Demolition Services

Overview

Demolition is more than just tearing down a structure—it’s a controlled, strategic process that requires careful planning, safety precision, and regulatory compliance. Whether you’re clearing a residential lot, removing a commercial building, or preparing for major site redevelopment, APEX Environmental Solutions delivers professional demolition services backed by environmental expertise. From selective interior demolition to full-scale structural teardown, we handle the job safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.

Service Description

Demolition services serve as the foundation for new development, renovation, or hazard removal. At APEX, we combine experience, heavy equipment, and environmental knowledge to complete projects safely and responsibly—whether you need an old structure completely removed or specific interior sections surgically demolished without disturbing the rest of the property.

Types of Demolition Services Offered

1. Structural Demolition

We provide full building tear-downs for residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, including:

  • Homes and garages
  • Warehouses and factories
  • Office buildings
  • Schools and institutions

These projects involve the complete removal of above-ground and sometimes below-ground structures (such as foundations or underground tanks). We use excavators, bulldozers, and other specialized machinery to bring structures down safely.

2. Selective Demolition

Also known as partial or interior demolition, this service removes specific portions of a structure, such as:

  • Walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Mechanical and electrical systems
  • Fixtures and finishes

Selective demolition is common in renovation projects where preservation of structural elements is necessary.

3. Interior “Soft Strip” Demolition

We strip interiors down to bare walls or framing in preparation for reconstruction. This includes:

  • Cabinets, millwork, doors
  • Drywall and insulation
  • Plumbing and wiring

4. Site Clearing and Cleanup

In addition to demolition, we provide:

  • Vegetation and tree removal
  • Debris and concrete hauling
  • Grading and ground leveling
  • Foundation and slab removal

5. Emergency Demolition

For buildings damaged by fire, flood, or natural disasters, APEX provides emergency demolition services to remove unsafe structures and protect public safety.

Our Demolition Process

1. Project Planning and Permitting

We begin with a site visit to assess the structure, utilities, environmental concerns, and access points. Then, we handle:

  • Demolition permits
  • Utility disconnection coordination
  • Historical preservation reviews (if applicable)
  • Asbestos and lead surveys (often required before demolition)

2. Hazardous Material Identification

If asbestos, lead paint, or other regulated materials are present, our team ensures they are inspected and abated before demolition begins—either by APEX directly or through managed subcontractors.

3. Safety Planning

Safety is a top priority. We prepare a detailed demolition work plan including:

  • Site-specific health and safety protocols
  • Fall protection and equipment guidelines
  • Dust, noise, and vibration control
  • Traffic and pedestrian management (when applicable)

4. Execution

Our trained operators use hydraulic breakers, high-reach excavators, skid steers, and other machinery to complete the demolition. We control dust with water suppression systems and maintain secure perimeter fencing.

5. Waste Disposal and Recycling

All waste is sorted and transported in compliance with local disposal regulations. APEX prioritizes sustainability and diverts as much debris as possible for recycling (concrete, steel, wood, etc.).

6. Final Site Cleanup and Close-Out

Once demolition is complete, we ensure the site is safe, clean, and ready for next steps—whether that’s construction, landscaping, or temporary stabilization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. Most jurisdictions require an asbestos survey before demolition. APEX can provide or coordinate this as part of our service.

It depends on the size and complexity of the structure. Residential projects may take a few days, while commercial or multi-structure demolitions may span several weeks.

APEX handles all required permits, utility notifications, and environmental documentation, so you don’t have to.
