service disconnection
When undertaking the demolition of houses or commercial demolition you must first disconnect any services that are connected to the home or building. Disconnecting the services is essential for several reasons. It ensures safety by eliminating risks associated with live electrical wires, gas leaks, or active water connections, which could otherwise lead to accidents.
Disconnection of services is a legal requirement under Australian regulations, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards. It also prevents potential damage to surrounding infrastructure or properties, which could result in costly repairs or legal liabilities. Disconnecting services also helps protect the environment by avoiding leaks, spills, or contamination. By addressing these factors, the demolition process can proceed safely, efficiently, and responsibly.
The services required to be disconnected are:
- Water
- Gas
- NBN
- Telephone
- Foxtel
- Electricity connected to public mains and lines.
At Home Demolitions we take care of all service disconnection and site set up for you as part of our all inclusive demolition package. This includes everything from organising the disconnection with the relevant Service Providers/government authorities to the physical disconnection of the services by our skilled team members and frequently used subcontractors.
The process of service disconnection includes:
- Electrical system disconnection from mains, i.e. power pole to the connection on the house.
- Water disconnection and installation of temporary water systems needed on site for demolition.
- Telephone lines and foxtel are isolated.
- Help with disconnection from NBN (disconnection and removal of devices supplied by NBN CO have to be organised and completed by the title/account holder).
