Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Mellette County SD
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Mellette County SD. 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 simply push snow to the side; we assess your property to maximize parking space that preserve parking spaces and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing heavy loaders and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
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 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 frequent local issue, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike independent truck services, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes 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 the chemical reaction melts the ice bond.
Liquid Brine Pre-treatment: We can pre-treat surfaces before the storm hits, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have industrial equipment for big properties, we also deploy compact equipment 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 Mellette County SD, snow load is a structural threat. 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, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- 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 Mellette County SD snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- 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 do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for business properties, snow blowers 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 lead to interior damage.
