Asbestos Abatement and Demolition in Paterson, NJ

Asbestos Abatement · Paterson, NJ

One contract for the abatement and the teardown

Before a building comes down, any asbestos that would crumble in the teardown has to come out. TTL Services runs the whole job under one contract, as the general contractor. The asbestos abatement itself is performed by the licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with. Once the abatement is done and the town issues the permit, we take the building down.

The abatement sits inside a larger teardown, such as commercial demolition for a developer. Towns and counties also put this work out to bid as public jobs. Past jobs include a church building taken down after its asbestos abatement, for a Shore borough in Monmouth County. As a demolition contractor in Paterson, we take these jobs across New Jersey.

What We Handle

  • One contract and one point of contact for the abatement and the demolition
  • Abatement performed by the licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with
  • The work set in order: survey, notices, abatement, permit, then demolition
  • Demolition with excavators and grapples once the abatement is done
  • Public buildings bid out by towns and counties
  • Debris hauled after the teardown, with concrete and metal sent to recycling
  • Site restoration after the teardown, with the lot graded
  • A written quote after we look at the building and the asbestos survey

Who performs the asbestos abatement on a demolition job?

In New Jersey, a company that abates asbestos needs a license from the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Its workers carry state permits for asbestos work. The abatement on our jobs is performed by the licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with.

TTL Services is the general contractor and the demolition contractor on the job. We set the order of the work and keep one schedule, with one point of contact for you. Lead abatement and mold remediation are separate trades, each with its own contractors.

The order of asbestos removal before demolition in New Jersey

It starts with an asbestos survey by an accredited asbestos inspector. The survey shows where the asbestos is and how much there is. Federal rules require that inspection before a commercial or public building comes down. Houses with four or fewer units sit outside the federal rule, but the state's licensing and notice rules still apply.

The federal rule calls for written notice at least 10 working days before a covered demolition begins, asbestos or not. The abatement contractor also sends the state written notice at least 10 calendar days before the abatement starts. The agencies and the town's construction office have the final word on each step.

Then the licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with removes the asbestos. Under federal rules, it stays wet and goes into sealed, leak-tight containers. The town's demolition permit waits on the owner's word that the asbestos has been or will be abated. Once the town issues the permit, our excavators take the building down.

Asbestos in older buildings around Paterson and North Jersey

Much of the building stock here is old. About three in four homes in Paterson were built before 1980, by Census Bureau estimates. In buildings built through 1980, federal safety rules presume asbestos in pipe and boiler insulation. The same goes for sprayed-on ceiling plaster and fireproofing.

Public buildings follow an extra layer of state rules. When one comes down as public works demolition, New Jersey's asbestos subcode adds a permit and monitoring for the abatement. A monitoring firm watches the work, and its asbestos safety technician runs the final inspection and air tests.

When a town orders an unsafe building down, the federal rule has a separate path for asbestos. The parts that hold asbestos stay wet during the wrecking, and that debris goes out as asbestos waste. The licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with handles that asbestos. Emergency demolition covers the rest of the job.

How We Work

How a Job With TTL Services Runs

From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.

1

Call or text

Call or text (201) 673-5470 and tell us what has to come down and where. Photos, plans or bid documents help us read the job.

2

We look at the job

We look at the building and the lot, and how our machines will get in. We note what the building is made of and what stands close to it.

3

The quote in writing

The quote spells out what comes down and how the lot is left. We set the date once you say yes.

4

Before the teardown

Each utility confirms its connection is removed or sealed, and then the town can issue the demolition permit. Any asbestos that would crumble is abated before the teardown. A call to New Jersey One Call (811) gets the buried lines marked.

5

Teardown and a clean lot

Our excavators bring the structure down, and the debris is sorted and hauled. The lot is left graded, or dug for the new foundation when the builder is ready.

FAQ

Asbestos Abatement Questions, Answered

Common questions about asbestos abatement around Paterson and the rest of North Jersey. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (201) 673-5470

Does TTL Services remove the asbestos itself?
No. The licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with performs the abatement under its own state license. TTL Services is the general contractor and the demolition contractor. You sign one contract and keep one point of contact.
Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition in New Jersey?
For commercial buildings and larger apartment buildings, federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection first. For any demolition, the town's permit waits on the owner's word about asbestos that would crumble in the teardown. A survey by an accredited asbestos inspector is how the owner knows what is in the building.
How much does asbestos abatement and demolition cost?
The amount and kind of asbestos drive the abatement price. Pipe insulation takes different work than old floor tile or roofing. The size of the building and the debris load drive the demolition side. We look at the building and the survey, then put the quote in writing; call or text (201) 673-5470.
Do you take on asbestos and demolition jobs for towns and counties?
Yes. Public jobs for towns and counties are most of our work. One was a property abatement and demolition for a Bergen County borough, with the site restored afterward. The licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with does the abatement, and we take the building down.
What happens to the asbestos waste?
It stays apart from the demolition debris. The abatement contractor seals it wet in leak-tight containers and labels it. A registered waste hauler takes it to a registered landfill. Once the abatement is done, the rest of the building goes out with our demolition debris removal.

I needed a very thick concrete patio removed. After the first company I called packed up and quit after a few hours, Tailor showed up and got the job done in no time. Tailor really is a stand up guy and very trustworthy. Looking forward to working with them on future projects.
