FAQ's About Demolition

  • How much does demolition cost?

    One of the most important factors in determining the cost of demolition services is the size of the area that needs to be demolished. The larger the area, the more expensive the overall cost will be.


    In addition, the type of material that needs to be removed can also affect the cost. For example, concrete is generally more expensive to remove than wood.


    Finally, the location of the demolition site can also have an impact on cost. Sites that are difficult to access or are located in densely populated areas will typically be more expensive to demolish than those that are easily accessible.

  • What's the difference between demolition and excavation?

    The words demolition and excavation are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to two different processes. Demolition is the process of tearing down an existing structure, while excavation is the process of breaking up and removing earth or rock.


    Excavation can be done by hand or with heavy machinery, and it is often used in preparation for construction projects. Demolition, on the other hand, typically involves the use of tools like sledgehammers and wrecking balls.


    As a result, demolition is usually a louder and more destructive process than excavation. While both demolition and excavation can be disruptive, they are both essential processes in the construction industry.

  • How long does it take to tear down a house?

    There are a number of factors that can affect how long it takes to tear down a house. The size of the house, the type of construction, and the equipment being used all play a role in determining the timeline.


    In general, it will take longer to demolish a large house than a small one. Additionally, houses that are made of brick or stone will take longer to demolish than those made of wood.


    Finally, if the demolition crew is using heavy machinery, the process will go more quickly than if they are working with hand tools. With all of these variables in mind, it is difficult to estimate how long it will take to tear down a specific house. However, in general, the process usually takes several days or weeks.

  • What can and can't be recycled from a demolition project?

    A demolition project creates a lot of waste, but not all of it is recyclable. For example, rotting food and hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint cannot be recycled.


    However, many building materials can be reused or recycled. Wood, metal, glass, bricks, and concrete can all be recycled, as can insulation, drywall, flooring, and plumbing fixtures. To recycling as much as possible from a demolition project, it is important to sort the waste into different categories.


    This will make it easier for the recycling facility to process the materials and minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.

  • What are the different types of demolition?

    There are several different types of demolition: partial, selective, complete, and brownfield.

    • Partial demolition is the removal of part of a structure, usually for the purpose of repair or renovation.
    • Selective demolition is the deconstruction of a specific area or element of a structure, such as removing a section of wall or removing an unsafe floor.
    • Complete demolition is the total destruction of a structure, often done using heavy machinery.
    • Brownfield demolition is the removal of contaminated or hazardous materials from a site, such as asbestos or lead paint.

    Demolition is a complex process, and the type of demolition required will depend on the specific circumstances of the project.
