When it comes to concrete removal, it is a simple straightforward process if you know what to expect.
Breaking up concrete yourself might save you money, but it can be time-consuming and backbreaking work.
Plus, if you’re hiring a contractor to pour new concrete, handling the demolition yourself may actually end up costing you more in waste disposal fees.
First things first—deciding which approach is best for your concrete project.
Primarily, complete concrete demolition & removal is your best option if any of the following are occurring on your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or slab:
Simply repairing the concrete may be the more cost-effective and faster option in some situations for instance:
Yes. Many metro areas have a waste recycling yard where you can take your concrete for disposal, keeping it out of the landfill.
Concrete recyclers crush the concrete and reuse it as an aggregate in new cement.
If you’re demolishing the concrete yourself, renting a skip bin will be your best bet for recycling/disposing of the concrete.
There’s more than one way to break concrete, so if you’re a beginner, choosing the right tool for the job might seem to be very overwhelming.
This is the go-to concrete breaking tool for many DIY.
A 12 lb. sledgehammer may not seem like much, but it can go a very long way.
If your concrete is greater than 100cm thick (which is very common) or less and doesn’t cover a large area, try a sledge hammer before renting heavier equipment.
You’ll know quite quickly whether or not you will need something with a lot more power.
Quite a bit of equipment falls under the umbrella term ‘jackhammer,” which is essentially a pneumatic hammer (i.e. it’s operated by air).
These tools—and the air compressors that power them—come in all shapes and sizes.
Even the drill bits on the end are interchangeable (wide chisels, narrow chisels, pointed chisels, etc.).
