Storm & Disaster Cleanup Services in Birmingham

Tornadoes and severe storms can cause extensive damage in a matter of minutes. Trees can come down, structures can be damaged, and debris can spread across residential and commercial properties.

Our crew handles the heavy cleanup needed after severe weather, including:

• Removal of large fallen trees, limbs, and storm debris
• Demolition and removal of damaged structures
• Hauling of building materials and other heavy debris
• Clearing blocked areas of the property
• Site preparation for repair or rebuilding

With skid steers, loaders, excavators, and hauling equipment, we can tackle cleanup that goes beyond what can be handled with basic tools or a small trailer.

 High winds can bring down trees, uproot stumps, damage outbuildings, and scatter debris throughout a property. Large trees and root systems can also leave behind holes, uneven ground, and other damage once they come down.

Big Dig can remove storm-damaged trees and heavy limbs, clear the surrounding debris, and address stumps or disturbed ground when needed. If a fallen tree has damaged a shed, garage, fence, driveway, or other structure, we can also handle the demolition and removal work required to clear the area.

For properties that need more extensive tree and stump work, learn more about our Tree Removal and Stump Removal & Grinding services.

 Heavy rain and flooding can leave properties covered in mud, silt, washed-out material, and damaged building debris. Water can also weaken structures and erode areas of the property, creating additional work before restoration can begin.

Depending on the condition of the site, our cleanup work may include:

• Removing flood-damaged structural materials
• Clearing mud, soil, and heavy debris
• Demolishing structures that need to be removed
• Regrading disturbed or washed-out areas
• Clearing drainage areas and access points
• Preparing the site for contractors and restoration work

A fire can leave behind damaged walls, roofing, outbuildings, and other structural materials that must be removed before reconstruction can begin. Even after the fire is out, the remaining cleanup can be a significant project.

We provide demolition and heavy debris removal for fire-damaged properties, including the removal of structures or structural components that have been approved for demolition. Once the damaged material is removed, we can clear the work area and prepare the site for the next phase of the project.

Our Demolition Services page provides more information about the types of residential and commercial structures we can tear down and remove.

 Not every storm cleanup is simply a matter of picking up branches and hauling away debris. Severe weather, falling trees, flooding, and fire can damage structures enough that part or all of the structure needs to be removed.

Big Dig has the equipment to combine demolition and cleanup into one project. We can remove damaged sheds, garages, homes, commercial structures, concrete, pavement, and other materials when demolition is necessary.

Having demolition, excavation, and hauling capabilities available can also reduce the need to coordinate several different crews just to get a damaged property cleared.

 Once the major damage has been addressed, piles of debris can still stand between you and the next phase of the project. We provide debris hauling and site clearing for both residential and commercial properties.

Materials we can clear may include:

• Storm-damaged building materials
• Fallen trees, limbs, and yard debris
• Concrete and asphalt
• Soil and other displaced material
• Debris from damaged sheds and outbuildings
• General property debris associated with cleanup

For projects involving larger amounts of unwanted material, our Debris & Junk Removal services provide additional hauling and property-clearing options.
