Snow Removal Des Moines, IA
TotalSnowRemoval keeps city blocks, alleys, sidewalks, and rooftops in Des Moines, IA clear with agile crews, weather-smart routing, and communication that never leaves you guessing.
Built for City Pace
We pre-stage close to high-density zones, route around rush hours, and hit refreeze windows overnight to keep entrances, sidewalks, and loading zones clear.
Local Operators, City-Proof Processes
Our crews live in Des Moines, IA, know which streets drift, which curbs ice over, and which alleys demand compact equipment. We mix that local insight with national standards: pre-trip checklists, dispatch protocols, and post-service proof that stands up in any board meeting.
Every storm triggers the same rhythm: calibrate spreaders, confirm routes, share ETAs, and document with photos and timestamps. If radar shifts, we resequence runs and add crews so you still open on time.
Storefronts & Sidewalks
Clean edges, open curb cuts, and salted entries protect customers and reduce slip claims. We sweep, shovel, and melt without blocking foot traffic.
- Early passes before commuters arrive
- Hand-detail on steps and ramps
- Surface-safe melt near entries
Residential & Mid-Rise
Residents receive before/after photos, so they know paths are clear before heading out.
- Stack-smart plowing
- Walkway and stoop detail
- Second sweeps after temps drop
Commercial & Logistics
Loading docks, alleys, and vendor lanes stay open with route planning that dodges delivery windows. We coordinate with your teams so plows and trucks never compete.
- On-call during rush windows
- Heavy gear when accumulation climbs
- Material logs for audits
Speed, Documentation, Care
City dispatch on-call all night, with eyes on radar and feet on the ground.
Photos, GPS, and timestamps after every pass mean no guesswork.
Targeted applications avoid waste and runoff.
We route around traffic surges, school zones, and hospital blocks to keep service fast without cutting corners. Backup crews stand ready when storms stall or bands intensify, ensuring your property stays open.
City Detail That Protects People
Apartment and condo entries get special attention: handrails brushed, steps scraped, and melt brushed in evenly to avoid slick patches.
We map hazards in advance: shaded alleys that ice over, downspouts that drip onto walks, and tiles that stay slick. By knowing them, we treat them before they become slip claims.
Operations That Keep You Open
For multi-day systems, we rotate crews, refuel, and swap blades to avoid fatigue and downtime. Your site stays covered without sacrificing quality.
We respect city living: minimal noise where possible, careful around parked cars, and tidy stack lines that do not block drains or hydrants. Our drivers move slow near pedestrians, and spotters step out when visibility narrows.

City Storm Blueprint
Before flakes fall, we walk your site, flag hazards, set stack zones, and align on priorities so plows, shovels, and melt all land exactly where they should. Tight alleys and busy sidewalks get compact equipment and hand crews with clear instructions on where to start, where to stack, and how to keep fire lanes visible.
