Professional Asbestos Removal for Building Demolition in Seattle

When preparing for building demolition, one of the most important steps is the safe and professional removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). At Green River Asbestos Abatement, we provide efficient asbestos removal services to ensure your demolition project is compliant with safety and legal standards, minimizing risks and avoiding costly delays.

Why Asbestos Removal is Essential Before Demolition

Before you can obtain a demolition permit, an asbestos survey is legally required to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the building. If ACMs are found, they must be safely removed before demolition can begin. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in:

  • Permit Delays: You won’t be able to secure a demolition permit without proper asbestos testing and removal.
  • Costly Fines: Non-compliance with asbestos removal regulations can lead to significant fines and legal issues.
  • Project Delays: Contractors will stop work until the asbestos is properly handled, which could add costly delays to your project.
  • Health Risks: Disturbing asbestos during demolition releases hazardous fibers, which pose serious health risks to workers and the surrounding community.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Asbestos is commonly found in a variety of building materials, including:

  • Roofing Shingles
  • Cement Asbestos Board (CAB)
  • Pipe and Duct Insulation
  • Floor Tiles and Sheet Vinyl
  • Popcorn Ceilings and Drywall

If your building was constructed before the 1980s, it’s important to identify and remove these materials before demolition.

Before any demolition, a Good Faith Asbestos Survey conducted by an AHERA-certified inspector is required by law to obtain a demolition permit. This inspection involves taking samples from various areas of the building to test for asbestos-containing materials. The survey ensures that asbestos is properly identified and removed, keeping your project compliant with regulations and preventing any fines or delays.

The duration of asbestos removal depends on the size of the building and the extent of asbestos-containing materials. Typically, removal can take a few days to a few weeks. It’s essential to plan this ahead of the demolition to prevent any delays in your project timeline.

Asbestos removal is legally required before any demolition begins. This is because disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air, which pose severe health risks, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Failing to remove asbestos not only endangers the health of workers and the surrounding community but also carries heavy fines and legal repercussions for non-compliance. Ensuring asbestos is properly removed before demolition helps protect both people and the environment while adhering to federal and local regulations.
