Once It's Gone,
It's Gone Forever.
In Los Angeles, "cheap" demolition often leads to AQMD fines, damaged neighbor property, and hit gas lines. We bridge the gap between a reckless wrecking ball and a surgical, insured site clearance.
The Reckless Approach
Neighbor Disputes
Uncontrolled dust clouds and heavy vibration can crack your neighbor's driveway or coat their pool in debris. You are liable for the clean-up costs.
Hit Gas & Water Lines
Failing to properly cap sewer lines or locate gas mains before digging results in emergency shut-offs and massive city fines.
AQMD Asbestos Fines
Demolishing without a Rule 1403 Asbestos Survey is illegal in LA. Getting caught mid-project leads to immediate work-stop orders and huge penalties.
Surgical & Safe
Active Dust Suppression
We use continuous water spraying during demolition to trap dust particles instantly. We install mesh fencing to keep debris contained on your lot.
Certified Compaction
For pool removals, we don't just dump dirt in the hole. We layer and compact the soil to 90% density so you can safely build on top of it later.
Full Liability Protection
We are fully bonded and insured for demolition. We handle all utility disconnects and sewer capping permits, protecting you from legal liability.

Santa MonicaCommon Questions
Answers about asbestos surveys, LADBS permits, recycling requirements, and project timelines.
How long does a demolition project take?
Once permits are approved, the actual demolition is fast. A standard pool removal takes 3-5 days. A full house teardown takes about 1 week, including debris haul-away and site grading. The longest part is often waiting for utility disconnects.
Do I need a permit to demolish my garage or pool?
Yes. The City of Los Angeles requires a demolition permit for almost any structural removal. This includes notifying AQMD (Air Quality Management District) about asbestos. We handle all paperwork and inspections for you.
What if my house has asbestos or lead paint?
Before any demolition, we conduct a required Rule 1403 Asbestos Survey. If hazardous materials are found, we coordinate with certified abatement specialists to remove them safely before structural demolition begins.
What happens to the debris? Do you recycle?
We strictly follow CalGreen recycling mandates. We separate concrete, metal, and wood on-site or at the dump facility to ensure at least 65% of the debris is diverted from landfills. We provide you with the recycling receipts.
