Residential Demolition in Columbus, GA

What Residential Demolition Really Means

Residential demolition is more than tearing down a structure — it’s about responsible removal and smart preparation. Every project begins with a custom plan tailored to your home’s design, materials, and surroundings. From detached garages to multi-story homes, we approach each property with a precise method that protects nearby buildings, utilities, and landscaping.

Safe, Licensed, and Fully Insured

You should never trust an unlicensed crew with your property. Wells Contracting Inc. is fully licensed and insured, giving homeowners peace of mind knowing their project is protected from start to finish. Our insurance coverage and OSHA-compliant safety standards mean you can rest easy while we handle every stage of demolition — from permitting to debris removal.

Full House and Structure Removal

Our residential demolition services cover every type of home or structure. Whether your property has fire damage, structural issues, or you’re simply rebuilding from scratch, we can remove it safely and efficiently. We take care of foundations, driveways, slabs, sheds, and mobile homes, ensuring the entire site is cleared, leveled, and ready for your next step.

Pool Removal and Backfilling Experts

If you have an old or unused swimming pool, our team specializes in complete pool removal and professional backfilling. We don’t just drain and cover it — we remove the shell, haul away debris, and backfill with compacted soil to ensure stability and proper drainage. This process restores your yard’s usable space while eliminating maintenance costs and safety concerns.

Environmentally Responsible Demolition

We take pride in doing demolition the right way. That means responsibly recycling materials like concrete, steel, and wood — and disposing of waste in compliance with all EPA and Georgia EPD regulations. Our goal is to minimize environmental impact while helping homeowners save on disposal fees and maintain cleaner, safer neighborhoods.

Permitting and Local Regulations Made Easy

Dealing with city permits and local regulations can feel overwhelming — but with Wells Contracting, it’s effortless. Our team handles all demolition permits, inspections, and local compliance for you. We coordinate directly with Columbus city officials and utility providers to ensure everything is legally approved before work begins. With 40+ years in the area, we know exactly what’s required to keep your project running smoothly and without delay.

Pre-Demolition Site Preparation

Every safe demolition starts with a well-planned setup. Before equipment rolls in, we handle utility disconnections, debris containment, and perimeter safety fencing. This ensures the site is fully secured and that the demolition area is isolated from surrounding structures. Whether it’s an urban lot or a large rural property, our prep work prevents damage, controls debris, and creates a clean workflow from day one.

Safety Is Our Highest Priority

Safety is the foundation of every residential demolition we perform. Our crews follow strict OSHA-certified standards, conduct daily safety meetings, and use top-of-the-line protective gear. We perform comprehensive hazard checks before each job — identifying potential risks like unstable foundations, buried utilities, or asbestos materials — so every demolition is completed without compromise to your property or our people.

Advanced Dust and Noise Control Systems

Demolition shouldn’t disrupt your neighborhood. That’s why we use water suppression systems, debris netting, and sound-reduction equipment to minimize dust and noise during the process. Our dust-control methods help maintain air quality and visibility, while noise-mitigation techniques ensure compliance with local Columbus noise ordinances. You’ll barely notice we’re there — until you see the site completely transformed.

Constant Communication and Project Transparency

We believe clear communication creates confident clients. From your first call to final cleanup, you’ll have direct access to our management team for updates, progress reports, and scheduling details. Whether you prefer phone, text, or email, we keep you informed every step of the way. No unanswered questions, no hidden fees — just transparent, reliable service you can trust.

Complete Debris Removal & Hauling

Once the structure is down, we take care of everything else. Our team provides full debris removal and hauling services, ensuring your property is left spotless and ready for the next phase. We sort, load, and transport all materials — including concrete, steel, wood, and roofing — to approved recycling and disposal facilities. You won’t have to lift a finger or worry about lingering debris; we handle it all safely and efficiently.

Land Restoration

After demolition, proper grading is essential to ensure safe drainage and stable ground for future use. Wells Contracting Inc. offers precise land leveling and grading to restore your property to a smooth, even surface. Whether you’re rebuilding, adding landscaping, or preparing to sell, we leave your site in perfect condition — compacted, leveled, and ready for whatever comes next.

Preparing for Your Next Build

Demolition is only the beginning of your project’s transformation. Our experts work with homeowners, builders, and developers to prepare the property for new construction. From soil compaction and erosion control to future utility placement, we ensure your site is properly set for a strong foundation. When you work with Wells Contracting Inc., you’re not just removing the old — you’re building a path to something new.
