There’s nothing like a good demolition to release the aggression. Then again, knocking down walls and ceilings, ripping up flooring, and breaking up concrete also releases a lot of pollution into the air. From toxic crystalline silica found in cement to age-old asbestos and other outdated insulation, demos and Renos can take your breath away – literally. Take it from the demolition specialists at Junk Out; there’s steps you need to take to protect yourself from airborne pollutants during any house demolition.
Three Things You Can Do to Reduce Airborne Pollution During a Demo
You’d think there would be a lot less hassle involved in demolishing something. Take the average garage demolition for example. It’s not as simple as inviting some friends over and letting them go crazy with a sledgehammer. There are safety standards that have to be adhered to, possibly permits required, and a well-thought-out plan to help mitigate the spread of airborne particulates, especially if you’re not sure what’s in the walls of that garage. Your flower-planting environmentalist neighbour would be rather upset to see her pansies covered in powder. Getting rid of the demolition waste is as easy as booking a Garbage bin rental from Junk Out. For the dust, you should follow these steps.
