Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Ontonagon County MI
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Ontonagon County MI. 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 wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure high-traffic areas are cleared rapidly.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the first flake falls to prevent infrastructure damage.
- 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 open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
A snowed-in driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. 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 reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- 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 pre-treat surfaces before the storm hits, preventing the snow from bonding.
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 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, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Ontonagon County MI, 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 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 Ontonagon County MI 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 utilize gentle equipment and, for business properties, snow blowers to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can lead to interior damage.
