Demolition Methods We Use
Our crews rely on proven techniques and modern equipment to ensure safe and efficient demolition:
- Hydraulic Excavators – Used to topple one- or two-story buildings through controlled undermining, allowing precise control of the fall direction.
- Wrecking Balls – Sometimes utilized by a crane to bring a structure down to a manageable height before controlled undermining.
- Loaders & Bulldozers – Equipped with steel rakes to ram walls and assist in demolition.
- Skid Loaders – Used to load debris and separate recyclable materials, such as steel.
- Dust Control – Fire hoses are used throughout demolition to suppress dust and maintain a safe environment.
Precision Demolition Methods
At PAW Demolition, precision is built into every project we take on in Lakeland. Using hydraulic excavators, our crews strategically undermine homes to ensure controlled collapse, guiding the structure to fall safely and predictably. For taller or more complex buildings, we may use cranes and wrecking balls to bring the structure to a manageable height before final demolition.

Dust Control
Dust suppression is a top priority. We keep the site damp throughout the process using fire hoses, which helps minimize dust spread in nearby residential areas. Environmental controls such as soil and erosion protection are also implemented as needed.
We use heavy-duty loaders and skid steers equipped with steel rakes to dismantle structures and sort debris efficiently. Recyclable materials are separated on-site to align with our sustainability standards—learn more about that in our Going Green and Recycling
practices.

Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Every project has a dedicated site safety officer to enforce OSHA standards and any client-specific safety protocols. You can count on PAW Demolition for a clean, compliant, and safe demolition experience from start to finish.
