Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Ketchikan Gateway Borough AK
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Ketchikan Gateway Borough AK. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our fleet is optimized for large-scale efficiency. We do not simply push snow to the side; we strategically map your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that protect vehicle areas and keep lanes clear. 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 locate obstacles before the snow arrives 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 fire lanes 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 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. Standard rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies controlled salt applicators and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- 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 apply anti-icing liquid before the storm hits, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for residential access to avoid surface harm.
Our operators are experienced in clearing without damage, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Ketchikan Gateway Borough AK, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The weight (W) on a roof is determined by the size of the roof, 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.
- 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 utilize gentle equipment and, for flat commercial roofs, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
