Concrete Removal & Haul-Away What Homeowners Should Know Before Starting Construction
Old driveways, patios, walkways, and foundations need to be removed before new construction can begin. While concrete looks simple to break, it requires heavy equipment, skill, and proper disposal to complete safely.
Why Professional Concrete Removal Matters
DIY removal often leads to
- Uneven site preparation
- Incomplete slab removal
- Damage to underground utilities
- Safety hazards
A professional contractor uses saw cutting, breakers, skid steers, and hauling trucks to ensure the job is done cleanly and efficiently.
Concrete Haul-Away Requirements in California
California has strict rules on:
• Concrete waste handling
• Recycling requirements
• Disposal locations
• Dust control and environmental compliance
A licensed contractor ensures adherence to these regulations.
