When a building is renovated, a demolition process must take place. Whether the entire structure is coming down or just certain portions, the debris and waste that follows will need to be dealt with properly. This includes old drywall, insulation, lumber, nails, wiring, plumbing, concrete, and other materials.
At Matrix Environmental, we properly remove all the waste and debris following a demolition, allowing for new construction and renovations to take place in the structure. Beyond just removing the unwanted materials from the property, there are a number of other factors that go into the proper disposal of demolition debris.
Reuse and Recycle
Some materials can be salvaged and reused while others can go to recycling plants where the materials are broken down and recycled. However, there are some things that cannot be reused or recycled, and they must also be disposed of properly. Matrix Environmental is knowledgeable about what can and can’t be reused or recycled. All of these details are taken care of to ensure that each piece of debris goes where it belongs.
Hazardous Materials Abatement
The concern of hazardous materials being present is another issue commonly addressed in the demolition of older structures. Examples include asbestos, lead and black mold that can be very dangerous to remove. Without proper demolition steps and disposal, there is a good chance that hazardous materials can become airborne and pose health risks to anybody in contact with the structure. These materials may also present major environmental concerns that could slow down or completely halt the renovation project.
Matrix Environmental specializes in safe and proper hazardous materials abatement, demolition, removal, and disposal so that there are no hazmat risks associated with the structure in question. We can help with all your demolition, debris removal, and hazmat abatement needs.
