📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free On-Site EstimateInheriting a farmstead or an old rural property is half blessing, half headache. The buildings are tired, the sheds are packed with decades of stuff, there's scrap and junk scattered across the lot, and the whole place has grown up in brush. Calling four different outfits — one to clean out, one to tear down, one to haul, one to grade — turns it into a part-time job you don't have time for.
Right here — call (217) 809-0779. Levi walks the property with you and hands you one itemized number. Free, no obligation, inside 60 miles of Mattoon, IL.
Brohez Trucking LLC does the whole thing as one job. We clear out the buildings, tear down the barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings, dig out the old fuel and septic tanks, haul off the scrap and debris, knock down the brush and fence rows, and grade the ground clean. One crew, one contractor, one straight number — from cluttered, grown-over eyesore to clean, workable dirt.
The Komatsu PC150LC-6 and the Cat D6N dozer handle the heavy teardown and the dirt work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi 259D3 get into tight farmsteads and around the buildings. Skid steers and tandem dump trucks haul the junk, scrap, lumber, tin, and concrete straight to the proper disposal site. The teardown side is our demolition and farm building demolition work; the cleanup side is land clearing, hauling, and grading. On an estate cleanout, it's all one pass.
A lot of folks who inherit a place live out of town and just want it handled. We can walk the property, send you a straight number, do the work while you're away, and send updates as we go. When you come back — or when the buyer shows up — the ground is clean dirt, ready to sell, farm, or build on.
Barns, cribs, and outbuildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, roofing, or pipe wrap. It's common on old farmsteads and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.
The permit and notification side is laid out in do you need a permit to demolish a building in Illinois, and the plain-English glossary explains the terms. On a farmstead the rule splits by building, not by age. The house is a single-family residence and is exempt — no survey, no notice. The barn, the crib, the machine shed and any other agricultural structure get no exclusion: a pre-demolition asbestos survey and the IEPA 10-working-day notification are required before those come down, and we coordinate both and build the clock into the schedule. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.
Talk to Levi — the man running the machine, not a call center. Call (217) 809-0779.
Every inherited property is different. The basics don't change.
We walk the whole place — house, buildings, scrap piles, overgrowth — talk through what's staying and what's going, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Most rural buildings don't need a permit. If yours does, we help sort it out, call utility locates, and arrange to kill any power, water, or gas still running to the property.
We empty the buildings and clear the lot. Take out anything you want to keep before we mobilize. Metal is separated for scrap and everything else is hauled.
The Komatsu and Cat dozer work each building down in a controlled sequence — barns, cribs, sheds, grain bins, even leaners. Nothing dropped toward the house, the road, or the fence line.
Junk, scrap metal, lumber, tin, concrete, and the foundations all get loaded onto tandem dumps. Metal separated for recycling, the rest to proper disposal. You rent no dumpsters.
We knock down the brush and fence rows, backfill the holes, grade the ground flat, and walk you through the finished property. Clean dirt — ready to sell, farm, build, or seed down.
An estate or farm cleanout bundles the whole job. Here's what rolls into one number.
Houses, barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings taken down clean, foundations broken out, the whole thing hauled off.
Corn cribs, hog barns, machine sheds, and pole barns torn down post by post and cleared off the farmstead.
Decades of stuff in the buildings, old machinery, and scrap piles across the lot loaded up and hauled away.
Lumber, tin, concrete, and demolition debris loaded onto tandem dumps and run to proper disposal — no dumpster rental.
Old grain bins and hopper bins on inherited farmsteads brought down safely, cut up, and hauled off with the scrap.
Brush, trees, and overgrowth that have swallowed the property knocked back so the acres come out workable.
Grown-up fence lines and tree rows cleared out so the boundaries are clean and the ground squares back up.
Most old farmsteads came with a pond, and after thirty unattended years it's half muck and grown up around the edges. We dig it back out dry with the same machines already on the property — see pond cleanout.
Holes backfilled, ground graded flat, and the whole property left as clean dirt — ready to sell, farm, or build.

Brohez Trucking LLC gives free, on-site, itemized estimates for estate cleanouts anywhere within 60 miles of Mattoon, Illinois — call (217) 809-0779.

We cover Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Shelby, Moultrie, Effingham, Edgar, Clark, Champaign and Macon counties. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to book the work.
Yes. Whole-property cleanouts are some of our favorite work. House, barns, cribs, sheds, grain bins, junk, scrap, and overgrowth — handled in one coordinated job by one crew. We clear it out, tear it down, haul off the scrap and debris, and grade the ground clean. One contractor, one number, start to finish.
No. A lot of folks who inherit a place live out of town. We can walk the property, send you a straight number, and handle the job while you're away, sending updates as we go. When we're done, the ground is clean dirt — ready to sell, farm, or build.
We haul it off. Old machinery, scrap metal, junk piles, lumber, tin, and the debris from the teardown all go onto our tandem dump trucks and head to the proper disposal or recycling site. Metal gets separated out for recycling. You don't have to lift a thing or rent a dumpster.
Yes — that's the whole point. The cleanout and the teardown are one job. After we clear the contents, the Komatsu PC150LC and Cat D6N take down the barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings, break out the foundations, and we haul it all off. See our demolition and farm building demolition pages for how the teardown works.
Yes. Old farmsteads grow up thick. Once the buildings are down, the brush, tree lines, fence rows, and overgrowth usually need to go too. Our land clearing and fence row clearing roll right into the same job so the whole property comes out clean and workable in one pass.
We take them down. Old grain bins and hopper bins on inherited farmsteads get brought down safely, cut up, and hauled off with the rest of the scrap. See our grain bin removal page for details on how that part of the job is handled.
Buildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, roofing, or pipe wrap — common on old farmsteads. Age is not what decides the paperwork, though. The house is a single-family residence and is exempt from the survey and the IEPA 10-working-day notice. The barn, crib, machine shed and any other agricultural structure get no exclusion, and we coordinate the survey and the notification before those come down.

A house and attached garage in Charleston, Illinois — block and brick separated and hauled to clean fill, roof and contents loaded into 30-yard boxes, and the slab left in place because that's what the owner wanted.

"Great Service and Great Price! They continued working for 3 days to demolish three buildings and removed all the debris to dumpsters that I ordered. Then, they also came in with dirt to fill the whole backyard. Strongly recommended!"
