Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Lancaster County PA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Lancaster County PA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Lancaster County PA. 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 maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and keep lanes clear. Utilizing heavy loaders 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 first flake falls to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Flexible plans allow you to choose snow limits (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for automatic deployment.
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
A snowed-in driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a standard Lancaster County PA challenge, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your home. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where safety is truly determined. Standard rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments tailored to current temperature metrics.
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, preventing the snow from bonding.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have industrial equipment for big properties, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers for standard driveways to prevent turf damage.
Our technicians 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, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Lancaster County PA, snow load is a structural threat. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the weight of the snow exceeds the live load capacity of your roof structure, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load is determined by the area (A), depth of the snow (D), and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Lancaster County PA snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides specialized roof raking services. We do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for flat commercial roofs, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that trap runoff. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
