Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Howard County MD
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Howard County MD
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Howard County MD. 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 strategically map your property to maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. 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 protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We maintain key lanes and critical access routes 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 frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our large-scale operations to your home. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard 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: 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 use tools optimized for driveways. While we have industrial equipment for big properties, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for standard driveways 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 Howard County MD, snow load is a structural threat. As snow accumulates, compresses, and absorbs rain or ambient humidity, 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, snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Howard County MD snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- A roof with 2 feet of wet snow could be supporting tens of thousands of pounds of extra stress.
ABC SNOW provides specialized roof raking services. We do not use damaging picks or axes. 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 trap runoff. Ice dams can lead to interior damage.
