Here are some of your most frequently asked questions about asbestos.

What Is Demolition?

Demolition is a complex set of tasks involving structural dismantlement, site clearance, environmental remediation, salvage, recycling, and industrial recovery.​

Asbestos and Demolition

Asbestos is an insulating and sound attenuating product that is used as pipe and ceiling insulation, sprayed-on fireproofing, and a variety of other uses. It can also be contained in flooring, roofing materials and some cement products. Overexposure to asbestos can cause health problems. Asbestos abatement, the safe removal of asbestos, is a major part of the demolition process. It is highly regulated and its safe handling and disposal is a major segment of the demolition market.

This resource guide from abestos.com details the dangers of asbestos removal and why asbestos abatement should be left to professionals.

What Is Environmental Stewardship?

Demolition contractors take great pride in their commitment to being good stewards of the environment. As most demolition contractors work in the towns and cities where they live, they work hard to improve the quality of life in these areas. Demolition of outdated or damage structures, environmental remediation of contaminated sites, asbestos abatement, and soil & facilities decontamination enhance economic development opportunities in these communities and help beautify a city or town.

What Are My Signs I Need A New Roof?

There are quite a few different signs that your roof is on its last legs. If you believe your roof is showing any of these signs, then it’s time to call in the experts.

Your roof has not been replaced in 20-30 years, which is the average life of an asphalt shingle roof.

Your tiles or shingles are cupping (the shingles turn upwards) or clawing (the edges stay flat but the middle starts to turn upwards).

There are entire tiles or shingles missing from your roof.

There are roof granules in your gutter.

Your tiles or shingles are cracked.

Light is coming through your roof, and can be seen in your attic

The roof is sagging in an area, which could indicate a structural issue

Can I Remove Asbestos Myself?

No! Airborne asbestos is a health hazard for yourself and anyone nearby, so professional removals are non-negotiable. This includes both the legal handling and the disposal of ACMs, as required by law. If you don’t have the proper protection in place, the effects of asbestos inhalation may not show themselves for years.

What Are Safe Asbestos Disposal Methods?

Only a trained and licensed professional should handle and dispose of asbestos. Any asbestos waste will need to be sealed and contained properly to prevent the release of fibres before transporting the ACM to a licensed waste facility.
