Demolition FAQ
Do you control dust?+
Yes. Wet-saw cutting and on-site water suppression keep airborne dust within OSHA silica limits. Required for any work near occupied spaces.
Do you haul the rebar?+
Yes. Rebar is separated and hauled to a metal recycler — often that recycling credit gets passed back into the quote.
Can you cut without damaging surrounding concrete?+
Yes. We score with a wet-saw before breaking, which gives a clean stop line. For high-precision work near tile or finished surfaces, we use a track saw.
How fast can you start a demo?+
Most demos start within 5–10 business days of quote acceptance. Emergency demos (e.g. failed slab blocking access) can usually start within 48 hours.
