Demolition in Bixby is mostly about making room. An old barn or shed on farm ground that is turning into a homesite. A slab too small or too broken for the shop going up next. A drive or a patio that has settled on flat ground. Justin takes it out and hauls it off.
Old outbuildings on former farm ground taken down, loaded and removed.
A slab that is cracked, or too small for the next building, broken up and hauled away.
Settled or broken concrete taken out so the ground can be put right.
The hole is filled and the ground shaped so rain runs off it.
Bixby lies on the Arkansas River at the south end of Tulsa County, with part of the town on each bank. For most of its life it was farm country, and new neighbourhoods now run right up to fields that are still worked.
That is where the demolition work comes from. When farm ground is sold for houses, the buildings that came with it are usually in the way: a barn, an implement shed, a carport, a slab with nothing left on it. And in the neighbourhoods already built, there is concrete that has moved and needs to come out.
A barn or a shed that has stood empty for years is rarely worth saving, and it is usually sitting on the best building spot on the property. Justin takes it down, loads it and hauls it off. The slab and the footings underneath can go at the same time, including the part below ground.
Ahead of that, the utility has to disconnect any power, gas or water running to the building. Old farm buildings sometimes still have a live line that nobody remembers, so it is worth checking even when the place looks dead.
A lot of Bixby calls are about shops and barns. Often an old slab already sits where the new one should go, and it is cracked, too thin or simply the wrong size.
The old concrete gets broken up with the steel in it and hauled away. Then a new pad can be cut, filled and compacted for the building, and a gravel drive run out to it. One operator does all three, so they can go on one quote.
Bixby is river bottom ground and it is flat. Rain tends to sit where it lands. Pull a slab out of flat ground and leave the hole, and you have made a pond.
So the last step counts for more here than it would on a hill. The void is filled, and the ground is shaped so water has somewhere to go that is not the house or the new pad. If the yard held water before the concrete came out, see drainage and French drains.
Parts of Bixby are in the mapped floodplain. If your property is, ask the city before bringing in fill or raising the grade.
Buried utilities are located through OKIE811 before any digging, and in Oklahoma that is the law. Cities often want a permit before a building is demolished, so call the City of Bixby before a date is fixed.
This is small structure and concrete work. If a building looks like it needs abatement or a permitted demolition contractor, Justin says so when he comes to look.
Afterwards he fills, grades, cuts pads and builds gravel drives. He does not pour concrete or lay asphalt. If a new slab is going in, the ground is left at grade and firm, ready for the concrete crew.
