Working in Chippewa Falls

Snow plowing is centered on Eau Claire, and Chippewa Falls is close in at about fifteen minutes. Ask about the coming winter. The West Hill drives are the ones worth raising early: narrow, steep, and with nowhere obvious to put what comes off them.

Plowing is where a lot of asphalt damage comes from.

A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it. A blade that catches a catch basin frame lifts it, and now you have a spring repair. Piling snow in the wrong corner means meltwater runs across the lot and refreezes where people walk, and then does the freeze-thaw cycle to your asphalt fifty times over one winter in exactly the same spot. None of that is difficult to avoid. It takes knowing the pavement, which is the same knowledge the rest of this site is about.

Questions We Get in Chippewa Falls

What Chippewa Falls calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Do you plow residential driveways?
No. Plowing is commercial only: parking lots, drive lanes and walkways. Everything else on this site, sealcoating and crack filling and repair, we do for driveways as well.
Which towns do you plow?
Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The winter area is tighter than the area we do pavement work in.
When should I line up snow plowing?
Before the snow flies. Call, tell us about the property, and we'll talk through what it needs for the winter.
Does plowing damage asphalt?
It can, and most of the damage is avoidable. A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it, which undoes in one pass what sealing was meant to protect. A blade that catches the lip of a catch basin frame lifts it, and that becomes a spring repair rather than a winter inconvenience. Neither is difficult to avoid; both come down to knowing what is under the snow.
Why does the ice sheet form in the same corner every year?
Because that is where the snow gets piled and that is where the meltwater runs. A pile put in the wrong corner sends water back across the lot, where it refreezes overnight and thaws again the next afternoon. That spot then takes the freeze-thaw cycle dozens of times in a single winter while the rest of the lot takes it a handful, which is why one area ages faster than everything around it.
We just had the lot sealed. Can it be plowed this winter?
Yes, once it has cured, and a sealed surface actually plows better than a raw one because the blade rides on a tighter surface. What matters is blade height and what the plow is riding on: fresh sealer scraped by steel set too low comes off in strips. Shoes or a rubber edge deal with that, and they are worth asking about whoever does the plowing.
Does road salt damage asphalt?
Salt does far less to asphalt than it does to concrete, which is worth knowing before anybody spends money on the wrong problem. What salt really does to a lot is keep the surface wet and cycling through freezing rather than letting it stay frozen. Water in an open crack, freezing and thawing repeatedly, is what actually takes pavement apart. Sealed surfaces and filled cracks are the defense, not a different de-icer.
What does a plow do to a catch basin?
Finds it, usually the hard way. A basin frame that has settled below the asphalt catches a blade coming across it, and a frame that has been lifted proud of the surface catches it harder. Either way the impact loosens the collar around the structure, water gets under it, and by spring the ring of asphalt around the rim is coming apart. A basin that is level with the surface going into winter is the cheapest thing you can do about that.
Should we mark the edges of the lot before winter?
It helps, and it is what stops an edge getting broken off. Asphalt is at its weakest at the edge because there is nothing beside it holding it in, and a blade that runs off the pavement into the grass takes a piece of the edge with it. Markers at the corners, at the catch basins and along any island cost almost nothing and save the repair.

The Lots and Surfaces in Chippewa Falls

Chippewa Falls sits on the north bank of the Chippewa River with Duncan Creek running through the middle of it and Lake Wissota about three miles east. The West Hill rises on a bluff west of downtown, so the town has real grade: the hill and the river flats drain completely differently, and pavement on each behaves accordingly.

Old housing means old driveways, and old driveways in this valley were often laid thin over a base that was never really built. That's the honest problem in Chippewa Falls: more of the surfaces we look at here are genuinely past sealing than anywhere else we work, and telling somebody that costs us the easy job.

The commercial side is the opposite story. The industrial parks on the east side and out toward Lake Wissota are newer, larger and truck-heavy, with the kind of lots where catch basins and dock aprons carry real weight and fail on a schedule.

Same freeze regime as the rest of the valley, with footings required at 48 inches minimum. The difference here is the bluff: water coming off West Hill has somewhere to go and takes the long way, so drives at the bottom of a grade see far more of it than the ones at the top.
