Asbestos pre-demolition surveyMichigan · Required step for most demolitions

Before the first swing, know what's inside.

A demolition crew cannot knock down what an asbestos survey has not cleared. We inspect the whole structure, sample every suspect material, and deliver the written survey your permit, your contractor and your schedule depend on.

We tell you which apply to your project, so the paperwork does not become the thing that delays the crew. After removal, a separate clearance step confirms the area is ready.

Demolition survey questions

Is an asbestos survey required before demolition in Michigan?

For most buildings it is, and the survey has to be done by a qualified inspector before demolition starts. Rules differ by building type and size, and the state environmental agency, EGLE, has the final word. We tell you which rules apply to your project.

What does the survey cover?

Every part of the structure that is going to be taken down, including roofing, siding, floors, ceilings, insulation, pipe and duct wrap, and boiler or furnace components, sampled and reported by location.

How long before demolition should I order it?

As early as possible. Sampling, lab results and any required abatement all have to be finished before the demolition crew arrives, and a state notification period can apply.

What happens if asbestos is found?

The report lists exactly what and where it is. Regulated material is removed by a licensed abatement contractor before demolition, and the report is what that contractor bids from.
