Keep It Simple Junk

Keep It Simple Junk

When dealing with junk removal and deciding what you will and wont be getting rid of, it’s best to just keep it simple. No need to second guess it, you should just start dumping out items that you no longer need. Keeping it simple will help you alleviate your junk problem by getting rid of the non-essentials. If you haven’t used a particular item in more than 6 months, then chances are that you won’t be using it again and you should definitely dump it out and get rid of.

Of course the first thing you should get rid of is the trash that you definitely won’t need for anything unless you are a hoarder. If you are, that would be a whole other story where you would need some special help in order to overcome your fears and problems. Hoarding can be a dangerous habit to have which can not only be detrimental to your physical being but also to your mental state. Usually, a hoarder has very deep and cognitive problems that go beyond just the trash that they keep in their household.

So remember, this year or next when you begin your spring cleaning. Keep it simple and throw away things that you don’t require in your daily life. This will help save you a massive headache and stress!

Resolution Junk Removal

Disputes happen. Even if you’ve been studiously careful in selecting a demolition company something may go wrong and you could end up in a dispute with yourdemolition company. Here are a couple ways to resolve a dispute with a demolition company without going to court.

1. An informal meeting … You can do this either over the phone or in person. In person works best typically. Openly discuss your dispute with your demolition contractor and see if you cannot come to some sort of agreement. Be sure you read through your contract before hand. Make lots of notes and note what exactly what you want to talk about. Make sure you do more than just talk at your contractor. Make sure you listen to him as well. Avoid harsh language, name-calling, and negative emotions. People are less likely to offer solutions to a dispute or problem in the presence of emotion.

2. Mediation … Mediation involves you, a representative of your demolition company (probably the contractor himself), and a mediator. A mediator will discuss the situation, find the facts, and try to find a solution to your problem. Mediators can either by trained professionals or a neutral third party. In larger cities you can find mediation centers to help resolve your dispute.

3. Arbitration … Depending on your state you may also be able to resolve a dispute with your demolition company through an arbitration process. Not all states have an arbitration and you need to be careful. Some parties will only agree to arbitration if its binding which means that whatever decision is arrived at is final and won’t be appealed in court.

Of course, court is always an option if you have a dispute with your demolition company but court should be the last avenue to solving a dispute.

Floor Removal

Floor Removal

Removing an old floor can be a challenging thing to do especially if it’s old Linoleum with years of paste underneath it. The longer an linoleum tile stays stuck to the floor the harder it is to remove it. Sometimes the only option to remove old tiles like those are sheer brute force by destroying the tile completely. If your lucky, you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to get the tile warmed up and loosen the glue. By heating up the tile you can get the tacky glue to start to loosen and let go of the old tile. the most annoying part though is that glue might stay stuck on the concrete in which case you might have to adhere to other methods like a scrapper which can be time consuming.

On the other hand, if you are dealing with ceramic tile or wood then you can easily break those old pieces off and start the demolition process that way. Removing these old pieces of wood and ceramic tile can be very easy with the correct tools in hand. Using a sledgehammer which can demolish almost anything in sight is your best bet.

After you have your pieces and junk on the floor it’s quite easy to scoop it all up and dump it out. If you need to get a dumpster you should go ahead and schedule one or a junk removal services.
