Concrete Demolition and Removal

Slabs, footings, walls and pads broken out with hydraulic equipment, sorted for recycling and hauled away.

Concrete is strong, heavy and permanent, which is exactly why it is hard to remove. Slabs, pads, footings and walls need hydraulic breakers, cutting equipment and trucks sized for weight, and the work makes dust and noise that have to be managed.

We walk the concrete with you, check thickness, reinforcement and what lies underneath and plan the removal. We saw-cut clean edges where you want to keep neighboring concrete, break the slab into loadable pieces with the right attachment and separate rebar for recycling. Broken concrete is loaded and hauled to a recycler, and the base is graded, leaving a surface ready for new work.

Thickness and reinforcement

Four inches of plain concrete is a different job from eight inches with rebar and wire mesh. We probe and measure first so the equipment and the price match the work.

Saw-cut edges

When you keep part of a slab, a saw cut gives a clean, straight edge. It prevents ragged breaks and makes patching or new pours easier.

Weight and trucking

Concrete is heavy, and a small slab becomes many tons. Our concrete tool helps estimate the volume and tonnage so hauling is planned in advance.

Recycling

Clean concrete is crushed and reused as base material. Sorting it from trash and dirt keeps disposal costs down and keeps material out of landfills.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about the project, the timeline and any concerns, and we set a time to visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Walk the site

    We walk the structure and the lot, check access, utilities and likely hazards and take photos and measurements.

  3. 03

    Plan, permit and protect

    We prepare the written scope, coordinate permits, surveys and utility disconnects and set up fencing and dust control.

  4. 04

    Demolish and sort

    The work proceeds in a planned order with water on dust and materials sorted for recycling.

  5. 05

    Haul and clean

    Debris is loaded and hauled away on schedule, and the site is swept and kept tidy.

  6. 06

    Grade and walk through

    We grade the lot, sweep for nails and debris, take photos and walk the finished work with you.

Questions

Concrete Demolition and Removal FAQ

How thick is my concrete?

We measure with a probe or core at the walk-through. Thickness drives the equipment and the hauling.

Can you remove only part of a slab?

Yes. We saw-cut along the line and break out only what you want removed.

What happens to the broken concrete?

Clean concrete goes to a recycler, and we keep it separate from other debris to save cost.

Will the work damage nearby concrete?

We saw-cut and plan the breaking to protect what stays, though some edge damage can occur.

How long does concrete removal take?

Small patios take hours, and large slabs can take days. We give a schedule with the scope.
