What Demolition Actually Involves

Most homeowners think of demolition as just tearing things down. But a proper demolition project has multiple phases, each important for safety and legal compliance.

Phase 1: Assessment and Permitting

Before anything is touched, we assess the structure and research permit requirements with Pike County or the borough of Matamoras. Structural demolition, utility disconnection, and certain interior work all require permits. We handle the filing.

Phase 2: Utility Disconnection

All utilities serving the structure to be demolished — gas, electric, water — must be safely disconnected before demo begins. We coordinate with utility companies.

Phase 3: Hazardous Material Survey

Structures built before 1980 may contain asbestos or lead paint. We identify materials that require special handling and arrange for certified abatement if needed before demolition.

Phase 4: Demolition

With permits in hand and utilities disconnected, demolition proceeds. We work methodically to avoid damaging adjacent structures and follow all OSHA safety protocols.

Phase 5: Debris Removal and Site Cleanup

All demolished material is loaded onto our truck and transported to licensed disposal facilities. The site is cleared, graded as needed, and left clean.
