Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Shelby County IA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Shelby County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Shelby 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 methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We locate curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the first flake falls to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts 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
Waking up to an inaccessible driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation 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 erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a insured professional service, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only one step; ice management is where hazards are controlled. Basic rock salt often underperforms in extreme Shelby County IA sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes controlled salt applicators and high-performance treatments tailored to current temperature metrics.
We utilize a combination solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, causing less damage to concrete and landscaping.
- Treated Salt Blends: To increase traction immediately while ice adhesion is broken.
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 standard driveways to avoid surface harm.
Our technicians are trained to back-drag snow away from garage doors effectively, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer driveway mapping, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Shelby County IA, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As snow accumulates, compresses, and absorbs rain or ambient humidity, 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 area (A), depth of the snow (D), and snow mass per volume.
- 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 roof snow management. We use non-destructive methods. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for flat commercial roofs, snow blowers to remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
