Bathroom Demo in Pleasant Prairie

Professional Bathroom Demo for Pleasant Prairie Homes

Bathroom demolition in Pleasant Prairie requires precision, especially for the 1970s-1990s ranch and colonial homes common in neighborhoods like Greenbrier and The Preserve at Pioneer Trail. Our crews handle the unique challenges of older Wisconsin-style construction: removing cast iron pipes, asbestos-containing materials (we test before removal), and tile work adhered with thick mortar beds typical of homes built before 2000. Pleasant Prairie's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters mean moisture damage is common, requiring skilled demo work that protects surrounding walls and flooring. We pull all required permits through the Village of Pleasant Prairie Building Department before starting any project.

A typical bathroom demo in Pleasant Prairie takes 2-3 days from start to finish. We remove all fixtures (toilet, vanity, tub/shower), strip walls to the studs, pull out plumbing and electrical components, and haul away 100% of debris. Most Pleasant Prairie bathrooms generate 4-6 cubic yards of material-drywall, tile, wood framing, old pipe, fixtures. We sort recyclables (copper, aluminum) and dispose of everything else through licensed facilities. Your bathroom is ready for new construction within 72 hours, with all debris removed and the space cleaned down to bare studs.

Our Bathroom Demo Process in Pleasant Prairie

1

Free On-Site Estimate and Permit Planning

We visit your Pleasant Prairie home, assess bathroom size and construction type, identify any hazmat materials, and provide a written estimate. We confirm what permits the Village requires (typically $150-300 for bathroom demo/renovation permits in Pleasant Prairie) and handle all paperwork submission.

2

Hazmat Testing and Prep (Day 1)

If your home was built before 1985, we test drywall, insulation, and pipe wrap for asbestos. We shut off water and electricity to the bathroom, set up containment if needed, and protect adjacent rooms with plastic sheeting.

3

Full Demolition and Removal (Days 1-2)

Our crew removes all fixtures, strips walls and flooring, disconnects plumbing and electrical, and loads debris into our trucks. A standard Pleasant Prairie bathroom demo generates 4-6 cubic yards of waste removed completely by end of Day 2.

4

Final Cleanup and Site Inspection

We sweep, vacuum, and clean the space down to bare studs. The Village of Pleasant Prairie Building Inspector verifies demo completion before you move to framing and rough-in work. You receive a final invoice and receipt for all materials removed.

Recent Project

Bathroom Demo Project: Greenbrier Subdivision Ranch Home, Pleasant Prairie

In March 2024, we completed a full bathroom demolition for a 1978 ranch home in the Greenbrier neighborhood near 75th Street. The 42-square-foot bathroom had a cast iron drain, asbestos-wrapped vent pipe, and failed tile that was leaking into the basement rim joist. We tested positive for asbestos in the pipe wrap, removed it following EPA guidelines, demo'd the entire bathroom to studs, and hauled all 5.2 cubic yards of material in exactly 2 business days. The homeowner reported the space was ready for rough-in by Day 3 and framing began the following week.
