Local Knowledge

What to know in Elmira.

Permits, utilities, and what is inside the building.

Demolition in Elmira

Elmira and Corning sit along the Chemung River, and much of the housing in both cities was built before 1950. Older houses usually mean asbestos siding, flooring, or pipe wrap that has to come out before the teardown. We hold the NYS DOL asbestos license, so the survey, abatement, permit, teardown, and backfill stay on one contract. Electric and gas disconnects go through NYSEG.
