House demolition takes a house off the lot so the ground can be used again. Some houses are past fixing, and some were hurt by fire or a storm. Other owners want the old house gone so a new home can go up in its place.

North Carolina law lists demolition among the work that needs a permit from the local inspections department. In Cherokee County, the county's Building Code Enforcement office takes permit applications. Elsewhere, ask the inspections office for the county or town where the house sits.
The Health Hazards Control Unit at NC DHHS recommends an asbestos inspection before any house comes down. An asbestos inspector accredited by the state has to do it. Vinyl flooring, plaster, joint compound and cement siding are among the materials known to hold asbestos. If it turns up, ask that office who may remove it before the teardown.
Every utility service has to be off before work starts, and you arrange those shutoffs with each provider. If the house runs on propane, call the supplier about the tank as well. NC 811 marks public lines only, so show us where the well line and the septic tank sit. An old well or septic tank left on the lot is a question for the county health department.
In the mountains around Murphy, a lot can be steep, with a narrow drive and trees close to the house. The large excavator pulls the house down and loads the dump truck. The small one works in close, near trees and any buildings you are keeping.
Old cabins and houses that have sat empty a long time come down the same way. Porches and decks go with the house. The excavator takes the house apart and sets the debris straight into the dump truck. Load by load, the house leaves the lot.
Some jobs stop at the top of the foundation, and some take the foundation out too. When the slab or the foundation walls have to go, the excavator breaks them out. The pieces go out on the dump truck with the rest.
An old driveway or patio can come out on the same job, and our concrete removal page covers that work. A detached garage or shed on the lot falls under building demolition.
We leave the lot cleaned up and ready for what comes next. When a new home is going up, site development picks up from there with the house pad and the drive.
