Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Lyon County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Lyon County IA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our fleet is equipped for high-volume snow removal. We do not pile it haphazardly; we strategically map your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces 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 curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the snow arrives to protect assets.
- 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 fire lanes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a standard Lyon County IA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only half the battle; ice management is where safety is truly determined. Standard rock salt often underperforms in extreme Lyon County IA sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW applies controlled salt applicators and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, causing less damage to concrete and landscaping.
- Treated Salt Blends: To increase traction immediately while the chemical reaction melts the ice bond.
Liquid Brine Pre-treatment: We can apply anti-icing liquid before the storm hits, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We utilize 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 technicians are experienced in clearing without damage, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Lyon County IA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. 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, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load is determined by the area (A), snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Lyon County IA snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides roof snow management. 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 damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that trap runoff. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
