Heavy equipment turns walls, floors and ceilings into dust and small pieces, which is why asbestos has to be found and removed before a teardown. DeSoto Asbestos Removal arranges the survey and the cleanup ahead of your demolition contractor.

Kinds of teardown

One house

DeSoto lists demolition of a building or structure among the work that needs a permit. A single private residence is outside the state asbestos rules, and demolishing one on its own needs no state notification. A survey is still smart, since the crew and the neighbors breathe the same dust.

A commercial building

A commercial building cannot come down without a state notice, even if the survey finds nothing. DeSoto's commercial permit guide asks for a survey of the areas to be demolished.

Buildings ordered down as unsafe

When a government agency orders a structurally unsound building demolished, the order is attached to the state notice. Tell us at the start if that is your case.

Working hours

DeSoto limits excavation and demolition near residential areas to 7 am to 6 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 6 pm on Saturdays, and 9 am to 5 pm on Sundays without heavy equipment, unless Building Inspections approves an exception. We schedule the abatement ahead of the demolition inside those hours.

Everything the survey finds comes out first. Waste then goes to a landfill that accepts asbestos.
