When a building is destroyed, we tend to think that it is as simple as knocking down the structure and clearing away the rubble. But there is so much more that goes into the process than meets the eye. It requires a professional to do it.
For instance, environmental remediation in Des Moines requires the services of Iowa Demolition. There should be an understanding that removing an old structure carries with it a lot of variables and other issues that need to be resolved. All of which should be done safely.
Contaminants
For most structures, environmental remediation in Des Moines is required because we leave behind certain contaminants in any structure. It can apply to both surface and groundwater as well, having a lasting impact on the area if not properly dealt with.
But a remediation service works to remove any of those pollutants and contaminants from the area. There is an understanding that we should leave the property in a better condition, not simply knock the structure down and move on.
Remediation Services
That includes both soil and water remediation. Each demolition project removes contaminants in a soil cleanup effort. That means petroleum, coal ash, lead, and asbestos that may have impacted the soil. By cleaning these contaminants up, it leaves the local environment in a better condition and prevents potentially long-term issues from arising. The same goes with water. Contaminated water can be dewatered, treated, and pumped right on site.
