Let's Break it Down
Each residential demolition project comes with its own set of challenges and requirements. There are environmental regulations to follow, provincial standards, as well as multiple local bylaws to observe. These bylaws change from city to city – and sometimes, neighbourhood to neighbourhood. A good demolition company needs to fully understand exactly what is expected of them and comply with these requirements.
At YORK1, we perform residential demolition projects across Ontario and throughout Canada. We also have experience demolishing neighbourhoods and complexes, such as the William Baker neighbourhood in Toronto which needed to be demolished due to asbestos and environmental concerns. In this case, the land was successfully restored to a park-like setting to prepare for the next phase of development.
Residential demolition must be completed properly in order to ensure the site can be used in the future, whether it be immediate or long-term developments. If a developer is looking to demolish a house in order to rebuild one on the same site, the demolition must be completed ensuring that all utilities serving the house remain in place and the land is filled in a way that will allow for redevelopment.

YORK1 specializes in total demolition of all types of structures. If you’re looking for a company to execute a timely and professional residential demolition, we can help.
We also work to dispose of any environmentally hazardous materials like asbestos, lead, mercury, and mould that are likely present in older homes being demolished.

- Verification and disconnection of services
- Arranging for the sampling testing and identification of suspected materials

- Inspections and documentation
PROJECTS WE'VE WORKED ON:
William Baker Neighbourhood
This project involved the asbestos abatement and demolition of 81 former military single-family dwellings at the former Downsview Army Base. All asbestos was removed from each house following type 2 & 3 removal procedures. The houses underwent demolition, the neighbourhood's utility services were removed, and the basement spaces were backfilled and compacted. Subsequently, topsoil was distributed, the ground was terra-seeded, and the area was transformed into a park-like environment, priming it for the upcoming redevelopment phase.
Alexandra Park
Abatement, demolition and site remediation of over 100,000 SF of 5 multi-story housing complexes. Site removals included all structures, below-grade foundations/footings, trees, site services including duct banks and vaults, and remediation of impacted soils.
FIRGrove Crescent
The project included asbestos abatement and the demolition of 12 buildings, which included residences, parking structures, a day care center, a community center, and a swimming pool. Additionally, it involved the processing and disposal of all construction and debris waste, as well as the recycling of all scrap steel.
