Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Houghton County MI
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Houghton County MI
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Houghton County MI. 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 determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces and keep lanes clear. Utilizing heavy loaders and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify obstacles before the snow arrives to prevent infrastructure damage.
- 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 emergency vehicles and customers have unimpeded access.
Protecting Your Home and Family
A snowed-in driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a standard Houghton County MI challenge, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your home. Unlike independent truck services, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; ice management is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies controlled salt applicators and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We utilize a combination chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, gentle on hardscapes.
- 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 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 staking services to mark driveway boundaries, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Houghton County MI, snow load is a structural threat. 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 snow load is determined by the size of the roof, depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- Soft snow is lighter, but compacted, wet Houghton County MI 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, snow blowers to relieve structural pressure 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.
