Heavy Equipment Repair Near Waco
When heavy machinery goes down in Central Texas, the clock starts ticking immediately. Projects stall, crews stand around, and every hour of downtime adds up. Childress Heavy Equipment provides mobile heavy equipment repair — we come to your job site with diagnostic tools and the mechanical experience to assess and fix the problem in the field, without requiring you to haul a broken machine anywhere.
Jordan Childress spent years as a military mechanic before building this business. That’s over 18 years of hands-on experience with diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and the full range of mechanical issues that heavy equipment throws at you in the field. We work on excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, loaders, and similar diesel-powered machines. Whether it’s a hydraulic failure, engine trouble, undercarriage wear, or something that takes a proper diagnosis to identify, we handle it.
We’re available 24/7, which means we’re reachable when a machine goes down outside of business hours — because that’s often when it happens.
Land Clearing and Dirt Work in the Waco Area
In addition to equipment repair, we bring our dirt work and land clearing capabilities to projects in Central Texas, which includes the Waco corridor. If you’re developing property, prepping a site for construction, building a pond or a road, cleaning up after a new build, or taking down an old structure, we have the equipment and the experience to handle it.
Jordan grew up doing this kind of work. He’s been running equipment for dirt work projects — including septic installation and site prep — since he was old enough to pick up a shovel. That background shows up in how we approach a job: practically, without wasted motion, and with a real understanding of how land and soil behave under machinery.
Our dirt work and site prep services in the Waco area include:
- Site preparation for new construction
- Pond construction and grading
- Road building and access development
- New build site cleanup
- Demolition
For land clearing specifically, we handle brush removal, tree clearing, and debris removal to get a property ready for its next use.
A Veteran-Owned Business Built on Honest Work
Childress Heavy Equipment is veteran-owned and operated. Jordan’s military background as a mechanic isn’t just a detail on a webpage — it reflects how the business operates. Straight communication, follow-through, and a commitment to doing the job right without cutting corners.
