Demolition Services in Central Illinois

Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. No surprises, no runaround.

When something needs to come down, you don't want surprises. You want it down, hauled off, and the site cleaned up — without dragging on for weeks or running the bill up sideways.

Brohez Trucking LLC handles demolition across central Illinois — old barns, garages, sheds, mobile homes, foundations, in-ground pools, and partial structure removals. Residential, agricultural, and commercial.

The Komatsu PC150LC handles the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into the tight spots and clean up after. Dump trucks haul the debris straight to a proper disposal site. Tear-down to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.

We're straight about what's in the structure before we start. If we see signs of asbestos, lead paint, or other hazards, we'll tell you and recommend the right next step. No corner-cutting on the things that matter.

Older Buildings & Asbestos — The Plain-English Version

Structures built before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, shingles, floor tile, or pipe wrap. It's common and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.

When a building's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Our Demolition Process

Every tear-down is different. The basics don't change.

STEP 01

Site Walk & Estimate

We come look at the structure, talk through what's coming down, check for hazards, and give you a straight number. No pressure.

STEP 02

Permits & Locates

We help figure out what permits are needed, call utility locates, and arrange disconnects of any active services to the structure.

STEP 03

Salvage (If Wanted)

If there's old barn wood, metal roofing, or fixtures you want to keep, we pull them carefully before the main demo starts.

STEP 04

Tear-Down

The Komatsu does the heavy work. We work the structure down in a controlled sequence — no surprises, no dropping things on what's nearby.

STEP 05

Foundation & Debris

We break out the foundation if it's part of the job, separate metals when possible, and load debris onto dump trucks for proper disposal.

STEP 06

Backfill & Grade

We backfill the hole, grade the site flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready for whatever comes next.

Structures We Take Down

If it's standing and shouldn't be, we can probably help.

Barn & Outbuilding

Old barns, sheds, corn cribs, machine sheds, and farm outbuildings — torn down and hauled off, foundation included if needed.

Garage Demolition

Detached garages, carports, and pole barns — broken down and removed cleanly, even when they're attached or in tight spaces.

Foundation Removal

Old slabs, basements, and footings broken out, hauled, and backfilled. Common after a fire or a previous demo that left the foundation behind.

Mobile Home Removal

Old single-wides and double-wides demolished and hauled off, including the pad and any tie-downs.

Grain Bin & Silo Removal

Old grain bins and silos taken down and hauled off, footings and concrete pad broken out and graded back.

Pole Barn Demolition

Old pole barns broken down post by post, posts pulled below grade, tin and lumber separated and hauled.

Pool Removal

In-ground pool demolition and fill — concrete or vinyl, partial or full removal, with the site graded to match the yard.

Fire & Storm Damage

Cleanup of fire-damaged structures and storm debris, including separating metal and hauling away unsalvageable material.

Partial & Interior Demolition

Removing additions, lean-tos, chimneys, or sections of a larger structure without disturbing the rest. Surgical work.

Site Clearing

Lot-wide demolition for redevelopment — multiple structures, foundations, and concrete cleared in one mobilization.

House Demolition

Old farmhouses and homes torn down for a rebuild or cleared off the property — foundation and basement out, debris hauled, site graded.

Farm Building Demolition

Corn cribs, hog barns, machine sheds, and whole farmstead cleanups — taken down and hauled off, ground left ready to farm or build.

Shed, Deck & Fence Removal

Smaller jobs done quick with the skid steer — sheds, decks, old fence rows, and the slab underneath if you want it gone.

Commercial Demolition

Small-town storefronts, old gas stations, shops, and light commercial buildings — right-sized teardown work, not downtown high-rises.

Tank Removal

Septic, heating-oil, and farm fuel tanks dug out and hauled — and we bring in a licensed party if a tank shows contamination.

Demolition FAQs

How much does demolition cost?

It depends on size, materials, hazardous content like asbestos, debris disposal, and access. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.

Do I need a permit?

Usually yes inside city limits, often no for rural and farm structures. We'll tell you what's required and help you handle it.

What about asbestos or hazardous materials?

Older structures can have asbestos, lead paint, or other hazards. We recommend a pre-demo inspection if there's any doubt and proper abatement before tear-down. We're straight about what we find.

Do you haul off the debris?

Yes. Cleanup is part of the job — debris hauled, foundation removed if needed, site graded smooth.

Can you remove just a foundation?

Yes. Foundation-only removal is common when the structure is gone but the slab or basement remains. We break it out, haul it, and backfill or grade.

Can you save salvageable materials?

Sometimes — old barn wood and metal roofing can have value. Tell us at the estimate and we'll plan the demo to preserve what we can.

How long does demolition take?

A small shed or garage is usually a day. A big barn or full house with foundation removal is several days. We give a realistic timeline at the estimate.
