When disaster strikes, D.H. Griffin is ready to respond. For more than 65 years, we have been a trusted provider of emergency demolition services following structural failure caused by fire, natural disasters, explosions, or building collapse.
With one of the largest fleets of specialized equipment in the nation and a highly trained team on call 24/7, we mobilize quickly to help secure sites, stabilize structures, and begin safe demolition or dismantling once the area is cleared.
From immediate emergency response through controlled takedown and site cleanup, our goal is always the same — protect lives, preserve property, and restore stability.
Our emergency team is adept at coordinating with first responders, evidentiary teams, insurance companies, and public officials to manage every phase of response. D.H. Griffin works closely with owners to develop a site-specific plan that ensures safety, maintains compliance, and controls costs.
Whether stabilizing a partially collapsed building or performing complete demolition of an unsafe structure, our team brings decades of experience, industry-leading equipment, and proven expertise to each job.
Design flaws, aging systems, or deliberate acts like terrorism and arson can cause catastrophic failure. Fires, explosions, and natural disasters such as hurricanes or tornadoes can lead to severe structural damage requiring immediate response.
No matter the cause, D.H. Griffin has built a national reputation for safe, rapid, and effective emergency demolition. Our ability to collaborate with government officials and first responders has saved lives, reduced secondary damage, and accelerated recovery efforts.
Safety is the foundation of every D.H. Griffin emergency response. Each project begins with immediate hazard assessment, shoring or separation planning, and coordination with local authorities to secure the scene.
Our teams follow detailed safety protocols to protect workers, first responders, and the public while preserving critical evidence when required for investigations. With decades of field experience and industry recognition from ENR and Highwire, D.H. Griffin continues to set the standard for emergency demolition safety.
