Old farm buildings, cellars and slabs make up most demolition around Cheyenne. We take them down, fill the holes in compacted layers and leave the ground graded and covered.
Demolition work around Cheyenne is often old outbuildings, sheds, barns, garages, mobile home pads, slabs and foundations left from earlier homes. In town, a demolition needs a permit from the city, and in the county, from Laramie County. Utilities must be shut off and capped first, and the gas, electric and water providers each have their own process for that, so we plan the schedule around them.
Older buildings in Cheyenne may contain asbestos in siding, roofing or flooring, and that must be checked and removed by a qualified abatement company before demolition. Once the structure is clear, we pull it down, sort metal and clean concrete for recycling where possible and haul the rest to the landfill. On rural sites we also remove old cisterns, cellars and fuel tank pads.
After the building comes down, the hole matters most. Old basements and cellars are broken out or punched as required, then filled with clean material and compacted in layers so the ground does not sink later. The finished surface is graded to drain and seeded or covered, so the wind does not strip the loose soil. We also pull any old septic tank on the site when the plan calls for it.
Demolition in Cheyenne: common questions
Do I need a permit to tear down a barn or shed?
Larger buildings usually need a demolition permit from the city or Laramie County. Small sheds may not, and the local office decides for your address.
Can you remove an old cellar or cistern?
Yes. We break it out or fill it as required and compact the fill so the ground stays level.
Where does the demolition debris go?
Metal and clean concrete go to recycling when possible, and the rest goes to a permitted landfill.
