Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Tompkins County NY
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Tompkins County NY
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Tompkins County NY. 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 strategically map your property to determine the most efficient stacking locations that preserve parking spaces and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure critical spots remain open.
Our commercial process 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 automatic deployment.
Traffic Flow Maintenance: We prioritize main distinct thoroughfares 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 frequent local issue, but it is not inevitable. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our large-scale operations to your home. 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 severe cold. ABC SNOW utilizes calibrated spreaders and advanced de-icing agents tailored to current temperature metrics.
We deploy multiple chemical and brine solutions:
- Magnesium Chloride: Functions where salt fails, gentle on hardscapes.
- 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 utilize tools optimized for driveways. While we have heavy loaders for long lanes, we also utilize nimble plow trucks and snow blowers 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, safeguarding surfaces.
Critical Service: Roof Raking and Snow Load Management
In Tompkins County NY, excessive accumulation can collapse roofs. As wet snow increases density, its stress on structures rises.
If the structural limits are surpassed, damage may result.
- Physics of Snow Load: The snow load is determined by the area (A), depth of the snow (D), and density of the snow ().
- Fresh powder may weigh 3-5 pounds per cubic foot, but compacted, wet Tompkins County NY snow can exceed 20+ pounds per cubic foot.
- 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 flat commercial roofs, snow blowers to relieve structural pressure 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.
