Demolition in Broxton, GA

Demolition · Broxton, GA

Old buildings torn down and the site cleaned up

Maybe you bought land with an old house on it, or a barn on the place is falling in. Demolition takes it down so you can use the ground again. Southern Grind Solutions tears down old houses, mobile homes, barns, sheds and outbuildings around Broxton and Coffee County. We work on rural lots and in town, and we clean the debris up from the site.

If a new house or a mobile home will go on the lot, demolition is step one. The cleared ground then moves into site preparation for the new build. Where no sewer line reaches the lot, we also handle septic tank installation for the new home.

How our demolition services work

Demolition starts with a look at the building and the ground around it. We note what the building is made of and how a machine will reach it. Then we put the quote in writing.

Before any machine work, the building gets the asbestos inspection the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) calls for. The utility companies shut off service first. Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging.

After that, we tear the building down with an excavator and clean up what is left. That leaves open ground for whatever comes next. If brush has grown up around the old place, land clearing opens the rest of the lot.

Demolition permits in Coffee County and Douglas

Coffee County's land development code requires a building permit before any building or structure is torn down. Farm accessory buildings are exempt. Ask Coffee County Code Enforcement how that rule fits a barn or shed on your land.

The City of Douglas has its own demolition permit, and every structure needs one. Two buildings on one lot take two permits. In the Gaskin Avenue Historic District, demolition also needs the historic preservation commission's approval.

The Douglas form also puts the Georgia 811 call and the utility shutoffs on the owner. Other towns and counties set their own rules. The county building and zoning office or city hall answers the permit question, and we point you there.

Does an old house need an asbestos inspection before demolition?

Georgia EPD says yes: demolition projects need an asbestos inspection first. A trained asbestos inspector takes samples and gives you a written report with the lab results. EPD advises asking an inspector for proof of current training. The report tells you and your demolition contractor where the asbestos is.

EPD's list of asbestos materials includes vinyl floor tile, cement siding, pipe insulation and textured ceilings. Products with asbestos are still legal to make, so the rules apply to buildings of any age.

Asbestos that crumbles by hand, or could crumble during the work, has to come out before demolition. Georgia EPD licenses the companies that remove it, and that is a separate trade. EPD also says the inspector should stay separate from the removal company, to avoid a conflict of interest. Once the removal is done, the building can come down.

How We Work

How a Job With Southern Grind Solutions Runs

From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.

1

Call or text

Call or text (912) 381-6261 and tell us about the job. Let us know where the land is and what it needs.

2

We look at the job

We come out to see the lot and what the job takes. On a septic job, that includes where the well and the drain field will sit.

3

The written quote

You get the quote in writing. Once you say yes, we set a start date.

4

The work

Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging, so buried lines get marked first. Then the clearing, the septic dig, the dirt work or the teardown begins.

5

Inspection and cleanup

On a septic job, Georgia's rules keep the system uncovered until the county's final inspection and written approval. Then we backfill and rough grade, and every job ends with the site cleaned up.

FAQ

Demolition Questions, Answered

Common questions about demolition around Broxton and the surrounding counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (912) 381-6261

How much does demolition cost?
The price comes down to the size of the building and how much debris it leaves. Access matters too: a barn at the back of a field takes more work than a shed by the road. Asbestos testing or removal is priced by the company that does it. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Do you tear down old mobile homes?
Yes. We tear down old mobile homes on rural lots and in town, then clean up the debris. If a new home will sit in the same spot, ask about a built-up mobile home pad. The packed, graded fill lets rain drain away from under the new home.
What happens to the debris?
We clean up the debris from the site. Coffee County's code says the county does not collect building materials. It points owners and contractors to the county landfill or transfer station. Waste with asbestos must go to a landfill permitted to take it.
Can I burn an old house or barn instead?
Georgia EPD says it is unlawful to burn man-made materials like shingles and lumber, even in a burn barrel. EPD allows open burning only for 13 listed burn types. A machine takes the building down instead, and the debris gets cleaned up.
Does the state need notice before a house comes down?
Georgia EPD exempts a home with four or fewer units from its demolition notice. That changes when the home is part of a larger project. Several houses at one location, under one owner and set for demolition in the same period, need the notice. EPD's asbestos program answers questions about a specific job.
How far do you travel for demolition work?
We take demolition jobs about 80 miles around Broxton, across Coffee County and the counties around it. Douglas, Waycross, Tifton and Valdosta all sit inside that range. See the full list of towns we serve.
