Sullivan sits at the north end of Lake Shelbyville, and Moultrie County ground builds good ponds — clay to work with and draws worth damming. Pond construction cost comes down to depth, dam, and haul, and we'll walk it before we number it. Bigger watershed? That may be lake construction. Seeping dam or failed overflow? That's pond dam & spillway repair.
In Sullivan, that demolition includes barn demolition, grain bin removal, garage & shed teardown, and concrete & foundation removal — torn down, hauled off, and the site graded clean. See all demolition services. Out on the farmsteads and commercial lots around Sullivan that also means silo removal, pole barn demolition, underground tank removal, inground pool removal & pool fill-in, and commercial demolition, farm building demolition, shed removal, interior demolition, storm & fire damage demolition and estate & barn cleanouts — same crew, same trucks, same free on-site walk.

There's no honest flat price on a teardown — what it runs in Sullivan 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.

Looking for a demolition contractor in Sullivan, IL? Brohez Trucking covers Sullivan and Moultrie County — the north side of Lake Shelbyville. Barns, machine sheds, grain bins, garages, mobile homes, and houses come down on working farms, in town, and on the lake-area recreation properties.
Lake lots and cabin properties are often narrow, sloped, and treed, so access planning is half the job — we walk it before we ever put a number on it. See barn demolition, grain bin removal, house demolition, or the full demolition services list. Call (217) 809-0779 for a free on-site estimate.
Moultrie County ground changes as you move toward Lake Shelbyville — prairie clay back from the water, sandier soil close to shore — and tile behaves differently in each. Clay holds water and needs the line to be right; sand moves water fine on its own but will migrate into an open joint and pack a run solid.
So the failure we find near the lake often isn't a broken pipe, it's a pipe full of soil that got in through a joint or a crushed section. Back on the farm ground it's the ordinary list: collapsed clay mains, crushed laterals in the low spots, outlets lost to ditch maintenance. We locate it, open the ground at the failure, and splice or replace rather than guess.

Sullivan is the seat of Moultrie County and the gateway to Lake Shelbyville's east side — about 4,400 people. We run IL-32 west out of Mattoon for most jobs. The drive's about 25 miles, 35-40 minutes.
Sub-areas we cover too: Bethany, Lovington, Allenville, Gays, Findlay (across the lake), and the rural pieces of Moultrie County. Plenty of our Sullivan work also pulls us out around Lake Shelbyville for shoreline and lake-property jobs.
Common Sullivan jobs: Lake-property pond cleanouts and restoration, rural driveway and farm-lane work, ag drainage tile in the low spots, foundation digs for new lake homes and weekenders, and the occasional retaining wall or shoreline cleanup. Around the lake, the ground transitions from prairie clay to sandier soil close to shore — both have their own drainage quirks, and we plan around it. Sandier ground near the lake migrates into an open joint and packs a pipe solid — that's a culvert replacement, and the void beside it matters as much as the pipe.
No travel surcharge. Sullivan jobs price the same as Mattoon jobs. The drive is part of our normal service area, not a premium add-on.
