Comprehensive and Complete Demolition Services Calgary

Full-Scale Structural and Building Demolition

Specialized Flooring Demolition Services Calgary

This service is a critical component of our broader interior demolition operations.
The Hidden Danger: Asbestos Abatement Calgary Integration
Before we can safely swing a hammer or fire up an excavator, we must address the hidden environmental hazards present in thousands of older Calgary buildings. Prior to 1990, asbestos was heavily utilized in Canadian construction. It was frequently mixed into vinyl flooring tiles, acoustic popcorn ceilings, drywall joint compounds, and boiler insulation.
Disturbing Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) during a structural teardown or flooring removal releases microscopic, highly carcinogenic fibers into the air. This poses a lethal threat to workers and the public, and will trigger an immediate project shutdown by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
At Makki Demolition, we believe that comprehensive site clearing requires comprehensive hazard management. This is why our demolition operations are deeply integrated with elite asbestos abatement contractors Calgary.
