Residential Case Study: Precision Selective Basement Demolition in Calgary
Makki Abatement completed a high-precision selective demolition project as part of a major residential renovation in Calgary. This project required the surgical removal of specific interior components to prepare the site for modern redevelopment while strictly preserving the home's existing structural integrity and high-end finishes.
The Scope: Renovation-Ready Interior Tear-Outs
In established Calgary neighborhoods like Kensington or Mount Royal, homeowners need a demolition partner who understands the nuances of aging structures. Makki Abatement delivered a comprehensive interior strip-out that included:
- Targeted Component Removal: Strategic dismantling of drywall, wood framing, drop ceilings, and outdated flooring.
- Non-Structural Stripping: Removing designated interior elements to create an open-concept layout for the upcoming renovation.
- Mechanical System Protection: Rigorous shielding of existing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical lines slated for reuse.
- Structural Preservation: All load-bearing components remained untouched and protected from vibrations during the concrete removal and tear-out phases.
Maintaining a Controlled Environment & Safety Compliance
Even in standard residential demolition, Makki Abatement applies the same rigorous safety protocols used in our asbestos abatement projects. Our "Clean Demolition" approach protects the indoor air quality of the upper living levels.
1. Dust Control Measures
Air scrubbers and poly-barriers prevent dust migration to occupied areas of the home.
2. Hazardous Material Awareness
Before starting, we recommend asbestos testing for older Calgary homes to ensure no hidden vermiculite insulation or lead paint is disturbed.
3. Material Separation
Following Alberta OH&S demolition checklists, we separate recyclable materials from general debris to minimize environmental footprint.
4. Alberta OH&S Standards
All work performed in full compliance with provincial safety regulations — ensuring a liability-free environment for the homeowner.
