Residential and commercial teardowns handled safely, efficiently, and with full debris removal. We clear the site so you can build what's next.
The Service
Demolition is more than swinging a wrecking ball — it requires careful planning, the right equipment, and experienced operators who understand structural systems, utility disconnection, and site safety. Rushing the process creates hazards and expensive cleanup problems.
KD Excavating handles residential teardowns, garage and outbuilding removal, commercial structure demolition, and concrete breaking. We coordinate utility disconnects, pull necessary permits, and haul all debris off-site — leaving you with a clean, ready-to-build lot.
Our Process
Site Assessment
We walk the structure, identify utility connections, assess access for equipment, and confirm scope before pricing anything.
Utility Disconnection
Gas, water, and electrical disconnects are coordinated with the appropriate utility providers before any work begins.
Controlled Teardown
Structures are brought down methodically using excavators and skid steers — safely and without damaging adjacent properties.
Full Debris Removal
All material is loaded and hauled away. The site is left graded, clean, and ready for the next phase of your project.
FAQ
Do I need a demolition permit?
Yes — most demolitions in Ottawa require a permit from the City. We advise you on requirements and coordinate the application as part of our service.
How long does a residential teardown take?
A typical house demolition takes 1–2 days for the teardown itself, plus additional time for debris hauling. We give you a full schedule upfront.
Can you demolish just part of a structure?
Yes — partial demolitions such as garage removal, addition teardowns, and interior strip-outs are a regular part of our work.
