A lot of concrete removal work can be done by hand or rented equipment. Typically concrete that is more than 4″ thick will need the work of a professional with the proper equipment. This saves time and money, as well as sore muscles and possible injuries. Then, there is always the question of how and where to dispose of the concrete, the underlying reinforcement materials and other debris found underneath existing concrete structures. Owners would also need a heavy-duty truck or trailer to haul off the heavy concrete pieces. KNB Services is here for those property owners who have concrete tear-out and removal projects that are too big to tackle on their own. We offer concrete removal services in the Greater New Orleans, Northshore, Baton Rouge, and Mississippi areas.
Concrete projects, such as slabs, patios, porches, building flooring, sidewalks, walkways, driveways (and many more concrete structures) were probably poured over forms and reinforcement materials, such as rebar, so this will have to be factored into the cost of any concrete removal project. Utility lines will need to be marked, if needed, prior to the beginning of the job to make sure they are not damaged. Water lines and plumbing pipes may also need to be pulled out to completely clear the site for any new construction project, or to install landscaping or hardscaping post-demolition and removal.
We take concrete removal projects step-by-step to make sure we have considered all aspects of the job both for your free estimate, as well as to anticipate any unforeseen issues when tearing out the existing concrete.
Site Assessment
Factoring in the possibility of underlying reinforcement materials, we assess the location of the concrete which needs to be removed to make sure that our equipment can access and then break up and remove all concrete and materials from the site.
Review of Utilities
If necessary, we will have the utility lines marked by the free service in the area, and we will review the known installation of piping below the structure with you before beginning any demo and removal of the concrete.
Site Prep
Site preparation includes defining the scope of the project and clearing out the area around the site. We also take preventative safety measures for both our crew and equipment.
Concrete Tear-Out & Removal
The actual concrete removal can require painstaking breaking up of the concrete into smaller chunks, digging up the concrete to break it away from underlying reinforcement materials, and then picking up the broken concrete to be hauled off.
Disposal From Tear-Out
We have multiple options of equipment to use to first break up, dig up, and tear out the concrete, and then haul off the debris from the site and load it into a truck to haul off. We offer extensive debris removal services for your property.
Site Clearance
Once all of the concrete has been broken and removed, and all of the debris from the project have been loaded up; we completely clear your site, so it’s ready for future use.
So, if you have a concrete demolition and removal project that is too large to take on alone, KNB Services is here for you – we offer free estimates – 504-650-1898!
