Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Herkimer County NY
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Herkimer County NY
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Herkimer County NY. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our machinery is optimized for large-scale efficiency. We do not simply push snow to the side; we assess your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing heavy loaders and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the first flake falls to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and critical access routes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
A snowed-in driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a standard Herkimer County NY challenge, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, 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 utilizes controlled salt applicators and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
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 pre-treat surfaces before the storm hits, preventing the snow from bonding.
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 Herkimer County NY, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, 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), snow thickness, and snow mass per volume.
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Herkimer County NY snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides roof snow management. We do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for business properties, 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 force water under shingles.
