What Triggers an Emergency Demolition?

It is not necessary for every building that is damaged to be demolished. Yet if a structure has become unstable or is unsafe to occupy, emergency demolition might be the safest course of action.

Our team at Done Fast Demolition analyzes the condition of the damaged structure and helps you determine whether certain parts need to be removed or a larger demolition is required.

Emergency

Fire And Smoke Damage

A fire can weaken walls, floors, roofs, and other structural elements, even in places that do not appear to be badly damaged. Once the property has been assessed, we remove the damaged areas so that it can proceed with restoration safely.

01

Storm And Exterior Structural Damage

Strong winds and downed trees can cause damage to roofs, walls, and other outbuildings. If a damaged building is likely to collapse or pose a hazard, emergency demolition may be necessary in order to eliminate the immediate danger.

02

Structural Failure And Unsafe Buildings

Cracks, partial collapses, or other serious failures may put both people and nearby properties at risk. In such cases, it might be safer to remove the damaged structure than to leave it in place and risk further damage.

03

Flood And Water Damage

Major flooding or prolonged water exposure can weaken floors, walls, foundations, and other structural elements. If the damaged materials can no longer be safely kept in place, demolition will have to take place before the next stage of the work can start.

04

Emergency Demolition Services in Calgary

Our 24/7 emergency demolition services in Calgary are designed for property owners who need an emergency demolition contractor in Calgary to respond to urgent structural damage. Our goal is to make the property safer while removing only what needs to be demolished.

Fire Damage Demolition

After a serious fire, damaged walls, ceilings, floors and structural components may no longer be safe. We provide controlled fire damage demolition in Calgary to remove compromised areas and help prepare the property for restoration. Once the immediate damage has been dealt with, our interior demolition crew can remove damaged walls, flooring, and other finishes.

Emergency Exterior Demolition

Sometimes only the exterior of a property is damaged and needs to be removed. This can include damaged exterior walls, roofs, porches, balconies, garages, or other outside structures. We assess the structure and plan the emergency exterior demolition around the site’s specific conditions. For non-urgent projects, our planned exterior demolition service is also available.

Emergency Structural Demolition

A building may need emergency building demolition when serious damage affects its main structural components. This can include major damage to load-bearing walls, beams, columns, or the foundation. Depending on the extent of the damage, we remove the affected section or demolish the structure.

Storm Damage Demolition

Harsh weather can leave buildings with damaged roofs, walls, additions, garages and other structures. Our storm damage demolition services help remove unsafe sections and clear the way for repairs or rebuilding.

Vehicle Impact Demolition

A vehicle can cause significant damage to walls, supports, garages, storefronts and other structural components, which may be compromised. We remove damaged sections that cannot safely remain in place.

Flood & Water-Damaged Structure Demolition

Serious water damage can impact the structural materials, flooring, walls, foundations, and other parts of a property. When affected areas are beyond practical repair, we remove the damaged structure so restoration can proceed.

Concrete & Damaged Foundation Removal

Cracked or severely damaged concrete and foundation components may need to be removed before repairs or reconstruction can begin. We handle the removal of damaged slabs, foundations, concrete structures, and related materials.

Hazardous Material Removal

Emergency demolition can expose materials that require additional precautions, particularly in older or heavily damaged buildings. When hazardous materials are identified, we take the necessary safety measures and coordinate appropriate handling and removal procedures.

Our Emergency Demolition Process in Calgary

An emergency demolition project needs more than simply bringing in equipment and tearing down a damaged structure. The work needs to be assessed, planned and carried out in a way that controls hazards and protects the surrounding property. Our process is designed to move the project from an unsafe situation to a cleared, manageable site as efficiently as possible.

01

Immediate Site Assessment

We start by looking at the condition of the structure and the surrounding areas. This helps identify visible risks, access concerns, damaged sections and the safest way to approach the work.

02

Site Safety & Stabilization

Before demolition starts, immediate safety concerns need to be addressed. We establish a controlled work area and take appropriate steps to reduce risks around the damaged structure.

03

Permits & Compliance

Emergency work still needs to follow applicable requirements. Depending on the project, permits, inspections, utility considerations and other requirements may need to be addressed before demolition proceeds.

04

Controlled Demolition

Once the site is ready, the damaged structure is removed in a planned and controlled manner. The demolition approach depends on the building, the extent of the damage, and the conditions identified during the assessment.

05

Debris Removal & Site Cleanup

After the structure has been removed, the site needs to be cleared so the property can move toward its next stage. We remove demolition debris and clean up the work area as part of the project.

Handling Hazardous Materials in
Emergencies

A damaged building can present hazards that are not obvious at first glance. Fire, flooding, structural damage or demolition itself can disturb materials that require additional precautions.

Hazards Assessment

Damaged areas are assessed for materials or conditions that may require special handling.

Control the Work Area

The affected area can be restricted to help protect workers, occupants and others from unnecessary exposure.

Proper Disposal

Hazardous materials should be handled and removed according to the requirements that apply to the material and situation.

Specialized Abatement

If hazardous materials require specialized abatement or removal, that work needs to be properly addressed before affected demolition can continue.

Emergency demolition is different from planned demolition because the condition of the building may not be fully known. Our team assesses the damaged areas and adjusts the demolition approach based on what we find on site.

We understand that emergency demolition is often the first step toward restoration or rebuilding. That’s why our team works efficiently to assess the situation, complete the required demolition, and help get the site ready for what comes next.
Access, utilities, surrounding structures, and the condition of the property can all affect how emergency demolition is carried out. We consider these site conditions before deciding how the work should proceed.
Different emergency situations require different demolition methods and equipment. We choose the approach based on the size of the structure, the damage involved, and the conditions at the site.
Emergency work does not stop when the structure comes down. We remove the demolished materials and clear the work area so the property can move on to repairs, restoration, or reconstruction.
