Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Shelby County AL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Shelby County AL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Shelby County AL. 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 strategically map your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that protect vehicle areas 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 snow arrives 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 prioritize main distinct thoroughfares and fire lanes 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 frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our commercial contracts to your home. Unlike independent truck services, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; de-icing is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents optimized for local temps.
We utilize a combination chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, 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, preventing the snow from bonding.
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 technicians 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 Shelby County AL, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its density increases.
If the structural limits are surpassed, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load 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 dense snow adds massive weight.
- A roof with 2 feet of wet snow could be supporting tens of thousands of pounds of extra stress.
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 relieve structural pressure without damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
