Concrete Slab, Driveway, and Flatwork Removal

We remove all types of flat concrete. This is called flatwork removal. Over time, concrete driveways and patios crack and sink. When this happens, repair is often not enough. You need complete slab removal.

Common Flatwork We Remove

Here are the common items we remove across residential and commercial properties:

Next, let us look at the concrete itself. Some concrete is plain. Other concrete has steel bars or wire mesh inside. This is called reinforced concrete. We check for rebar before we start. This means that we bring the right tools to cut through the steel safely.

Residential Foundation Demolition

Sometimes you need more than a simple slab removed. If you are building a new room addition or an ADU, you might need foundation demolition.

Foundation removal is a bigger job than regular concrete breaking. Foundations hold up the entire house. They are thick and heavy. We remove stem walls, deep footings, and structural slabs. We use special heavy equipment for this structural demolition. Also, we protect the soil and the rest of your property while we work.

Demolition Methodology

How We Break and Remove Concrete

We use different methods to break concrete. We always choose the safest way for your property.

Hydraulic Breaking

We attach a large hydraulic hammer to a heavy excavator. This method is great for breaking thick foundations and large driveways quickly.

Diamond Sawcutting

We use a special saw with a diamond blade. This tool makes very clean cuts. We use it when we only need to remove a small part of a slab. It is perfect for selective demolition.

Confined Space Removal

Sometimes a backyard is very small. We use compact electric robots or small skid steers. This lets us remove concrete from tight spaces without ruining your grass or fences.

Regulatory Compliance

Sacramento Demolition Permits and Compliance

Demolition work in Sacramento requires special paperwork. We handle this for you.

City & County Building Department Jurisdiction

First, we check your location. The City of Sacramento and Sacramento County have different rules. We find out which building department controls your project.

Pre-1978 Asbestos & Lead Surveys (SMAQMD)

Next, we look at the age of your structure. Homes built before 1978 often need an asbestos survey or a lead paint survey. You must do this before you can get a permit. We also handle the SMAQMD notifications to protect the air quality.

Safe Utility Disconnects Coordination

Before we start, we make sure all utility lines are safe. We coordinate the disconnects for PG&E, SMUD, water, and sewer lines.

65% C&D Recycling & Landfill Diversion

Finally, Sacramento has strict recycling rules. The law says you must keep 65% of construction and demolition debris out of the landfill. This is known as C&D Recycling. We take the broken concrete to recycling centers. Then, we provide the proof needed to close out your city permit.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to remove a concrete driveway in Sacramento?

Yes, in most cases you need a permit to remove a driveway or sidewalk. We will check with the city to make sure you follow all the rules.

How do you know if concrete has rebar in it?

Sometimes we can tell by looking at the cracks. Other times, we make a small test cut. We prepare for rebar on every job just in case.

Will breaking concrete damage my house?

No. We use precision tools like diamond saws to cut the concrete away from your house first. This stops the vibrations from reaching your walls.

What happens to the old concrete?

We load it into our trucks and take it to a special recycling facility. The concrete gets crushed into small rocks and used again for new roads.
