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.
