In Vancouver, the majority of Vancouver house demolition projects we perform are for residential properties that people no longer use. Once demolished, this makes land available for new construction work for homeowners and investors. We perform precision-planned, highly accurate and safe demolition projects across Vancouver’s rural and urban areas.
While house demolition Vancouver is a relatively simple and straightforward process, it can be challenging and intimidating for any homeowner doing it for the very first time. There are a variety of factors you should take into account before going on this journey of demolishing property and rebuilding from the ground up.
The holidays are a time to come together and celebrate with family, but it’s also a time where our garbage and recycling increases. In this case, it’s also a time to take a look at what you already own. When decluttering, it’s important to know how to practice safe asbestos disposal in the case that you do find items that you suspect might be contaminated.
Asbestos removal Vancouver is now necessary for many parts of Canada due to its past widespread use. Why? Asbestos was used as a miracle material due to its incredible fire-resistant properties. It was used anywhere where fire may have been an issue. After discovering the dangers of its inhalation, it became banned in multiple countries and now companies just like us are working to make sure people are living in asbestos-free homes.
Holiday decorations are oftentimes items that are passed down to us from previous generations. Antique Christmas tree toys, tree lights and other decorative items sprinkled with the dangerous substance still lurk in most people’s attics or basements. As those items are taken out once a year, it increases families’ exposure to asbestos without even knowing it.
As winter is just around the corner, those suffering from asbestos-related lung conditions might be wondering how the cold weather might affect their condition. Whether asbestosis, mesothelioma or pleural thickening, asbestos-related lung conditions can sometimes be exacerbated during the winter.
Maybe your home contained asbestos and you decided to demolish it and start from scratch or perhaps you’re demolishing a home to flip it. But now that it’s all done, what now? When you live in a house, making the most of the space you have after demolition Vancouver, should include an outdoor living space. Whether you lived an exhausting and terrifying experience after discovering your home contained asbestos or never had a designated, well-landscaped backyard, now’s the time to have a dedicated space to call your own.
Whether you just bought a home to flip and resell, or are planning on building your dream custom home from scratch, the house demolition Vancouver process is something you’ll have to go through.
There was a certain period of time between the 1930s and 1980s, where asbestos was hailed a miracle material. Until its hazardous properties were discovered and asbestos abatement became a popular service, it was widely used in construction and a variety of other products.
Although the use of asbestos has been eliminated, it still exists in older buildings and is highly dangerous if disturbed. It’s critical that if you suspect asbestos in your home, you contact a professional asbestos abatement company like BC Green for asbestos handling Vancouver.
