Concrete Removal Service in Vancouver
Concrete removal is a tough and demanding job; that's why customers trust Ray's Asbestos to get the job done right. Our team is backed by years of experience on all types of concrete removal projects. From large-scale commercial concrete removal jobs to demolishing concrete structures, we provide concrete removal services to residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
Concrete removal begins with selecting the appropriate method for your site. Our team handles everything from concrete walkway removals to breaking down large slabs to concrete driveway removals and more. We plan every concrete demolition in detail. For smaller areas, we might use jackhammers or saws to cut and break the concrete into manageable pieces. For commercial concrete breaking, which often involves larger or reinforced concrete slabs, our crew utilizes hydraulic breakers, excavators, or robotic machines specifically designed for safe demolition in challenging spaces. Once the material is broken down, we remove and clean up any concrete waste, plus haul away debris, leaving your property ready for its next phase.
Our concrete services are often needed for renovations, property upgrades, structural changes, or when damaged concrete poses safety issues. We work with property owners updating outdoor spaces, businesses preparing for new construction, and contractors needing reliable demolition support.
Ray’s Asbestos delivers high-quality work and effective concrete removal on every job, so you can move forward with your future project without stress. Contact us today for your concrete removal plan and fair pricing.
Concrete Steps and Stair Removal
Old concrete steps or stairs can crack, settle, or become uneven, creating safety hazards. Our team removes damaged or unwanted steps to make way for new and safer entryways. We handle the demolition, debris removal, and site prep so your property is ready for upgrades.
Concrete Patio Removal
We provide concrete patio removal to prepare outdoor spaces for new designs or repairs. Our crew breaks and clears small to large-scale patio slabs. Perfect for homeowners planning to upgrade their landscaping or replace cracked and deteriorating concrete patios.
Concrete Cutting
Our concrete cutting service delivers precise cuts for remodeling, demolition, or utility access. We use professional-grade saws and cutting tools to create clean, accurate lines in slabs, walls, and other structures. This method reduces damage to surrounding areas and prepares concrete for safe removal or modification.
Our Concrete Removal Process
Site assessment & quote
We first visit the site, measure the thickness and area, check access, and look for rebar/mesh with a scanner. We also request utility locates. You receive a clear scope, estimated concrete removal cost, and schedule.
Permits & prep
If permits or strata notices are needed, we confirm them. We stage bins, plan truck access, protect nearby surfaces, and set up barriers and signage.
Safety & dust control
Our crew comes with the proper PPE, cordoned work zones, and water-suppressed cutting to keep dust down. For indoor work, we use HEPA vacuums and plastic containment to protect clean areas.
Marking & precision cutting
We score concrete slabs into manageable sections using diamond saws (handheld or walk-behind). For openings, we core-drill corners to prevent overcuts and keep edges clean.
Breaking & removal
Sections are then broken with electric jackhammers. Some demolition employs hydraulic breakers (skid steer/excavator). In tight or sensitive spaces, we use robotic demolition for added control.
Rebar separation
Exposed steel is cut with bolt cutters or a cut-off saw. Concrete and metal are sorted on site to speed loading and recycling.
Loading & hauling
Skid steers or loaders place debris into bins or dump trucks. We keep pathways clear and protect driveways and landscaping.
Recycling & disposal
Clean concrete goes to a recycling facility to be crushed into aggregate; metal goes to a recycler. Disposal tickets are available on request.
Final clean-up & handoff
We sweep, vacuum, and rinse hard surfaces. Backfilling and rough grading are available on request, so your site is ready for the next trade.
Typical timelines: Our seamless process has varying timelines, depending on the scale of the project.
- For small steps or patios, it typically takes just a few hours.
- For a typical-sized concrete driveway, it takes approximately a day or two.
- For a double driveway or thicker/reinforced slabs, typically it takes 1–2 days.
- For interior cuts/openings: 2–8 hours, depending on size and access.
Weather and access can also affect the timing of efficient concrete removal. Give us a shout if you have questions regarding our quick and seamless process. Or call us if you have questions regarding the approximate timelines of your project.
