Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Story County IA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Story County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Story County IA. Here are some of the services we offer:
High-Volume Parking Lot Plowing
Our machinery is equipped for high-volume snow removal. 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 small maneuverable loaders, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify obstacles 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 critical access routes 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 standard Story County IA challenge, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the same level of professionalism used in our large-scale operations to your property. Unlike independent truck services, we are a insured professional service, providing reliability.
Snow removal is only one step; de-icing is where hazards are controlled. Standard rock salt often loses efficacy in severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents tailored to current temperature metrics.
We utilize a combination solid and liquid applications:
- 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, making removal cleaner and faster.
Precision Driveway Plowing
We utilize equipment appropriate for residential spacing. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also deploy compact equipment for standard driveways 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, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Story County IA, 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 snow load is determined by the area (A), snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Soft snow is lighter, but dense snow adds massive weight.
- Even a moderate accumulation can overload structures.
ABC SNOW provides roof snow management. We do not use damaging picks or axes. Instead, we use non-abrasive roof rakes and, for business properties, industrial snow removal equipment to remove the bulk of the weight without damaging shingles or membranes.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof that prevent melting snow from draining off. Ice dams can force water under shingles.
