Homeowners
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free for demolition and excavating work. Call or text a photo of the job with the address, and we'll set a time to come look.
Can you take down just part of a building?
Yes. We do partial or total tear downs, so an addition, a porch or a collapsed section can come off while the rest of the house stays. Tell us what's staying and we'll plan around it.
Do you remove pools, sheds and garages?
Yes. Houses, sheds, garages and pools are all on our demolition list. If there's a concrete slab or a block foundation left behind, that's on the list too.
Can you remove a mobile home or trailer?
Yes, mobile homes and trailers are something we take down regularly. Send a photo, the size and the address, and let us know whether it still has utilities hooked up.
Do you install or remove septic systems?
Both. We dig for septic and sewage systems, new installs and removals of old ones. Call with the address and we can talk through what your property needs.
Can you dig a water or sewer tap-in?
Yes. Utility lines and drains, including tap-ins to public water and sewer, are part of our excavating work. It helps to know where the line runs from the house to the street.
Do I have to call 811 before you dig?
Pennsylvania law requires a PA One Call (811) request at least three business days before any digging, so underground lines get marked first. Ask us when you call and we'll tell you how it's handled on your job.
Do I need a permit to tear something down?
Most Pennsylvania townships and boroughs require a demolition permit, and utilities usually have to be shut off before a building comes down. Ask about your municipality when we come out for the estimate.
Builders and contractors
Do you do site prep and grading?
Yes. Site work and prep, rough and finish grading, and compaction are the core of our excavating side, so your lot is ready for the next trade.
Can you dig foundations and driveways?
Yes, both. Send the site plan or a sketch and the address, and we'll give you a free estimate.
Do you clear land?
Yes. Land clearing is on our excavating list, and it pairs with grading when the lot is headed for a building or a drive.
Can one company do the demolition and the excavating?
That's how we work. The same company that takes the old structure down can grade the site, dig the foundation and run the utility lines, which means one schedule and one phone number for the whole job.
Commercial and property owners
Do you take on commercial demolition?
Yes. We remove residential and commercial structures, partial or total.
Can you gut an interior and leave the shell?
Yes. Interior extractions and gut outs are on our demolition list for homes and commercial buildings.
Do you remove concrete, block, brick and stone?
Yes, all four. Slabs, walls, old foundations and stone work can come out on their own or as part of a bigger tear down.
