Concrete Demolition in Gilbert, AZ

Locates and dust control on Gilbert demolition

Breaking concrete makes dust. Maricopa County has opinions about that, and so do your residents.

Arizona requires contacting Arizona 811 before any digging or ground-moving work. Locators get two full working days to respond, not counting weekends and state holidays, and the Arizona Corporation Commission's rule of thumb is simple: don't dig until every utility on the ticket has responded. Marks stay valid for 15 working days, so longer projects need a refresh. Within 24 inches of a marked line, only hand tools are allowed. That's why we request locates well before the demolition date.

Dust is the other half of the job. Maricopa County's Rule 310 requires demolition crews to apply water to debris immediately after demolition and to wet disturbed soil enough to form a visible crust that resists wind. Water truck and water-pull drivers need county dust control training regardless of how much ground is disturbed. For Gilbert HOAs, where demolition often happens a few feet from homes, pools and play areas, we also fence the work zone and haul debris off site as we go.

Many Gilbert properties pair this with exterior construction & capex in Gilbert and grass removal & xeriscape in Gilbert, so one team handles the whole property.
