Junk Removal G.I. Junk Removal is your local, independent, 100% Veteran owned and operated junk removal company serving the Portland Metro area. We are on a mission to provide exceptional service by employing Veterans in our community and supporting local Veterans' services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Demolition

Planning a commercial demolition project? Find answers to common questions about the process, costs, and finding the right contractor in UK.

What is the difference between a demolition permit and a building permit?

Demolition and building permits serve distinct purposes in the construction process:
A *demolition permit* authorizes the tearing down or removal of an existing structure. It ensures that the demolition is performed safely and complies with local regulations.
A *building permit* is required for new construction, additions, renovations, or alterations to existing structures. It ensures that the new work meets building codes and safety standards.
Both permits are typically issued by the local building department and may involve inspections at various stages of the project.

What are the consequences of improper hazardous waste disposal?

Improper hazardous waste disposal can have severe consequences, including:
  • Environmental Contamination:
  • Human Health Problems:
  • Legal and Financial Penalties:
  • Damage to Property Values:
Responsible waste management is crucial during demolition projects to avoid these significant liabilities.

What is the role of a structural engineer in commercial demolition?

A structural engineer plays a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient demolition of commercial buildings. They are responsible for:
  • Assessing the structural integrity of the building and identifying potential hazards.
  • Developing a demolition plan that outlines the safest and most effective methods for bringing down the structure.
  • Overseeing the demolition process to ensure compliance with safety regulations and the demolition plan.
  • Addressing any unexpected structural issues that may arise during demolition.

What are the health risks associated with asbestos exposure?

Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to several severe health issues, including:
  • Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart.
  • Lung Cancer: Asbestos exposure significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, especially in smokers.
  • Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease caused by scarring of lung tissue due to inhaled asbestos fibers. It can lead to breathing difficulties and reduced lung function.
