Oh please, are you encroaching on their habitat? If they are doing damage to property, and causing flooding, they have to go.
I hate to be the one who tells you this, but just tearing down the dams will be a lot of work for nothing. They WILL rebuilt.
You have two options, live trap them and move them to an area where they can dam their hearts content, or trap them and make beaver hats out of their furry little bodies.
Start with Fish and Wildlife or your local warden. If you live in town, you can call the City Engineer and he will take care of it.
Yup, sounds cruel, but THAT is survival of the fittest.

This is Montana rules, If your a land owner go to your local Fish & Game get a land ower's permit. That will give you the right to manage pest's, beaver are a rodent and are highly distructive.
My property has a river boundry on 3 sides. Beavers will cut tree's in highly errodable area's and tunnel it to banks making it worse.
I'm constantly on patrol for new batches of beaver, when you clean out 1 batch, more will move in from upstream.
This whole thing is sad, when I was a kid I trapped beaver sold the hides put some bucks in my pocket and controlled the population. Now the Anti-fur people made the value of the hide drop (3 bucks) thinking they would stop trapping.
All they did was let that animal go to waste. I still have to controll the population, so I shoot them and leave them lay

Beavers are mega destructive to forests especially when their natural predators have become extinct in a region. The Beaver is Canada's national animal, but even Canadians are concerned about the damage they do. In Canada when deforestation becomes too much they cull all of them. Sometimes they do a partial cull if there is a chance that their preditors are starting to settle in their territory.
Left unchecked they will destroy acres of forest.
You will have to kill them. It sounds harsh, but if there are no wolves or coyotes to keep their numbers down, they kill the trees whether they build dams or not. Destroying their dams does not stop them. Their is only one way and that is too shoot them or have them killed by your State's Wildlife Service.

Get rid of the beavers

You should sic the local 'environmental cops' on them. Those beavers have no permit to be building on that land; I seriously doubt that they have done an ecological study on the watershed impact... (see source).
Well, I suppose that you will just have to arrange for them to be removed and re-located. Short of physically removing them (or killing them), you aren't going to be able to control them much. They will rebuild just as fast as you can tear down...
