What Does Concrete Demolition and Concrete Removal Mean?

Concrete demolition refers to tearing down or destroying an existing concrete structure. Dismantling concrete may require the use of powerful concrete breaking tools like cranes, depending on the size of the structure. For smaller projects, a DIY concrete removal or repair is an option. Bigger demolition jobs involve construction hazards. Thus, the need to hire a reliable company to handle the work for you.

Concrete removal refers to the removal of a damaged concrete slab. If the damage only affects a few parts of a structure, we recommend concrete removal instead of demolition. We usually remove concrete slabs when the damage is severe and repairs are no longer possible. Once the removal of the old concrete slab is done, we install a new one.

When is Concrete Demolition and Removal Necessary?

Concrete surfaces can last for several years with proper care and maintenance. But, sometimes a complete demolition becomes necessary. Concrete demolition and concrete removal usually happen when the structure is old and severely damaged. Another cause is when there's a need to make space for a new structure.

However, there are other significant signs to look for, indicating structural damage. Any of these signs show the need for demolition:

• Large and deep cracks in the surface of the concrete structure.
• Foundational concerns because of earthquakes, soil settling, and other natural elements or disasters.
• Severe flaking on the concrete surface caused by corrosion, extreme weather conditions, etc.
• Signs of frost heave because of cold temperatures.

Our Concrete Demolition & Removal Services

Lakeland Concrete Contractors is your reliable concrete removal and demolition company. We provide such services across the Lakeland, FL area. You may particularly hire us for any of the following services:

Concrete Demolition

As mentioned earlier, demolishing concrete structures happens for various reasons. By hiring us for the job, you can rest easy knowing we have the skills and experience to do the job right the first time. We demolish concrete as carefully as possible. It is vital for us to plan ahead to ensure we miss nothing before we demolish concrete. On the day of demolition, we secure the area first before starting the job to ensure the safety of everyone on site. In addition, we ensure all underground utility lines are taken care of prior to dismantling. As general safety precautions, our team wears safety goggles, hearing protection, steel-toed boots, and proper demolition attire.

Concrete Removal

Does your concrete patio or concrete driveway show signs of major damage? Let us take care of it. When the damage is within a specific area only, we remove concrete instead. We break up concrete using different tools like a jackhammer, pry bar, and bolt cutters. We also use power tools like a metal cutoff wheel, angle grinder, and reciprocating saw. Similarly, we carefully dismantle the damaged concrete. We also ensure we get rid of wire mesh and reinforced concrete as precisely as possible. Apart from providing outstanding service, our company offers competitive concrete removal prices as well. We get the job done properly at a very reasonable price point.

Concrete Disposal

The next step after removing concrete is to deal with concrete debris. As your reliable concrete contractor, we can handle it for you. We take care of getting rid of demolished concrete debris as well. We clean up and bring broken concrete slabs and concrete chunks to the right facilities. As part of our commitment to sustainable practices, we send concrete debris to concrete recyclers. Your concrete waste will then still be useful. We charge very reasonable disposal fees. Comparing disposal costs from other concrete contractors, you'll find ours to be the cheapest. 

Concrete Demolition Methods

Every demolition job is different. Tearing down an entire building requires a different approach than removing an old concrete patio. In any demolition project, it is necessary to use a method that is appropriate for the job. That is why having an expert on board is crucial. 

At Lakeland Concrete Contractors, we are with you every step of the way. Upon consultation, we send over a team to assess the concrete structure. Depending on the assessment, our concrete experts will recommend the applicable approach to take down the structure safely and effectively. There are many demolition approaches available. They vary depending on the job requirement. These methods include:

Manual Demolition

A manual demolition job is a common method we use in smaller structures. It is a popular process we do to remove concrete surfaces like floors, driveways, and patios. For this process, we use common concrete breaking machines, like robotic hammers, angle grinders, and other tools. Since we work manually, this may take more time depending on the surface we are working on. Concrete breaks easily if the surface is not that thick. It's a different story, though, when we're dealing with thicker concrete slabs.

Ball and Crane Method

This demolition method is most commonly used in tearing down concrete buildings. As the name suggests, we use a ball to demolish concrete structures. We do so by either swinging the ball or dropping it into the structure. Unlike other processes, this creates lots of noise, vibration, and dust. It requires a highly experienced operator to administer the process.

Chemical and Mechanical Bursting

Both processes involve the splitting of concrete slabs. Either they place expansive slurry inside a set pattern of boreholes or they use a splitting machine that operates under hydraulic pressure. Also known as pressure bursting, these processes may be controlled. While methods are effective for tearing down concrete structures, they have significant differences as well. In particular, mechanical bursting is more inexpensive than chemical bursting. While chemical bursting can split concrete in a more controlled manner, mechanical may produce some noise and vibration. 

Dismantling Technique

This method cut concrete into smaller pieces using a saw. Then, we remove all broken concrete pieces using a crane. This method is ideal if you want minimal impact on your surroundings. It also emits lesser dust and is less noisy than other approaches. Dismantling is a technique that's ideal for tearing down concrete walls and slabs.
