Demolition and Concrete Tear-Out in Tulsa, OK

Concrete tear out in Tulsa

Most demolition calls around Tulsa are concrete: a driveway that has cracked and heaved, a patio that has sunk toward the house, an old slab where a shed or carport used to stand, a sidewalk that trips people, or footings left over from something long gone.

The concrete gets broken out, rebar and all, loaded and hauled off as part of the same quote. If something new is going back in its place, the ground underneath gets cut back to grade so the next pour, the gravel or the sod has a sound base to sit on. See driveway installation and repair if the old drive is being replaced with gravel. There is more detail on the concrete removal and tear-out page.

Sheds, garages, barns and small structures

Outbuildings are the other half of the work: detached garages, sheds, barns, carports, mobile homes and other small structures taken down, loaded out and cleared off so the spot can be used again.

Before anything comes down, the power, gas and water to it need to be shut off and disconnected by the utility, and Oklahoma law requires a call to OKIE811 before digging so buried lines get marked. Many cities, Tulsa included, also want a permit before a building is demolished, so check with your city before a date is set. Anything that needs abatement or a permitted demolition contractor gets flagged before the job starts, not halfway through it.

There is more detail on the shed, garage and barn demolition page.

Demolition and excavation, one call

A tear-out is usually the first step in something else: a new shop pad, a wider drive, a yard that finally drains, a building site. Because the same operator handles the dirt work, the ground does not get left as an open hole waiting on a second contractor.

After the demolition the site can go straight into excavation and backhoe work, drainage or land clearing for whatever is coming next.

What to have ready when you call

Where the property is, what is coming down (a slab, a shed, a garage, a foundation), roughly how big it is, and what you want the ground to be afterwards. That is enough for Justin to tell you whether it is a fit and set up a look at it. Call (918) 240-3392 or use the form on this page.
