Aberdeen and Brown County have a well-documented problem with aging structures. The state has put over a million dollars in demolition grants into Brown County sites — 33 locations across Aberdeen, Georgetown, Ripley, and surrounding communities — because the inventory of vacant, dilapidated, and hazardous buildings here is real and significant.
The Aberdeen police department building is one documented example: asbestos floor tile, black mold, water damage, and structural deterioration that required hazardous material assessment and abatement before three buildings on the property could come down. That’s not an isolated case in Brown County. It’s a pattern.
Older structures along the US-52 and US-62 corridor, and aging farm buildings and homes across Huntington Township’s rural terrain, carry the same risk. Pre-1980s construction in this county means asbestos, lead paint, and other hazardous materials have to be identified before demolition begins — not discovered mid-job.
S&S Construction assesses every structure before equipment arrives. We coordinate hazardous material handling, pull the right permits, and run the full job from teardown to final grade. Safe, compliant, and finished clean.

Demolition in Aberdeen doesn’t start when the excavator shows up. It starts with coordination.
Utility disconnection comes first — gas, electric, water, and sewer off and capped before any structure comes down. Ohio 811 utility locates are called on every job. Skipping either step creates safety incidents that shut jobs down and create liability that outlasts the project.
Hazardous material assessment follows for any pre-1980s structure. If asbestos, lead paint, or other regulated materials are identified, abatement is coordinated before demolition proceeds. Brown County’s aging building stock makes this a standard part of the process, not an exception.
Permits are handled upfront. Village of Aberdeen, Brown County, and Ohio EPA requirements vary by project scope — we identify what’s needed before work begins so there are no stops mid-job.
Demolition covers the full scope: residential teardowns, commercial structures, concrete slabs, foundations, driveways. All debris is hauled off site. Backfill and compaction follow where needed, and final grade is set clean.
One crew from first assessment to finished site. No separate contractors. No coordination gaps on Brown County’s rolling terrain.
An Aberdeen property owner on the US-52 corridor needed a vacant residential structure demolished and the lot cleared for new construction. Pre-demolition assessment identified asbestos floor tile requiring abatement coordination before teardown. We managed the abatement referral, pulled the required permits, demolished the structure, removed the foundation, and backfilled the lot to a clean, stable grade. New construction started on schedule with no site issues.
A Huntington Township landowner needed an aging barn and deteriorated outbuilding cleared from a rural property on Brown County’s rolling terrain. We assessed both structures, coordinated utility confirmation, demolished and hauled all material off site, and graded the cleared area back to usable ground. The property owner had a clean, level site ready for the next use within the agreed project window.

Yes. Pre-1980s structures in Brown County commonly contain asbestos and lead paint. We assess every structure before demolition begins and coordinate abatement with licensed contractors when hazardous materials are identified — before any equipment touches the building.
All included. We demolish the structure, remove the foundation if needed, haul all debris off site, backfill, compact, and finish grade. You get a clean, stable lot — not a cleared footprint with a hole in the middle.
Most residential demolitions take one to two days once permits are in hand. We handle the permit process upfront — Village of Aberdeen and Brown County requirements identified before work begins. No mid-job stops from missing approvals.
Both. We handle full structure teardowns and standalone concrete removal — slabs, driveways, sidewalks, and foundations. Concrete demolition is quoted separately from structure work based on thickness, size, and site access conditions.
Yes. We work across Aberdeen, Huntington Township, and the broader Brown County area. Rural site access, sloped terrain, and farm structure removal are all within our scope — equipment and approach are matched to the site conditions.
