Comprehensive Snow Management Services unique to Washington County IA
Lets Numbers Talk
Our Snow Removal Services In Washington County IA
We offer comprehensive snow removal services in Washington 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 maximize parking space that protect vehicle areas and maintain line-of-sight for traffic. Utilizing wheel loaders with containment plows and small maneuverable loaders, we ensure high-traffic areas are cleared rapidly.
Our commercial process includes:
- Pre-Season Site Mapping: We identify curbs, hydrants, and drainage inputs before the first flake falls to protect assets.
- Trigger-Based Deployment: Custom service contracts allow you to set snow depth triggers (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches) for immediate action.
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 roof with excessive accumulation is a standard Washington County IA challenge, but it doesnt have to be a burden. ABC SNOW brings the top-tier service used in our commercial contracts to your home. Unlike erratic “truck and plow” operators, we are a fully licensed and insured entity, providing peace of mind.
Snow removal is only half the battle; ice management is where safety is truly determined. Basic rock salt often underperforms in severe cold. ABC SNOW applies calibrated spreaders and high-performance treatments optimized for local temps.
We utilize a combination solid and liquid applications:
- Magnesium Chloride: Effective at lower temperatures, causing less damage to concrete and landscaping.
- Treated Salt Blends: Enhances safety while ice adhesion is broken.
Liquid Brine Pre-treatment: We can apply anti-icing liquid 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 standard driveways to prevent turf damage.
Our technicians are experienced in clearing without damage, 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 Washington 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 size of the roof, snow thickness, and density of the snow ().
- Soft snow is lighter, but compacted, wet Washington County IA 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 remove the bulk of the weight without causing leaks.
This service is vital for preventing ice damsfrozen barriers that trap runoff. Ice dams can lead to interior damage.
