What do I need to do before my house is ready for demolition?
Before we can begin demolishing your house or garage we need you to do what is called a Utility Hard Disconnect for Demolition. You will need to contact your Gas and water/power service providers and request to have your services disconnected prior to demolition. Why can’t Infill Demolition do this? Disconnecting a properties services requires a contract between the service provider and the landowner. Don’t worry the cost to get your services disconnected is minimal! With that being said, it’s very important you plan to disconnect your services when the project is ready for demolition. You may want to keep the power and water on if hazardous materials (ie. asbestos) abatement services are required as part of the permit application. It can often take your service provider up to 3-4 weeks to disconnect the services. Please also keep a copy of your service disconnection contract as we will need to see these documents before we can get a demolition permit and begin demolition.
How long does a single family house demolition usually take?
A single-family house demolition can take anywhere from 1-2 days depending on the time of year, Square Footage of the house and whether there’s a detached garage or other structures that require demolition as well. If the site is smaller and harder to maneuver it may take longer. Pre-demolition activities such as hazardous materials testing and abatement, arborist, fencing and permitting can take 4-6 weeks, so we need to get started as early as possible. All services will be quoted separately for your convenience.
Are we bondable, and Insured?
Yes. All of Infill Demolitions excavators and bonded and insured!
What's the largest project we do?
We do all types of stick-built with or without concrete foundations residential demolition, as long as it is 3 stories or below. This means we will be able to meet your demolition needs on most small-scale apartment demolitions and all garage and house demolitions!
What permits etc. do you need before demolition can begin?
We need a demolition permit as well as Alberta One Call, to come locate your service lines. It typically takes us no longer than 1-2 weeks to get a demolition permit if all pre-demolition services are complete (ie. utility disconnects, HAZMAT testing and abatement, utility lines on your property located etc.). Once all tasks have been completed, the permit issued, we can start the 1-2 day demolition process.
What's the smallest demolition project you'll do?
Infill Demolition will do single car garage demolitions and up! That means we’ll do demolitions from small garages all the way up to small-scale stick built apartment buildings and anything in-between! If you have a project that’s a little out of the ordinary, give us a call and let us know, we’re willing to take on challenges!
