Private Property Debris Removal & Demolition

For decades, DRC has provided structural and strategic demolition services on both public and private property in a safe, environmentally responsible manner. DRC’s number one priority is to eliminate the immediate threat to public health and safety that damaged and abandoned structures may cause.  DRC works closely with all federal, state and local entities to ensure compliance with all environmental guidelines.

Demolition is an integral part of any location’s recovery from a major disaster, and DRC Emergency Services, LLC has successfully executed widespread demolition projects in a variety of locales. In 2009 DRC performed services for approximately 23 contracts that ranged from various types of debris removal to structural and slab demolition.  

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, DRC was responsible for the demolition of over 2,500 homes throughout the State of Louisiana in Washington, Jefferson, Terrebonne and Orleans parishes. The FEMA demolition, Selective Salvage demolition and the Strategic Demolition projects, which have been in effect since 2007, are responsible for the elimination of over 2,000 blighted properties. DRC also recently provided demolition services to the City of Lake Charles following devastating hurricanes in 2020 and 2021.

DRC has a multitude of experience providing private property debris removal and has successfully managed numerous Right-of-Entry Programs in accordance with FEMA guidelines. Since its inception, DRC has performed private property debris removal following several events such as the Marshall Fire, Washington BABB Fire, and Hurricanes Ida, Michael, Laura, Gustav, Katrina & Ian.
