Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Franklin County VA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Franklin County VA. 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 maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure high-traffic areas are cleared rapidly.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the first flake falls to prevent infrastructure damage.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
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 Franklin County VA 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 fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; ice management is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies controlled salt applicators 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 the chemical reaction melts the ice bond.
Liquid Brine Pre-treatment: We can apply anti-icing liquid before the storm hits, preventing the snow from bonding.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We utilize tools optimized for driveways. While we have industrial equipment for big properties, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for residential access to prevent turf damage.
Our technicians are experienced in clearing without damage, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Franklin County VA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
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.
- Soft snow is lighter, 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 business properties, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure without damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsfrozen barriers that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
