Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Lake County IL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Lake County IL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Lake 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 pile it haphazardly; we strategically map 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 commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate obstacles before the first flake falls to prevent infrastructure damage.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to set snow depth triggers (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We maintain key lanes and critical access routes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a frequent local issue, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our commercial contracts to your home. Unlike independent truck services, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; ice management is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often underperforms in extreme Lake County IL sub-zero temperatures. 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, gentle on hardscapes.
- Treated Salt Blends: To increase traction immediately 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 equipment appropriate for residential spacing. 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 operators are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you arent left with substantial piles. We also offer driveway mapping, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Lake County IL, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The weight (W) on a roof 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 Lake County IL snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
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 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.
