What Should I Know About Concrete Removal

Are you considering concrete removal at your home or business? If so, there are a few things you should know.

Even when it’s properly installed, concrete will often deteriorate and settle in time, leading to unsightly and sometimes dangerous cracks. Whether you’re struggling with a cracked driveway or a sinking patio or slab, we’ve gathered a few helpful tips to keep in mind when dealing with concrete removal.

Check out these three things you should know about concrete removal:

1. Signs You Need Concrete Removal: There are several signs your concrete needs removing, but a few of the more common ones include deep or wide cracking, raised concrete – also known as ‘frost heave’ – and settling or sinking from incorrect installation. When you start to notice these signs in your concrete, it’s important to contact a qualified concrete removal expert as soon as possible to make sure your concrete is removed before further damage occurs.
   
2. Not All Projects Are The Same: Not all concrete is placed the same and, therefore, it cannot all be removed the same either. From demolishing an old underground pool to digging up your driveway or patio, knowing the right process for removal is crucial to avoiding damage to your property that can cost you more money down the road. If you are not confident in how your project should be removed, please  contact an experienced concrete removal specialist to help.
   
3. Why You Shouldn’t DIY: Concrete removal can be a dangerous and messy job — especially if you do not have the right experience or equipment. By investing in a qualified concrete removal team, you can rest assured knowing the job will get done safely and quicker than if you were to do it yourself. In addition to getting the job done faster, a professional concrete removal company will also ensure your property is left spotless post project, so you won’t be left dealing with leftover debris for days.

Concrete removal can be an overwhelming process, and while these are only a few common questions homeowners have, there are a lot of factors that must be considered to ensure a successful project. When it comes to the quality and safety of your home, we always recommend seeking a professional to get the job done right.
