Before you apply
Sort out who produces the abatement report, since the permit page wants it with the application. The survey by an accredited inspector comes first, because the report builds on what it finds.
Pre-Demolition Asbestos Abatement in Renton

Taking down a Renton house, garage or small building? The asbestos work comes first, and it has a fixed order. We line up the survey, the agency notice and the removal, so that demolition can begin when the 10-day wait is over.
On Renton’s demolition permit page, the documents to submit include a signed application, a site plan and an asbestos abatement report from an approved asbestos remediation company. Applicants are also told to check whether the Clean Air Agency needs a notice. We prepare teardowns in Renton, Bryn Mawr-Skyway and East Renton Highlands.
From permit to teardown
Survey and removal
Crumbly asbestos comes out before any wall does, using wet methods and sealed containers. Hard materials such as intact tile are removed carefully too.
The agency’s notice
Roofs over 120 square feet trigger the agency notice whether or not asbestos turns up. Ten days must pass after you file it, so file early.
Sheds and partial teardowns
A detached garage counts once its roof passes that size. Taking down only part of a building raises the question of whether it is demolition or renovation. Either way, the part coming down is surveyed first.

Timing
Plan the survey, the report and the notice before you book a demolition crew. The 10 days run from the notice, so it goes in early.
