Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Knox County IL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Knox County IL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Knox County IL. 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 wheel loaders with containment plows and skid steers for tight corners, 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 maintain key lanes 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 dangerously loaded roof is a standard Knox County IL 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 insured professional service, 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 tailored to current temperature metrics.
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, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use tools optimized for driveways. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also deploy compact equipment for residential access to prevent turf damage.
Our operators are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Knox County IL, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
If the structural limits are surpassed, 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 density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Knox County IL snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides specialized roof raking services. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we utilize gentle equipment and, for flat commercial roofs, snow blowers to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
