What Our Demolition Services Include

We use excavators, jackhammers, and hauling equipment to break apart concrete, remove buried tanks, and dismantle structures safely in Fayetteville. For septic tank removal, we pump out any remaining contents before breaking up the tank and hauling it away. Concrete slabs are broken into manageable pieces, loaded onto trucks, and taken to an approved disposal site.

Once demolition is complete, you'll see a cleared, level site ready for grading, new construction, or landscaping. Debris is removed from the property, and the area is left clean and safe for the next phase of work. Proper demolition also eliminates hazards such as unstable walls, cracked concrete, or abandoned septic tanks that could collapse or contaminate soil.

We handle retaining wall removal when walls are leaning, cracked, or blocking planned construction, and we can demolish small outbuildings, sheds, or deteriorated structures. Demolition projects often include grading work to smooth out the site and prepare it for new footings, driveways, or septic system installation. We coordinate timing with other contractors when demolition is part of a larger project, ensuring the site is ready on schedule.

Things people ask before starting demolition

Homeowners and contractors often want to know how long demolition takes, what happens to the debris, and whether permits are required. These details help you plan the project and understand what's involved.

How long does a typical demolition project take?
Most residential demolition projects take between one and three days, depending on the size and type of structure or material being removed. Large concrete slabs or multiple structures may take longer.
What do you do with the debris after demolition in Fayetteville?
We load all debris onto trucks and haul it to an approved disposal or recycling facility. Concrete is often crushed and recycled, while septic tanks and other materials are disposed of according to local regulations.
What types of structures and materials can you demolish?
We handle concrete slabs, driveways, walkways, retaining walls, septic tanks, small outbuildings, sheds, and other residential or light commercial structures. We do not demolish full homes or large commercial buildings.
Why is septic tank removal necessary when replacing a system?
Leaving an old tank in place can create a collapse hazard and contaminate soil if it still holds wastewater. Removing it ensures the site is safe and ready for the new system.
Do I need a permit for demolition work in Fayetteville?
Permit requirements depend on the type and size of the structure being demolished. We can advise you on local regulations and help coordinate permits if needed.
