The many types of materials found in today's sites include but are not limited to:

• Asbestos
• Lead
• Fuel oil
• Gasoline
• Contaminated soil
• Industrial Contaminants

We provide a Designated Substances Survey (DSS) that identifies which substances are present. This is critical to establish the concentration and location of substances for abatement removal. Eco Demolition will establish an environmental site assessment in order to understand the unique nature of every site. This is provided to the client when tendering a house demolition or dismantling project.

Eco Demolition's site work specializes in the demolition aspect of site remediation. Contaminants and all materials leaving the site are sent to the regionally approved waste management facilities.

• How long does it take to demolish a house?
  A standard 1800 square foot house takes approximately one day for asbestos removal, one day to strip it out and two to three days once the excavator and trucks come on site.
  
  
• Do you leave the site cleared to the builder's requirements?
  Yes. We demolish all buildings and structures; remove appropriate vegetation, footings and any building rubble under the surface. The site is left clean and graded, ready for new construction.
  
  
• Can you remove Asbestos?
  Yes. All asbestos removal is carried out by our own licensed staff in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety and TSSA regulations. Our technicians are Asbestos Type 1,2,3, 253W and 253S Certified.
  
  
• How much notice is needed to book in a demolition?
  Two to three weeks is generally needed to organize demolition permit applications and to arrange all utilities and site services to be abolished.
  
  
• Do I need a permit to demolish my house or other structure?
  Yes. A Demolition Permit must be obtained from the City or Municipality in which the structure is located. A demolition permit is required to demolish all or part of a building. The demolition project can not start without a Demolition Permit.

  That depends and will be determined during the consultation.
  
  
• What about the Utilities? Electricity, Gas, Water, Telephone and Cable supplies to the building?
  The electricity and gas will need to be disconnected at the property line prior to the start of any demolition work. Water can usually be shut off at the property line, whilst telephone cables can be cut, rolled up and attached back to the pole. Disconnecting the services is crucial to quick progression and should be done as soon as possible, as it can take between two and three months to organize this with the utilities.
