What Actually Happens During the Teardown

The work begins with a site assessment that identifies hazards, utilities, and access points around your Reese property. Heavy equipment such as excavators and loaders are brought in to dismantle the structure methodically, starting with roofing and exterior walls before moving to interior framing and foundation removal. Debris is sorted, loaded, and hauled offsite throughout the process.

Once the structure is removed, you will see bare ground with no remnants of walls, footings, or foundation slabs. The lot is graded to match surrounding elevations and prepared for whatever use comes next, whether that is a new build or land resale.

Older Michigan structures often contain multiple construction materials such as brick, wood siding, concrete block, and asphalt shingles, all of which require different handling during demolition. The service does not include removal of underground tanks or hazardous materials, which must be addressed separately before demolition can proceed. This work transitions your property from occupied structure to cleared site ready for the next chapter.

Most People Have a Few Questions Before Booking

Demolition raises practical concerns about permits, timing, and what gets left behind. Here are answers to questions homeowners and property owners in the area typically ask before scheduling a teardown.

What permits are required for structure demolition in Reese?
You typically need a local demolition permit, and L and L excavating coordinates that process as part of the service. Requirements depend on structure type and size, and we make sure everything is filed correctly before work begins.
What happens to the debris after the building comes down?
All debris is sorted, loaded, and hauled offsite to appropriate disposal facilities. You will not be responsible for managing waste removal or cleanup.
Why does local soil condition matter during demolition?
Soil affects how foundation material is excavated and how the site is graded after removal. Properties in Reese often sit on clay-heavy soil that retains moisture, which can influence equipment operation and final grading.
What should I do if the structure has old wiring or plumbing?
Utilities should be disconnected by the appropriate service provider before demolition begins. If you are unsure about active lines, we can walk the site with you and help identify what needs to be shut off.
