When a building has solid foundations and good bones, but a damaged, moldy, or worn-out interior, a soft demolition (also called strip demolition) can revitalize the building and save it. Our process involves damaged flooring, ceilings, drywall, non-structural walls, and fixtures, while preserving the load-bearing walls, struts, floor joists, and foundation. This gives you a fresh start for remodeling without the need for a complete demolition. At Nielsen Environmental, we meticulously follow all OSHA and California building code requirements for your safety and ours. As your Los Angeles, CA soft demolition contractor, we work with you to effectively and safely complete your demo.
Soft Demolition Contractor Los Angeles, CA
The soft demolition process involves removing pieces of a structure without tearing down the entire building. It’s common for complete-gut remodels and buildings slated for refurbishment, remodeling, or use conversion. We do not affect the structural integrity of the building, and follow all federal, state, and municipal requirements for our projects, from permitting to clean-up.
The process our Los Angeles soft demolition contractor follows involves precise steps to preserve the electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems, as requested by the project manager. Before we swing the first hammer, we hammer out the plan with you down to the last stud. Then, we clearly communicate your instructions to our crew, so everything goes smoothly.
Sometimes, soft demolition produces surprises. We alert you as soon as we uncover potential hazards, which is common when doing a soft demo in an older building. If we uncover asbestos, lead, corroded pipes, dangerous electrical connections, or other hazards, we collaborate with you to develop the right plan for removal and safe disposal. We’re certified for remediation and asbestos removal and follow OSHA and EPA protocols for removing and disposing of it.
