Asbestos Abatement Demolition in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Older buildings in Metro Detroit can contain asbestos in steam and hot water pipe insulation, floor tile, siding, roofing, and textured paint and patching compounds on walls and ceilings. Tearing a building down with those materials in place releases fibers into the neighborhood. The fix is sequencing: inspect, abate what must be removed, then demolish.
For commercial buildings, apartment buildings with more than four units, and homes demolished as part of a larger development, the federal asbestos rules require a thorough inspection and an online notice to EGLE at least ten working days before demolition. A single house is often outside those rules, but local permit offices may still require a survey and it is the safe way to plan. For abatement details, see asbestos abatement.
What a proper job includes
- Inspection by a state accredited asbestos inspector
- Written survey listing materials, locations and quantities
- EGLE demolition notification filed when required
- Abatement by a MIOSHA licensed contractor with required notices
- Containment, wet methods and sealed disposal
- Documentation that abatement is complete before demolition

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Under the federal asbestos rules administered by EGLE's Air Quality Division, covered demolitions need a thorough asbestos inspection before work and an online notification at least ten working days before demolition starts. Privately owned residential buildings with four or fewer units are excluded unless they are part of a larger project such as a development or urban renewal project.
Asbestos abatement contractors are licensed and workers accredited through the MIOSHA Asbestos Program, which also receives abatement project notifications. Check the license and accreditation in the MIOSHA search. In Detroit, the wrecking permit comes from BSEED.
