How Do We Demolish?

William Remodeling Residential and Commercial Services adopts a step-by-step approach to demolishing your home to ensure a smooth process. Below is the detail:

Prepare Your Property for Demolition

First, you need to remove the furniture and your belongings. Next, contact your service provider to disconnect your gas, water, electricity, sewage, phone, and internet services. In some cases, your local fire department or building authorities will confirm that all utilities are disconnected. For your neighbor’s safety, secure the perimeter by using caution tape, putting signage, temporary fencing, and barriers.

Flooring

Once you’ve moved all your valuables from the home, we will start to tackle the floors throughout the interior of your property. This is one of the first steps if you plan on reusing or recycling the materials, whether you have carpet, hardwood floors, or tiles, so we don’t get further destroyed as your deconstruction progresses.

Walls

Next, we will tear down the drywalls and the structure beneath them. First, we’ll strip the walls of any wallpaper, either by hand or with a chisel and knife. Once the walls are cleared of materials, we’ll tear them down. We will assess your floor plan ahead of time so we are aware of load-bearing walls. We’ll also be careful not to damage any wires or pipes held within the walls. During the prep work, you would have had a thorough home inspection conducted to receive any demolition permits. If asbestos, rotting wood, or pests are found, your contractor will have to deal with added requirements around work practice, waste disposal, and recordkeeping as they work on tearing down the drywall. In the case of hazardous materials, you’ll likely need to steer away from reusing, recycling, or donating anything due to safety concerns.

Doors and Windows

With an empty home in your hands, you and we are in the clear to unhinge any doors and remove any window frames across the property. We’ll also remove the frames that keep these features in place. This includes interior and exterior doors, such as the closet doors or the doors leading into the front and back of the home.

Kitchen

Your kitchen is a bit more complicated to demolish because it has so many fixtures built into the space. By now, all major appliances in this space, such as your refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and microwave, should be moved out.
The next step is to remove the countertops, which your contractor will do with a chisel to separate the countertops from the caulking material and the walls. We’ll pry the countertop away, exposing the cabinetry underneath. We’ll move on to the cabinets, wall tiles, and flooring. If your cabinets are still in mint condition with fully intact doors, shelves, and handles, gently remove them so they can be recycled or donated.
We can apply the same tactic to carefully remove kitchen sinks and faucets that still have life in them and can be used in another home.

Bathroom

Bathroom demolition follows the same principle as that of the kitchen. First, we remove the sink, bathtub, and toilet, then move on to the cabinetry built into the walls. After that, just like in your kitchen, we’ll tackle the tile or vinyl flooring and then deconstruct the walls, now exposed without a bathtub, cabinets, and vanity. We will be careful with this step, especially if you plan on salvaging key materials in this room.

Pipes and Wiring

Before deploying heavy machinery, we first go to remove wires, cords, and pipes.

House

Now is the time to bring your house down. Here, we use heavy machinery like an excavator’s arm and bulldozer to cave in your home’s roof. Beginning the demo at the top of the home limits the risk of the building falling over, causing a serious risk of harm. After that, we will work on knocking over the wall frames and caving into the floors. We’ll also dismantle the brick walls. Be careful to salvage this material if you’ve requested it.

Debris Collection

We will use our heavy machinery to get this part of the job done, too. Excavators will do most of the heavy lifting, scooping up debris and dropping them into a dumpster for easy disposal. We could also rely on a bulldozer to push the debris close to your dumpster before hauling it into the dumpster one wheelbarrow at a time.
