There's no honest flat price on a teardown — what it runs in Decatur comes down to size and construction, whether the foundation or slab comes out, asbestos on the older buildings, how tight the access is, and how far the debris has to haul. We read all of that at a free on-site walk and hand you a straight number.

Searching for a demolition contractor in Decatur, IL? Brohez Trucking handles teardowns across Decatur and Macon County — vacant houses, detached garages, old commercial buildings, barns, and grain bins on the farm ground surrounding the city. We bring the Komatsu excavator, the D6N dozer, and our own tandem dump trucks, so the demolition and the debris haul are one contractor and one number.
City lots get handled differently than farm ground: utility disconnects verified first, neighbors' property protected, and the lot left graded and drainable instead of rutted. Details on house demolition, barn demolition, and grain bin removal, or see all demolition services. Free on-site estimate at (217) 809-0779.
Macon County farm ground is flat, heavy, and tiled to the fence rows — which means drain tile repair is a maintenance reality out here, not an occasional problem. Around Lake Decatur and along the Sangamon the picture changes: bottom ground and lake-influenced ground have outlets that sit low, silt in, and back a whole system up from the far end.
What we get called on around Decatur: field mains that have collapsed with age, plastic crushed by traffic in equipment lanes, and blown or buried outlets — that last one is the most common single failure we see anywhere, and it takes an entire system out from one point. In the older neighborhoods in town, it's yard tile and footing drains that have plugged with roots or lost grade.
We do repair and targeted lines only — one main to a wet spot, shot to grade, tied to a real outlet — not fresh pattern tile across a field. Read how the work goes on drain tile & field tile repair, or see drainage in Decatur. Call (217) 809-0779 for a free on-site look.
Decatur pond work splits by where you are. North and west toward the Sangamon the ground breaks into real valley relief — draws to dam, clay to build with, and depth you can reach without hauling half the county away. Out east and south it flattens into farm ground, and a pond there is a cut basin with a built bank. What ties Macon County together is silt. This is the watershed that filled Lake Decatur, and the same row-crop runoff that did it will fill a new farm pond's inlet end in a decade if you let it. So we build a sediment forebay at the inlet, shape a vegetated buffer on the upstream bank, and put the depth where the water actually stays clean.
Every Decatur pond we build is clay-lined and runoff-fed, with a keyed dam and a spillway sized to the watershed above it. See what drives the cost of a pond before you budget one, or farm pond repair if an existing dam is seeping, sliding, or has lost its overflow.
Decatur has options. Bigger contractors. Out-of-area outfits that drive in from Springfield or Champaign. We're not the biggest. We're the one that picks up the phone, shows up when we say we will, and gives you a straight price the first time.

Real jobs from across central Illinois.
Decatur is the seat of Macon County and the biggest city we regularly work in — about 76,000 people, home to Millikin University and wrapped around Lake Decatur, plus all the smaller communities ringed around it. We come up Route 121 from Mattoon for most jobs, occasionally I-72 if we're heading to the north or west side. The lake's shoreline subdivisions and the surrounding farm ground keep a steady mix of drainage, pond, and site work on the board. The trip's about 36 miles and an hour or less depending on equipment.
Sub-areas we cover too: Forsyth, Mt. Zion, Argenta, Maroa, Niantic, Warrensburg, Boody, Long Creek, and Harristown. If you're inside Macon County or right on the edge, you're inside our radius.
Common Decatur jobs: rural and farm-lane driveways out toward Argenta and Niantic, foundation digs and basement excavation in Mt. Zion and Forsyth subdivisions, pond cleanout and restoration on the rural acreages, drainage tile work where Macon County's clay holds water, and the occasional commercial demo or grading job inside Decatur city limits. The clay around here doesn't drain on its own — most of our drainage and pad-prep work involves planning for that.
No travel surcharge. Decatur jobs price the same as Mattoon jobs. The drive is part of our normal service area, not a premium add-on.
All of Macon County and the bordering pieces. Specifically: Forsyth, Mt. Zion, Argenta, Maroa, Niantic, Warrensburg, Boody, Long Creek, Harristown, and the rural areas in between. If you're inside Macon County or right on the edge, call and we'll come look.
