Testing and abatement of asbestos, lead and other hazards arranged with qualified specialists before demolition begins.
Older buildings can contain materials that are dangerous when disturbed. Asbestos was used in flooring, insulation, roofing, joint compound and pipe wrap through much of the twentieth century, and lead paint was common in homes built before it was banned for residential use in 1978. Demolition is exactly the kind of work that releases them.
We do not perform abatement ourselves. We help you take the right steps in the right order: we recommend a survey by a qualified inspector, review the results with you, coordinate with qualified abatement specialists when needed and schedule demolition after hazardous materials are properly removed. This protects your family, your crew, your neighbors and your project schedule.
Many demolition jurisdictions require an inspection before work begins. A survey identifies materials so they can be handled before they become airborne.
Floor tile and adhesive, pipe wrap, roofing, siding, plaster, joint compound, popcorn texture and insulation are common asbestos-containing materials in older buildings.
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint. Demolition dust and debris require care, and testing helps plan correctly.
Qualified abatement contractors remove regulated materials under strict rules. We coordinate timing so demolition follows right after clearance.

You tell us about the project, the timeline and any concerns, and we set a time to visit that fits your day.
We walk the structure and the lot, check access, utilities and likely hazards and take photos and measurements.
We prepare the written scope, coordinate permits, surveys and utility disconnects and set up fencing and dust control.
The work proceeds in a planned order with water on dust and materials sorted for recycling.
Debris is loaded and hauled away on schedule, and the site is swept and kept tidy.
We grade the lot, sweep for nails and debris, take photos and walk the finished work with you.
Often yes. Many jurisdictions require it, and it protects everyone on the job.
No. Regulated materials must be removed by qualified abatement contractors. We coordinate with them.
The inspection often takes hours, and laboratory results take days.
We help you schedule abatement and plan demolition afterward.
Homes built after the 1980s are less likely to have asbestos, but ask your inspector, and test if you are unsure.
