Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Shelby County IL
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Shelby County IL
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Shelby County IL. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our machinery is optimized for large-scale efficiency. We do not pile it haphazardly; we assess your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that protect vehicle areas and keep lanes clear. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our methodology includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify obstacles before the snow arrives to prevent infrastructure damage.
- 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 emergency vehicles and customers have unimpeded access.
Protecting Your Home and Family
A snowed-in driveway or a roof with excessive accumulation is a frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our commercial contracts to your property. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only half the battle; ice management is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often loses efficacy in extreme Shelby County IL sub-zero temperatures. ABC SNOW utilizes controlled salt applicators and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We utilize a combination chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, gentle on hardscapes.
- Treated Salt Blends: Enhances safety 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 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 operators are experienced in clearing without damage, ensuring you have clear access. We also offer staking services to mark driveway boundaries, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Shelby County IL, snow load is a structural threat. 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, catastrophic collapse can occur.
- 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 Shelby County IL 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, snow blowers to relieve structural pressure without causing leaks.
This service is essential for roof safetyfrozen barriers that trap runoff. Ice dams can lead to interior damage.
