Final Basement Inspection & Hazardous Item Assessment
At 12:40 in
Live walk through of a House Demo
What happens here
Inside the exterior-accessed basement, the contractor points out the extremely low head clearance, making movement difficult. He identifies a gas line, an old water meter, and two old water heaters, all of which require special disconnection and removal. Scattered old porcelain sinks and two old toilets also need to be hauled away. He highlights a rare antique wringer washing machine, which, while historically interesting, must also be properly disposed of. These items collectively contribute to the complexity of the project and must be factored into the disposal plan. He also notes a paint can that will be subject to county hazardous waste rules, and he shows the exposed stone foundation walls covered in stucco.
Goal: Complete a thorough inspection of the basement for all items requiring special handling
