A Nicholasville, Kentucky company, CMS Environmental Services, is taking apart the home piece-by-piece. 



After months of planning, crews have started dismantling a home in Louisvilles Highview neighborhood where dangerous chemicals and explosives were found in July.

Work finally started this week in Louisville's Highview neighborhood after months of meetings and planning.

The EPA began the demolition process by removing structural parts of the home.

The process will be done in increments, including removing the home's roof and walls, and using an excavator to scoop out the materials inside.

The home in Highview filled with chemicals and explosive substances is now being torn down.

After deciding not to do a controlled burn, officials are preparing to do a demolition of the property filled with explosive substances and chemicals on Applegate Ln

The city originally planned to burn the home down but the EPA said this would be a safer option.

Officials say the work should take around 10 days to complete.

The house on Applegate Lane is scheduled to be knocked down the week of Oct. 16.
