How Concrete Is Broken Up and Hauled Away

When Jeff Peck Enterprises arrives for a demolition job in Rochester, the crew begins by assessing the size and thickness of the concrete, checking for embedded utilities, and planning access routes for equipment. Concrete is broken into manageable pieces using pneumatic hammers or saws, and larger slabs are lifted with excavators or skid steers. The crew works methodically to avoid damage to adjacent structures, landscaping, or underground lines.

After demolition, you will see a cleared site with all concrete debris removed and the area graded to your specifications. Any remaining base material is compacted or removed depending on what your next project requires. The job site is left clean, with no jagged edges, rebar stubs, or leftover chunks.

The crew handles both small jobs like a single walkway and larger projects like full foundation removal. All material is disposed of responsibly, and the site is prepared for new installation, landscaping, or grading work. This service is often the first step in driveway replacement, patio upgrades, or new construction projects where old concrete must be cleared before moving forward.

Common Questions About Concrete Removal

Homeowners in Rochester often want to know how long demolition takes, what happens to the debris, and whether the crew can work around existing landscaping or utilities. These are the questions Jeff Peck Enterprises hears most often before starting a job.

How long does it take to remove a driveway or patio?
Most residential demolition projects are completed in one to two days, depending on the size and thickness of the concrete. Larger commercial slabs or foundations may take longer.
What happens to the concrete after it is removed?
All debris is hauled off site and disposed of at an approved facility. Jeff Peck Enterprises handles removal and cleanup so you do not have to deal with piles of broken concrete on your property.
Can you work around underground utilities?
Yes, the crew will locate and mark utilities before starting demolition. If lines run through the work area, they use hand tools or careful excavation to avoid damage.
Will demolition damage my lawn or landscaping?
The crew takes care to minimize impact by planning equipment routes and using mats or boards to protect grass and plants. Any minor disturbances are addressed before leaving the site.
Do I need a permit for concrete demolition?
Most residential demolition does not require a permit, but commercial projects or work near right-of-way areas may need local approval. Jeff Peck Enterprises can help you determine what is required in Rochester.
