At U.S. Demo and Hauling, we provide quality concrete hauling and concrete demolition services for residential and commercial clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We know that embarking on any demo or hauling project can seem overwhelming, but with our expertise, we ensure a seamless and efficient process from start to finish.
Types Of Concrete Projects We Handle
At U.S. Demo and Hauling, we offer a wide range of demolition and hauling services. For homeowners, we are often called in to provide concrete driveway removal and swimming pool demolition, which may include concrete hauling. Additionally, we can provide you with asphalt driveway removal, if needed.
For both residential and commercial clients, we can provide demolition and hauling services for concrete patios, decks and walkways. We also can provide complete foundation removal for homeowners or any size commercial project.
Of course, if you already have completed your concrete demo, but need debris removal, we can provide you with that service and ensure that anything that can be recycled is sent to a recycling facility.
How Long Does Concrete Hauling & Demo Take?
For most concrete removal and hauling projects, it takes just a day or two to break up the concrete and haul away the debris as our team has mastered efficient concrete removal. Larger projects may require more time, especially if we also are providing you with dirt removal and excavation or grading services. However, we do all we can to complete projects as quickly as possible, without sacrificing quality or safety.
The Legal Aspect Of Concrete Hauling & Demolition
In the SF Bay Area, as in many urban regions, concrete hauling and demolition activities are subject to a variety of local, state, and federal regulations to ensure safety, environmental protection, and compliance with zoning laws.
While specific requirements can vary depending on the exact location within the Bay Area and the scope of the project, here are some general regulations and permits that homeowners, business owners or contractors might need to know about.
Local Building & Demolition Permits
Most cities within the San Francisco Bay Area will require a permit for demolition services, and this often includes the removal of concrete structures. This process typically involves submitting project plans and details about the demolition and hauling methods to be used.
CalRecycle Regulations
In California, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) oversees the recycling of construction and demolition waste, including concrete. Projects may need to comply with regulations regarding the recycling of materials and waste diversion from landfills. Typically, we can recycle the concrete and often any rebar, which is always the best option.
Cal/OSHA Safety Regulations
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) sets safety standards for construction and demolition work, including concrete hauling. Compliance with these standards is required to protect workers from hazards associated with demolition activities.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations
Projects that involve the disturbance of lead paint or asbestos during demolition require compliance with EPA regulations. Proper procedures for handling, removal, and disposal of hazardous materials must be followed. Typically, with concrete hauling this is less likely to be an issue, but it certainly could come into play if we are providing a service such as slab removal in a home or office building.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)
For larger projects, a SWPPP may be required to prevent runoff from the site from contaminating local waterways. This involves implementing measures to control sediment and erosion during demolition and hauling activities. Again, this is typically only an issue for larger commercial projects.
Transportation and Disposal Permits
Hauling vehicles may need to be registered and comply with the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Additionally, concrete waste must be disposed of at authorized facilities, and some jurisdictions may require permits or documentation for the disposal of large amounts of construction debris.
Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Regulations
In areas with air quality management districts, such as the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), there may be additional requirements to control dust and emissions from demolition and hauling operations. With any type of demolition project, our goal is always to limit our impact on the local environment as much as possible.
Before starting a concrete demolition and hauling project in the SF Bay Area, it’s crucial to consult with local city or county building departments and relevant regulatory agencies to ensure all necessary permits are obtained and regulations are followed. Failure to comply can result in fines, delays, and legal complications.
Working with professional demolition contractors who are familiar with local requirements can help streamline the permit acquisition process and ensure compliance throughout the project. At U.S. Demo and Hauling, we have years of experience working in the Bay Area and are well-versed in all of the region’s regulations and permitting requirements.
