House and Garage Demolition Tips for Castleberry, AL

Does my home need to be inspected before demolition?

If you're starting to think about demolishing your house, a crucial step in the process is having your home inspected by a professional.

Ask your building demolition contractor what the inspection requirements in your area are.

Most states require that older homes/buildings be inspected prior to demolition for the presence of:

  • Asbestos
  • Lead paint
  • mold
  • rotted wood
  • Other hazardous materials

If the home contains asbestos, lead paint, or another hazardous material, proper procedures for remediation need to be followed.
