The Process of Concrete Removal
The process of concrete removal begins with your contractor coming to your location with the right amount of men and proper tools to get the job done. They will then start by using either the jackhammer or the Bobcat with the hydraulic breaker to begin cutting the concrete into pieces. The contractor should have a dump truck on site where a Bobcat machine can pick up and drop off the concrete debris. Depending on the amount of concrete being removed, a job can take from 2 to up to 14 hours. Once all the concrete is cleaned up and loaded into the dump truck, the contractor will haul it away to a concrete recycler. Finally, the undesired concrete is removed, and you will have a fresh canvas to start a new project.
