Excavation and Demolition Contractor in Millcreek, Utah
House demolition, basement excavation and drainage work in Millcreek and Holladay.
Teardowns and Rebuilds in Millcreek
Millcreek became its own city in 2016, but most of its neighborhoods are decades older. Mid-century ramblers on big, mature lots are being replaced with new homes, and each one starts with a teardown and a new basement dig. Ritz Excavation & Demolition does both, so the lot goes from old house to open basement with one company.
New homes on old lots also need new utility runs and a plan for water. We trench for water, power and gas and grade the lot so runoff moves away from the new foundation.
We work just as much in neighboring Holladay, where large lots, mature trees and high-end rebuilds make careful demolition and tidy job sites a must. Teardowns there often sit a few feet from neighbors, so debris is hauled as we go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do house demolition in Millcreek and Holladay?
Yes. Residential teardowns in Millcreek and Holladay are a big part of our work. We take the house down, haul the debris and can dig the new basement right after.
What's needed before a teardown in Millcreek?
Expect an asbestos inspection by a Utah-certified inspector, a demolition notification to the Utah Division of Air Quality at least 10 working days ahead, utility disconnects and a demolition permit from the city.
Do you need a permit for a retaining wall in Millcreek?
Millcreek requires a building permit with engineered plans for retaining walls over 4 feet tall, so plan for engineering on taller walls.
Do you protect trees and neighboring property?
Yes. Older east-side lots often have mature trees and homes close by, so we plan access and debris hauling to keep the work contained.
