About McDermott Concrete Of Eastern Iowa, L.L.C.

Cascade takes its name from the little falls where the town's creek drops through a cut in the hills, and that same hilly ground means a lot of driveways in town run downhill toward the water instead of sitting flat. McDermott's crew treats those slopes the way it treats a concrete pour, checking the grade before doing the work, not after, plowing top to bottom so a driveway doesn't turn into an ice chute by the time someone backs out for work. Salt goes down heaviest at the bottom of each slope, where the grade levels off and meltwater likes to refreeze overnight. The valley holds cold air longer than the ridges around it, so mornings here often start a few degrees colder than the fields just outside town. By the time that cold burns off, the sloped driveways of Cascade are clear enough to trust.
