Crown Point Indiana Concrete Removal Companies

Older driveways near the square in Crown Point, Indiana are past patching once the slab breaks into loose pieces. Wide scaling and a heaved joint mean the same thing. A patch cannot lock onto concrete that keeps shifting. So Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point start by looking at the whole slab.

Houses around the historic square still sit on walks and drives from the first pour. After enough winters, those slabs show the same wear. But edges crumble along the grass. Sections tilt at the joints. When tires swing in, the surface turns to gravel. We have pulled up drives that had gone thin in the wheel path. Then the owner wants a new pour, and the old concrete has to come out first.

New Drives After Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point Finish the Tear-Out

A new drive should sit flat and drain toward the street. Then it should meet the garage without a bump. We pour the front walk with the drive when both have failed. But a broken service walk next to new concrete still trips people. You can see finished drives like that in our photo gallery.

We also replace upper walks when the side path has failed. Garage floors come up in that talk too. People ask once they see the apron cracked at the door. For example, deep pitting calls for a full pour-back. A hairline crack in the corner can wait.

We have found cold patch packed into the same joint year after year. The joint kept moving. So the patch could not bond. We still do patch work when a small area has spalled and the slab under it is solid.

We stop our cut at the public walk unless you hired us to replace that section too. We measure the porch step before we break anything out. The new walk has to meet that step without a lip.

Around the square, we have found the concrete under a patch already failing. Water enters a joint and freezes there, and the edge pops. After that, winter salt scales the surface that remains. Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point find that scaled surface on walks near the square.

How Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point Clear the Old Slab

Tearing the old concrete out is the first job before a new pour. Houses around the square make that plain. Decades of freeze and thaw have broken the original walks and drives into pieces that rock underfoot. So we saw-cut a clean line where new work will meet concrete that can stay. Then we break out the failed sections, and that break-out is the demolition. Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point haul the broken concrete off with the tear-out.

We handle the full tear out and replace on these jobs. We break the slab and load it out. Then we grade a base for the new pour. People call us about the house drive and the service walk.

After the base is graded, Concrete Removal Companies in Crown Point pour the replacement. We can add stamped concrete or a colored walk if it should match the house. Because the lot is tight, forms have to meet the porch step and the garage. Service walks can join our concrete removal companies work on that visit.

Cabe’s Concrete is a family owned company and has worked this trade since 2006. The people who walk the job write the quote out line by line. Because staff on the crew have spent years in the field, they spot a bad edge before the pour. More on the crew sits on our About Us page.

Before the pour, we check the stone base so water does not sit against the garage. Then control joints go in while the mud is still workable. They give the slab a straight line to crack along later. When the forms come off, the walk and the drive should meet the old edges we left in place.
