Interior demolition & clean demo in Red Deer
Small, contained tear-outs by a certified hazardous-materials crew, so your demo doesn't turn into a clean-up problem.
What is a clean demo?
A clean demo is a small or interior demolition done with containment and dust control, so the rest of the building stays clean. Think kitchen or bathroom tear-outs, drywall and flooring removal, or taking out a wall before a renovation. We work in tight spaces where big machines can't go and leave a broom-clean, ready-to-build space.
What do you take on?
- Interior demolition: drywall, plaster, ceilings and non-structural walls
- Kitchen and bathroom tear-outs
- Flooring removal: tile, vinyl, carpet and subfloor
- Basement and renovation prep demolition
- Commercial interiors: offices and retail units
Why hire an abatement crew for demolition?
Older buildings hide things. Drywall compound, floor tile, ceiling texture and insulation in many pre-1990 Alberta buildings can contain asbestos. Alberta's OHS Code requires materials that could release asbestos fibres to be removed before a building is demolished, and Alberta OHS must get 72 hours' notice before certain demolition or renovation work involving asbestos.
Most demo crews aren't set up for that. Rawk J is a hazardous-materials company first, so we spot the risk before the first swing. If we find asbestos during a demo, we stop, contain it and remove it to Alberta's abatement standards before demolition continues.

Controlled tear-out
Hand tools and the right equipment, not heavy machinery.
Debris haul-away
Debris is bagged, carried out and hauled off site.
Clean-up
Swept and vacuumed to broom-clean, ready for your next trade.

Clean demolition questions
What is a clean demo job?
A small or interior demolition done with containment and dust control, so the rest of the building stays clean.
Do I need an asbestos test before demolition?
If the building was built before 1990, it's strongly recommended. Alberta requires asbestos materials that could release fibres to be removed before demolition. We can test, remove and demolish under one roof.
Do you haul away the debris?
Yes. Debris removal and a broom-clean finish are part of the job.
Do you do commercial jobs?
Yes: offices, retail units and other commercial interiors, as well as homes.
How much does a small demolition job cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the materials coming out and how much debris there is. Estimates are free and come with a clear price before any work starts.
What areas do you cover?
Red Deer and Central Alberta, including Blackfalds, Penhold, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Innisfail, Bowden, Delburne, Elnora and Rimbey.
