Walls and ceilings
Before any wall is opened, we have the plaster, the drywall joint compound and any wall texture sampled, one layer at a time. Whatever tests positive comes out under containment, and the clean layers stay in place.
Remodel and Demolition Abatement in Apple Valley, Minnesota
Typical cost in Apple Valley
- Abatement for one kitchen or bathroom remodel$1,900 – $5,500+
- Abatement of a whole house before tear-down$9,500 – $28,500+
Opening walls for a new kitchen, adding a wing or knocking a whole house down can disturb old flooring, siding, window glazing, plaster and joint compound. Minnesota wants any asbestos gone before the renovation or demolition begins, and a house gets no pass on that. We handle that part, then turn over a tested and cleared space to your contractor or the demolition crew.
We work on remodels, additions and teardowns in Apple Valley, Rosemount and Empire.
Abatement by project
Kitchens and bathrooms
Gutting a kitchen or bath can hit tile, mastic, wall finishes and the ceiling in one go. We test each surface and, where the results allow, remove them all under one containment.
Full teardowns
Leave at least two days between the finished abatement and the day the building comes down. Asbestos left in a section that gets torn down turns every bit of that debris into asbestos waste, not just the piece that held it.
Apartments and commercial buildings
These need an MPCA notice ten working days before regulated asbestos is disturbed.
Demolition paperwork in Apple Valley, Minnesota
Apple Valley asks for two asbestos papers with a demolition permit application: a copy of the inspector’s report and a copy of the completed MPCA Notification of Intent to Perform a Demolition. The city also wants a site plan and the location of the sewer and water services, and it holds the permit until every document is approved.
The MPCA form
The city’s demolition page says the contractor sends this form to MPCA ten working days before demolition starts. Your copy then goes into the permit application.
Checking your contractor
Any company you hire should hand you copies of its Minnesota asbestos license and the MDH permit, plus the waste manifest records and the lab report on the air samples. That list comes from MDH’s hiring page, which tells homeowners to ask for it.
