Building Demolition Services
Professional Building Demolition Services in Rochester, NY
When buildings need to come down but contain asbestos that can’t be safely removed first, KBH Environmental has the specialized expertise to handle controlled demolition safely.
We handle selective tear-outs, full-structure takedowns, and everything in between—with the added advantage of in-house environmental controls, hazardous material handling, and integrated utility coordination. That means faster timelines, fewer vendors, and fewer headaches for you.
Demolition Scenarios We Handle
Full Building Demolition
We manage complete takedowns of commercial, industrial, and municipal structures, including utility buildings, warehouses, office complexes, and public facilities.
Every project is backed by detailed structural evaluations, customized material handling plans, and carefully sequenced steps to ensure a safe, efficient takedown.
Selective Demolition and Interior Gutting
Need to preserve structural elements while removing targeted sections? We offer precision demolition for renovation, code compliance, or environmental remediation.
Our teams specialize in working within operational facilities, sensitive utility areas, and specialized containment zones without disrupting neighboring structures.
Fire-Damaged or Structurally Unstable Sites
When safety risks prevent standard removal processes, we develop custom demolition plans to mitigate hazards while protecting surrounding areas.
We’re experienced in working under emergency conditions and can mobilize rapidly to stabilize, clear, and prepare compromised sites.
Asbestos-Impacted Structures
In buildings where asbestos-containing materials are embedded or inaccessible, we integrate specialized fogging systems and environmental controls into the demo process. This allows us to suppress airborne fibers and maintain safety during takedown.
These strategies are especially critical in ceiling cavities, ductwork, and older construction zones where full pre-abatement isn’t possible.
What Is Fog Suppression?
When demolition involves asbestos-containing materials that can’t be safely removed first, we use our specialized fogging technique. This ultra-fine mist captures airborne fibers before they spread, significantly reducing the risk of exposure during active takedown.
It’s a critical safeguard in high-risk environments like older industrial buildings or inaccessible ceiling spaces.
What to Expect from Our Building Demolition Process
Site Assessment and Planning
We begin with a full structural and environmental evaluation, including utility disconnect needs, hazardous materials, and permit requirements. Every project is mapped out for safety, efficiency, and compliance from the start.
Environmental Controls and Containment
Our team implements air monitoring, protective barriers, and dust suppression techniques. This includes our signature fogging method when asbestos or combustible dust is present.
Precision Equipment and Field Expertise
We prioritize matching the right equipment to the right job. That’s why our fleet ranges from high-reach excavators to compact demo tools. Our crews are also trained to work safely in tight, sensitive, or complex spaces—including utility corridors, aging facilities, and contaminated zones.
Debris Removal and Site Cleanup
We coordinate full material removal, recycling where possible, and final grading or site stabilization. You’re left with a safe, build-ready space and a full chain of documentation.
Integrated Division Coordination
As part of the Power & Construction Group family, KBH Environmental coordinates closely with our electrical division to manage power disconnections, gas line shutdowns, and pre-demo utility prep. That means demolition starts on time—with every safety box checked.
