Demolition Around Collinsville
A falling-down garage or a rotted shed is more than an eyesore. It draws pests, it can be a hazard to kids and it sits on ground you could be using. Old slabs and cracked concrete drives are the same story. Most people put the job off because it seems like three jobs: someone to knock it down, someone to haul it, someone to fix the yard.
We do all three. The structure comes down with the right machine for the space. Debris goes straight into the truck. Foundations and slabs are broken out and loaded too. Then the ground is graded back so you are not left with a hole full of rubble.
When we leave, the spot is clean and level. It is ready for grass, a new building, a new drive or whatever comes next.
Our demolition and debris removal page explains how we work. Send Jon a photo of the structure and the way in, and he will give you a free quote himself.

Demolition in Collinsville: What to Know
Demolition and debris removal on Collinsville lots
Collinsville has a wide spread of property. Near Uptown and on other older streets, a detached garage can sit close to the alley and the neighbors. Farther out, there is more room and the structures are bigger: barns, machine sheds and old outbuildings on acreage. Two corners of the city even reach south into St. Clair County.
Tight lots get a smaller machine and a careful plan for where the truck sits. Open lots let us work faster with bigger equipment. Either way, a photo of the structure and the access tells us which way to go before anyone arrives.
Concrete and slab removal
Old concrete often outlasts the building on it. A garage comes down and the slab stays, or an old drive is cracked and heaved past saving. We break it out, load it and haul it off. That is often the first step before something new goes in the same place.
If the ground under the slab is soft, we can dig it out and bring in fill or rock so the next build sits on firm ground. Our trucks do the hauling and material delivery as part of the same job.
The city, permits and buried lines
The City of Collinsville Community Development department, at City Hall on South Center Street, handles building permits. Its forms list both minor and major grading permits, and a right-of-way permit for work near the street. Ask that department what your tear-down needs before the work is booked.
Have gas, electric and water to the structure shut off and disconnected by the utility first. Point out any septic tank, well or buried line. JULIE gets called before digging so the lines are marked. Our Collinsville excavating page lists the other work we take on in town.

What kinds of structures do you demolish in Collinsville?
Sheds, detached garages, old barns, foundations and slabs. We also break out old concrete drives, pads and footings.
Do I need a permit to tear down a garage in Collinsville?
Ask the Community Development department at City Hall before the work is booked. They handle building and grading permits for the city and can tell you what your job needs.
What happens to the debris?
It is loaded onto our truck as it comes down and hauled away. You do not need to rent a dumpster or find a second company.
How much does it cost to demolish a shed or garage?
It depends on the size, what it is built from, whether there is a slab, how easy it is to reach and how much hauling there is. Jon gives a free quote from photos or a visit.
Can you get a machine into a small backyard?
Often, yes. A skid steer fits through narrower openings than an excavator. Tell us the gate width and what is in the way.

Excavator, dozer, skid steer or the truck — whatever the job actually needs, with an operator who has run it before.
