Residential Demolition in Eau Claire, WI
Complete teardown of houses, garages, sheds, mobile homes, and outbuildings
Residential demolition is rarely simple. Structures tie into utilities, sit close to neighboring properties, and often hide unknown conditions below grade. If demolition is rushed or poorly planned, it can damage nearby foundations, leave unsafe debris behind, or create grading and drainage problems that affect whatever comes next.
Serving West Central Wisconsin, 715 Excavating provides residential demolition services in Eau Claire, WI, and surrounding communities. We remove houses, garages, sheds, mobile homes, and outbuildings with controlled methods, full material handling, and site cleanup so the property is ready for rebuilding, sale, or redevelopment.
Why Homeowners Choose 715 Excavating
Controlled Demolition Methods
Structures are removed in stages to limit damage, reduce ground disturbance, and protect surrounding property.
Full Material Handling Included
We manage debris removal, hauling, and disposal so nothing is left buried or scattered on site.
Foundation and Surface Correction
Slabs, footings, and unsuitable material are removed so grading and rebuilding start on clean ground.
Build-Ready Finishes
When demolition is complete, the site is shaped and stable for construction, access, or landscaping.
When Residential Demolition Becomes the Right Decision
Residential demolition is usually chosen when repair, remodeling, or partial removal no longer makes sense.
Common reasons include:
- Structural age or damage that limits renovation options
- Layouts that no longer meet access or zoning requirements
- Grade or drainage conflicts caused by existing structures
- Redevelopment plans that require full site clearance
- Foundation conditions that prevent safe reuse
Proper demolition removes constraints before they affect new construction, grading, drainage, or access.
Residential Demolition Services We Provide
House Demolition
Full removal of residential structures requires careful planning around utilities, neighboring properties, and foundation conditions. We dismantle and remove entire homes while protecting surrounding structures and preparing the site for what follows.
This service includes:
- Utility locate coordination and pre-demolition planning
- Full structure teardown
- Foundation and slab removal as needed
- Debris hauling and disposal
- Rough grading after removal
House demolition is often followed by excavation, grading, or foundation work to prepare for new construction.
Garage Demolition
Detached and attached garages often sit on aging slabs or shallow foundations that create grading and drainage issues once removed. We remove garages cleanly and prepare the area for new access, driveways, or building pads.
This service includes:
- Structure removal
- Concrete slab and footing removal
- Debris hauling
- Base correction and surface shaping
Garage demolition is commonly paired with driveway, access, or building pad preparation.
Shed and Outbuilding Removal
Small structures still require controlled demolition to prevent ground disturbance and buried debris that interferes with future use. We remove sheds and accessory buildings completely and restore the surface for landscaping or new construction.
This service includes:
- Structure dismantling or machine removal
- Pier and block foundation removal
- Root and debris cleanup
- Surface grading and leveling
This work is often performed as part of property cleanup or redevelopment projects.
Mobile Home Demolition and Removal
Mobile homes require specialized handling due to framing methods, anchoring systems, and disposal regulations. We remove mobile homes safely and clear the site for resale, rebuilding, or site improvement.
This service includes:
- Anchoring and tie-down removal
- Structure dismantling or sectioning
- Hauling and disposal coordination
- Pad cleanup and grading
Mobile home removal frequently includes utility trench cleanup and access regrading.
Outbuilding and Farm Structure Demolition
Older barns, shops, and utility buildings often contain heavy framing, mixed materials, and shallow foundations that require controlled removal. We dismantle and clear these structures while preparing the land for new use.
This service includes:
- Partial or full structure demolition
- Concrete and footing removal
- Debris separation and hauling
- Site grading and access restoration
These projects are commonly tied to agricultural excavation or land clearing work.
Why Demolition Planning Matters on Commercial Sites
Commercial sites carry tight tolerances and sequencing requirements. Foundations tie into drainage. Grades affect paving. Access must remain open for trades and inspectors.
Unplanned demolition can lead to:
- Elevation conflicts during excavation
- Drainage problems after removal
- Restricted access for utilities and concrete crews
- Delays between construction phases
We remove structures with the next phase in mind, not just the current one.
Our Residential Demolition Process
Site Review and Utility Coordination
We review access, structure layout, foundation type, and surrounding conditions. Utility disconnects and locates are coordinated before work begins.
Controlled Structure Removal
Structures are dismantled or machine-removed in planned stages to limit ground disturbance, protect nearby buildings, and manage debris safely.
Cleanup and Surface Preparation
Debris is hauled away, foundations removed as needed, and surfaces shaped so the site is stable and ready for the next phase.
