Our Snow Removal Services In Polk County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Polk 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 simply push snow to the side; we strategically map your property to maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and skid steers for tight corners, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs 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 immediate action.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We maintain key lanes and fire lanes to ensure open routes for all traffic.
Protecting Your Home and Family
A snowed-in driveway or a dangerously loaded roof is a standard Polk County IA challenge, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service 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 one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, 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, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We use equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also deploy compact equipment for residential access to prevent turf damage.
Our operators are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer staking services to mark driveway boundaries, protecting your landscaping and hardscaping.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Polk County IA, 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 snow mass per volume.
- Soft snow is lighter, but compacted, wet Polk County IA 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 use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for business properties, industrial snow removal equipment to relieve structural pressure without damaging shingles or membranes.
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.
