Things to consider
Environmental testing must be completed for hazardous materials like asbestos or lead on the property before demolition occurs. If these materials are found, they must be removed and disposed of at an approved site before demolition can begin.
Utilities like hydro, gas, septic and water must also be disconnected if needed.
