By Leslie Ball


A situation will arise where a company or individual will require having certain structures demolished. It could be a house, garage, commercial building or a section of these. This may apparently appear as a straight forward piece of work to undertake. However, the reverse is true. Such is its complexity that there is a proliferation of specialist companies giving demolition services Los Angeles in particular.

Complete demolition of driveways, sidewalks, a slab or a patio is the only option with certain observations. Multiple wide and deep cracks settling on one side mean patching will not work. Part of the concrete has been pushed up because of frost during cold weather. Concrete has sunken or settled meaning the sub-grade was not initially properly prepared. Sunken concrete may also be due to heavy loads or equipment was placed on it. Any of these occurrences require expert demolition services to prepare the respective sites for repairs.

That process has to be carried out without damaging any other surrounding structure. It must be done without causing danger to residents, personnel or pets. The contractor may also be required to render the site ready for further development.

Specialist tools and equipment are required when demolition contractors perform their duties. Most common is a bobcat that has a pneumatic or hydraulic breaker attached. Another common one is a roll off dumpster. For large structures, a power ball comes into use. Dynamite is also used where a particular structure is quite strong. Once the structure comes down, the bobcat loads the debris onto the dumpster which hauls it away to recyclers or landfills.

Special equipment and special techniques will go together. Tall or big buildings require demolition techniques that protect neighboring buildings and properties. Unique rigging is erected to confine falling debris to secure areas. These techniques are then used in the collection, hauling and site clearing, cleaning up or filling in.
