What all is entailed in preparing for a structure demolition?
A. Depending on your location, you usually must get a demolition permit first. If you have an older structure, you will need an asbestos abatement contractor to inspect it and either remove the hazards or certify that no hazardous materials were found in the structure. Utility companies must be called for disconnects (electric, gas, water, TV, phone) a week or so before the demolition . If you are concerned about saving landscaping, that would be your responsibility. The sewer line capping or septic tank abandonment are usually part of a demolition bid.
