Concrete Demolition in Shelby County, IA

When should I remove concrete instead of repair it?

You should consider replacing your concrete if it has any of the following:

• Several cracks - deep, wide cracks that are uneven or settled on one side
• Frost heave - sections of the concrete are pushed up due to frost that occurs in colder climates
• Settled concrete - caused by the sub-grade's improper preparation

You may be able to get away with simply replacing the concrete if it only has:

• Hairline cracks - small, thin cracks with no evidence of settling
• Sunken concrete - caused by heavy equipment or load (e.g., a heavy dumpster) that was placed on the concrete

What affects concrete removal costs?

Concrete removal costs vary by:

• Amount of concrete that needs to be removed

• Disposal fees at your local landfill or recycling facility

• Location (how easy it is to access, its proximity to the company and the landfill/recycling facility, etc.)

Save money by recycling. In general, recycling fees are lower than dump fees, and it helps the environment, too!
