Blends: To increase traction immediately while ice adhesion is broken.
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, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Franklin County IA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. 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 area (A), depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but dense snow adds massive weight.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides roof snow management. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for flat commercial roofs, snow blowers to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that trap runoff. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
