DEMOLITION

Demolition is a very important step in renovation, and sometimes even in construction. It is essential when restructuring a building or when putting up a new building in place of an existing structure. It involves a range of work, such as demolishing roof frames, opening up and removing load-bearing and base walls, demolishing foundations and bulk excavation.

Demolition calls for a very serious, professional approach; otherwise the consequences can be severe. It must be carried out according to best practice to keep current and future occupants safe.

We work only with specialized equipment and follow every step of the process under the supervision of building professionals.

When you entrust us with your demolition work, you clear your land of old structures and your mind of worries.

Roof

A roof is demolished during full or partial repairs, or when the old roof covering is replaced with a new one. There are many reasons for this: wear or damage to the covering, a remodel, an attic extension, and so on. The roof is also taken down when the whole building is demolished.

Before the work begins, a step-by-step demolition plan must be drawn up. This plan depends on the type of roof, the quality and strength of the materials, the number of stories, the roof area and several other factors. The roof’s condition is always assessed on site; if the roof is old and in an unsafe state, additional safety measures will be needed.

Foundations

If you are wondering how to remove old foundations, you have probably already demolished most of a building, or you have bought a plot as is.

A house’s foundation, when built to all the rules and standards, is the strongest part of the whole structure. Breaking up foundations and clearing the construction debris from the site therefore takes a great deal of time and effort, and it is very difficult without specialists and special equipment.

There are several ways to demolish foundations: strip foundations are broken up with a hydraulic breaker, concrete foundations with an excavator, and small foundations with a jackhammer. This last technique can also be used when access to the site for heavy machinery is difficult or impossible.

Old utility systems

When major work is planned in an older home, removing the old systems and replacing them with new ones becomes extremely important for the comfort and reliability of the future occupants. In our experience, the utility networks in old buildings often deteriorate over time. Do not take this lightly: later on, problems with the electricity or water supply can cost you far more in repairs than replacing the systems at the right time.

Here is what falls under utility systems:

• electrical wiring
• heating system
• sewer system
• ventilation system
• plumbing pipes

We do not recommend dismantling these systems yourself, as mistakes can have dangerous consequences. To get the job done properly, it is best to call in a qualified company.
