Storm & Tornado Cleanup Services — Demolition, Debris Removal & Excavation
When a storm or tornado tears through a neighborhood, the cleanup can feel overwhelming — downed trees, damaged garages and outbuildings, torn-up driveways, and drainage problems that show up long after the wind dies down. 715 Excavating & Demolition provides fast, reliable storm cleanup services for homeowners and businesses, from initial debris removal to full site restoration.
When Storm Damage Calls for More Than a Chainsaw
After a major storm, most properties need more than yard cleanup. Common calls we get include:
- Downed and uprooted trees blocking driveways, yards, or structures
- Garages, sheds, and outbuildings damaged beyond repair
- Roofs, walls, or foundations compromised by fallen trees or debris
- Driveways and access roads torn up by fallen limbs or heavy equipment
- Damaged culverts, drainage lines, or standing water after the storm passes
- Large volumes of debris that need to be hauled and disposed of properly
Whatever the damage, our crew shows up with the right equipment to assess the site, remove what’s damaged, and get the property ready for rebuilding.

Our Response to the Fox Valley Tornado
On July 27, 2026, an EF-3 tornado touched down around 1 p.m. and stayed on the ground for more than 20 minutes, cutting a roughly 12-mile path through Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah, according to the National Weather Service. It was one of only three EF-3 tornadoes recorded in Wisconsin in 2026.
Even though 715 Excavating & Demolition is based in Eau Claire, we made the trip to the Fox Valley to help. “We had a tornado devastate a decent-sized area within three hours of our hometown, and we knew we needed to get over there,” said owner Dominic Berlin. Our team spent time on the ground in the Menasha area handing out water, snacks, and tarps to residents whose utilities were shut off — and we’re continuing to offer our excavation and demolition services to homeowners and businesses working through the cleanup.
If your property was affected by a storm or tornado anywhere in Wisconsin, reach out — we can travel to help with debris removal, demolition, and excavation, even outside our normal service area.

“I had 715 Excavating to do some forestry mulching to clear a portion of my land. They did amazing work, the undergrowth is gone and the new area looks like a park. 715 was efficient, showed up on time and listened to exactly what I wanted.”
