Demolition

Southern Demo

Southern Demolition & Environmental, which trades as SD&E, is a full-service demolition and environmental contractor based on Bolton Road in Atlanta. It demolishes residential and commercial structures, handles asbestos inspection and abatement, and does soil remediation, underground storage tank and water well closure, grading and clearing, erosion control, deconstruction and right-of-way work.

Estimators price each job, and the company can secure the demolition permit as part of the work. Before demolition it runs a hazard assessment with materials staging and disposal planning, and it submits the written notice of intent to demolish required by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, which carries a 10-business-day notification period on both residential and commercial projects. Materials such as concrete, asphalt, unpainted drywall, doors, windows, trim, appliances, metals, wiring and framing are assessed for reuse or recycling before demolition, and salvaged architectural items are resold through the company's Deconstructed House and Vintage Bricks operation. Residential services include burned or damaged dwellings, driveways and garages, insurance claim filing assistance, EPD notifications and correcting code enforcement violations.

The company has handled commercial and residential demolition since 2008. It is a Georgia DOT and MARTA certified DBE, an FBE with Fulton County and the City of Atlanta, a CCR/SAM registered contractor, and a HUBZone and EDWOSB contractor. Licenses listed include Georgia asbestos abatement contractor, AHERA accredited inspectors, licensed abatement supervisors, Lead RRP certification and Level 1B soil and erosion control. Bonding runs to $2,000,000 aggregate, and insurance includes pollution liability, commercial general liability, commercial auto, workers compensation, inland marine and $3,000,000 excess. It has completed soil remediation for MARTA, the Atlanta Housing Authority and the City of Atlanta.

The crawled pages describe general demolition work and do not mention mobile home or manufactured home removal, salvage-based free removal, or per-home pricing. Two different phone numbers appear on the site. Confirm scope, coverage area and the right contact number before relying on the firm for park or community work.
