Why Test For Asbestos Before Demolition?

Asbestos fibers are safe until they are destroyed or start to crumble and break down. When you do building demolition, you are destroying the entire building, which could contain asbestos. The test is completed quickly, and the cost is very reasonable. An asbestos test could save everyone involved from a life long illness, because of asbestos exposure. The new laws require older buildings to be tested before they are demolished.

Removal Of Asbestos Before Demolition

We offer asbestos testing and home demolition services. Unlike other demolition companies out there, we can handle the entire process, from asbestos testing, to home demolition. If the building contains asbestos, the team is fully certified, licensed, and insured to safely remove the asbestos and demolition the building in the safest way possible. Our team has suits specialized for asbestos removal and equipment to keep the asbestos fibers contained. This way, no one is exposed to the asbestos. Once home demolition is complete, our team will dispose of the asbestos in a safe and legal way. We will not clear the area after demolition until we are 100% sure all asbestos fibers have been removed and that the area is safe.

Asbestos Removal Process

Initial Property Assessment

A visual inspection is conducted to identify areas where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are likely to be present, especially in older buildings.

Set Up Work Area

We create a secure and controlled work area to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading to other parts of your home. This includes sealing off the workspace and utilizing negative air pressure systems for maximum safety.

Remove Materials

Our certified experts ensure safe asbestos removal by sealing off the area, shutting down HVAC systems, and using wet cleaning methods and HEPA vacuums. They wear protective gear and securely seal and transport asbestos waste to approved disposal sites, minimizing health risks.

Cleaning

After removal, we conduct a comprehensive cleanup, utilizing HEPA vacuums and wet-wiping techniques to eliminate any remaining asbestos fibers and ensure a safe environment.

Asbestos demolition process, from the initial assessment to final clearance


1. Site Assessment and Asbestos Inspection

The demolition process begins with a comprehensive site assessment to determine if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present. This step is critical, especially for buildings constructed before 1990. Certified asbestos inspectors conduct a thorough visual inspection and collect material samples for laboratory testing. Identifying the location, type, and condition of asbestos ensures a safe and compliant demolition plan can be developed.



2. Asbestos Register and Management Plan

Once asbestos is confirmed, an Asbestos Register is created, documenting the specific locations and conditions of all ACMs. Based on this register, an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) is developed. This plan outlines procedures for safely handling, containing, and removing asbestos before demolition begins. It also includes emergency protocols and ensures all parties involved are aware of the risks and safety measures in place.



3. Site Preparation and Safety Setup

Before removal starts, the site is carefully prepared to prevent fiber release and cross-contamination. This involves sealing off affected areas using plastic sheeting and setting up negative air pressure systems. Warning signage is posted, access is restricted, and decontamination units are installed. Workers are provided with full personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, to ensure safety throughout the process.



4. Safe Asbestos Removal

Licensed asbestos removalists begin the careful removal of both friable (easily crumbled) and non-friable (bonded) asbestos materials. Removal is done using techniques such as wetting down surfaces to minimize dust, carefully disassembling materials, and placing all waste in secure, clearly labeled containers. Strict safety protocols are followed to ensure no fibers are released into the environment during this critical phase.



5. Decontamination and Waste Disposal

After the materials have been removed, the entire work area—including tools and protective gear—is thoroughly decontaminated. HEPA-filter vacuums and wet cleaning methods are used to eliminate residual fibers. All asbestos waste is securely transported to a licensed disposal facility in accordance with environmental regulations. Proper documentation is maintained to ensure regulatory compliance.



6. Final Air Monitoring and Clearance Inspection

Following removal and decontamination, a final inspection is conducted by an independent, licensed assessor. Air monitoring tests are carried out to detect any remaining asbestos fibers in the environment. Only when the site passes these strict safety tests is a Clearance Certificate issued, confirming the area is asbestos-free and safe for demolition to proceed.



7. Structural Demolition and Documentation

With the site cleared of asbestos, structural demolition can now begin safely. Heavy machinery is brought in to carry out the planned demolition, and all work is performed under the guidance of the initial asbestos removal plan. Final reports, including disposal records, clearance certificates, and air quality results, are provided to the property owner to document the safe and compliant completion of the asbestos demolition process.
