Central Illinois sits in tornado alley, and a bad storm or a house fire leaves you with something dangerous standing where your barn or home used to be — half a roof hanging, walls leaning, loaded timbers ready to drop. That's not something to walk into or wait on.
Right here — call (217) 809-0779. Levi comes out, looks at what is left, and hands you one itemized number you can hand to the adjuster. Free, no obligation, inside 60 miles of Mattoon, IL.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles storm damage demolition, tornado damage cleanup, and fire damage demolition across central Illinois — burned houses, storm-wrecked barns, collapsed garages, and any structure a storm left unsafe. We move quick when something's a hazard.
Nothing has to come down — you just need the mess gone? That is a different job and it has its own page. Downed trees, brush, blown-in debris and a yard full of wreckage with the buildings still sound is storm & tornado cleanup. This page is for the half where a structure is unsafe and has to be taken down. Same crew either way — one call sorts out which you need.
The Komatsu PC150LC does the heavy work — bringing the unsafe structure down in a controlled sequence so nothing drops the wrong way. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight spots and clean up. Dump trucks haul the burned debris, lumber, tin, and concrete to a proper disposal site. Hazard standing to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.
We're insurance-job friendly — a clear written estimate with a straight number you can hand to your adjuster, work documented, no games. And we're straight about what's in an older structure before we start, including any signs of asbestos in siding or roofing.
Houses and barns put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, roofing, or pipe wrap — and storm or fire damage doesn't change that. It's manageable, it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.
Which rule applies is decided by the building, not by its age or by the damage. A single-family house is exempt from the pre-demolition asbestos survey and the IEPA 10-working-day notice. A commercial, institutional or agricultural structure — a barn included — is not, and we coordinate the survey and file the notice before anything comes down. Fire doesn't change which category a building is in, though it does change how the material has to be handled. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Every damage job is different. The first priority never changes — make it safe.
We get out quick, look at what's standing, check what's unsafe, and give you a straight written number you can hand to your insurance adjuster.
The first job is the immediate hazard — bringing down what's leaning, hanging, or ready to collapse so nobody gets hurt on your property.
We help sort any required permit, call utility locates, and arrange to kill any power, gas, or water still running to the damaged building.
The Komatsu works the damaged structure down in a controlled sequence — even a half-collapsed one. No dropping things toward the house, the bins, or the neighbor.
We separate metal, lumber, concrete, and burned debris where it makes sense, load it on dump trucks, and haul it to a proper disposal site.
We clear the footprint, backfill, and grade the spot flat. Clean dirt — ready to rebuild, farm, or seed down, and ready for your insurance to close out.
If a storm or fire left it unsafe and in the way, we can probably help.
Tornado and high-wind wrecked structures cleared, made safe, and hauled off so you can start over on clean ground.
Barns and outbuildings caved or twisted by a storm brought down in a controlled way and cleaned up.
Burned-out and fire-damaged houses demolished, debris separated and hauled, the lot left clean for a rebuild or sale.
Burned barns, garages, and sheds torn down carefully, with metal separated and burned debris hauled to proper disposal.
Half-standing walls, hanging roofs, and loaded timbers brought down in the right sequence so nobody gets hurt.
Clear written estimates, documented work, and a straight number your adjuster can work with. We keep it simple.
Metal, lumber, concrete, and burned material separated where it makes sense and hauled to a proper disposal site.
Foundation and slab broken out if needed, footprint backfilled and graded flat — clean dirt, ready to rebuild.
Some structures can't wait for a quote next month. A barn that's leaning farther every week, a fire-gutted house the kids keep wandering into, a building the county has already ordered demolished — those are emergencies, and they get handled like one.
If a storm half-flattened it, a fire hollowed it out, or it's just rotted and leaning until it's one good wind from coming down on its own, the smart move is to drop it on purpose — in a controlled sequence, away from the house, the bins, and the neighbor — instead of waiting for it to fall the wrong way. We come look fast, tell you straight what we're dealing with, and get it on the ground and cleared.
Leaning, sagging, half-collapsed barns and outbuildings that are one storm from coming down on their own — brought down on purpose, in a controlled way, before they hurt somebody.
Got a letter from the county or the city ordering a building demolished? We'll get out fast, talk through what's required, and clear it so you're square with the order.
Burned-out and fire-damaged structures are unstable and full of hazards. We tear them down carefully, separate the debris, and haul it all off so nobody's tempted to go poking around in there.
Hanging roof, half-standing walls, loaded timbers ready to drop. After a storm or tornado we move quick to make the site safe and clear the immediate hazard.
The Komatsu PC150LC-6 does the heavy work — reaching in and walking a leaning or half-collapsed structure down in the right sequence so nothing drops toward anything that matters. Once it's on the ground, the debris gets separated, loaded, and hauled off, and the Cat D6N dozer clears and grades the footprint flat. Hazard standing to clean dirt, one crew.
We're local to central Illinois — owner-operated, so you're talking to the man running the machine, not a call center taking a message. When something's unsafe, that's the difference between getting it handled this week and sitting on a waiting list.

It can be on older structures. Houses and barns built before about 1980 may carry asbestos in siding, roofing, or pipe wrap. Which rule applies is decided by the building, not its age: a single-family house is exempt from the pre-demolition survey and the IEPA 10-working-day notice, while a commercial, institutional or agricultural structure is not — and on those we coordinate the survey and file the notice before anything comes down.

"These guys have went above and beyond for me. My garage was damaged in the tornado. They finished knocking it down and an amazing job of cleaning it up. I would definitely hire them again if needed!"
"The tornado made quite a mess of the buildings on my property. They were quick to schedule and begin work given the local workload after the storm. Very skilled service in salvaging machines and vehicles under debris. Every custom request was fulfilled and felt very confident throughout the process. Total satisfaction. Brohez will definitely be my 1st choice for future projects."
"We hired Levy for a large demo job and dirt removal. They showed up on time, worked hard, and completed the job faster than I expected. What impressed me most was how clean they left the site afterwards — no mess left behind."
