Burien Demolition debris cleanup

Homeowner’s Issue

Small lots, heavy seasonal rain, and clayey soils make demolition cleanup in Burien more than a hauling job. Fallen timbers, concrete rubble, and exposed soil can block drains, trap moisture against foundations, and invite moss and invasive ivy into nearby planting beds. Owners and landlords often want quick clearance that also prevents erosion on slopes and avoids repeat visits in the wet season.

Local constraints — close neighbors, city permitting, and limited curbside space — mean careful sorting on-site and responsible disposal are essential. We account for rain, grade, and shade when planning removal and immediate repairs to keep the site safe and legible for tenants or future work.

Our Quality Service

We sort materials for recycling, salvage, composting, or green-bin disposal and avoid chemical treatments. Work is staged to limit mud tracking and erosion on slopes near Saltwater State Park or toward Des Moines, and we protect remaining lawns and plantings during removal.

Benefits include improved safety, restored curb appeal, reduced maintenance, and outcomes designed to last through Seattle-area rains.

What’s Included

  • On-site assessment and permit-aware planning
  • Segregation: wood, metal, concrete, compostables
  • Manual and mechanical removal, sweeping, and grading
  • Haul-away to licensed facilities and recycling centers
  • Final site inspection and basic restoration

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for beds
  • Organic weed control and hand-weeding (no herbicides)
  • Haul-away vs. green-bin / compost disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After cleanup, expect temporary exposed soil and compacted areas that benefit from aeration and seed or mulch. Water newly seeded spots lightly; control early weeds by hand and remove regrowing ivy promptly to prevent reestablishment.

FAQs

  • How long does a cleanup take? Small sites: half-day; medium: 1–2 days depending on sorting and weather.
  • Do you handle permits? We provide guidance and note permit needs, but owners often apply for required city permits.
  • How is waste disposed? We prioritize recycling and composting; remaining material goes to licensed facilities.
