Concrete Demolition in St Albans, ME

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

Can I remove concrete myself?

Handling concrete removal yourself can save you money, but it can also be backbreaking and dangerous work.

Plus, if you plan on hiring a contractor to pour new concrete, handling the concrete removal yourself might actually end up costing you more in disposal fees.
