At Concrete Pros, we make removing old, damaged, or unwanted concrete simple, safe, and stress-free for homeowners, property managers, and businesses throughout Lake Charles and the surrounding southwest Louisiana area. Whether you are clearing a cracked driveway, demolishing a deteriorated slab, or prepping a site for new construction, our team handles every step — from breaking and hauling to responsible disposal — so you never have to lift a finger. We leave your site clean and ready for whatever comes next.

Common problems we fix

  • Cracked and Settled Concrete Blocking New Construction — Old driveways and slabs that have cracked, settled, or heaved due to Lake Charles's clay soils and wet conditions cannot simply be poured over — they must be removed and the subgrade corrected before new concrete can be placed. We demolish the existing concrete down to the base, assess and address any underlying drainage or soil issues, and leave the site properly prepped so your new pour goes in on a solid foundation.
  • Storm-Damaged Concrete That Creates Safety Hazards — Hurricane damage, flooding, and storm debris impact left many Lake Charles properties with severely cracked, displaced, or structurally compromised concrete surfaces that pose tripping and liability risks. We respond efficiently to assess the damage, safely demolish the affected concrete, and haul everything away so homeowners and property managers can move forward with their rebuild or repair project without dealing with dangerous rubble on-site.
  • No Way to Haul or Dispose of Demolished Concrete — Broken concrete is extremely heavy and cannot simply be tossed in a standard waste bin — it requires specialized haul-away equipment and proper disposal channels that most property owners simply don't have access to. We handle the entire removal process from start to finish, including loading all broken material onto our trucks and transporting it to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities, leaving your property completely clear without any leftover mess.

Driveway and Slab Removal Done Right the First Time

Driveways and concrete slabs that have been damaged by root intrusion, soil movement, freeze-thaw cycles, or hurricane flooding are among the most common concrete removal projects we tackle throughout the Lake Charles area. Removing a full driveway or large slab is not a simple task — it requires the right breaking equipment, a crew that knows how to work around adjacent landscaping and structures, and the logistical capacity to haul away significant volumes of heavy material quickly. We manage every aspect of driveway and slab demolition professionally, protecting your property throughout the process and leaving the site level and ready for your next step once the job is complete.

  • Full driveway demolition and removal for residential and commercial properties
  • Concrete slab breaking and haul-away for patios, carports, and garage floors
  • Careful work around landscaping, fencing, and adjacent structures
  • Site cleared and graded after removal so new construction can begin promptly

Sidewalk and Walkway Concrete Demolition

Sidewalks and exterior walkways throughout Lake Charles properties are particularly vulnerable to damage from tree root growth beneath the surface, soil settlement caused by saturated clay soils, and the impact of storm events. When a sidewalk becomes uneven, cracked, or heaved to the point that it creates a tripping hazard or fails to meet accessibility standards, removal and replacement is often the most practical and cost-effective solution. Our team removes damaged sidewalk sections cleanly and efficiently, minimizing disruption to surrounding landscaping and ensuring that the edges and base are left in a condition that supports proper installation of the replacement surface. We work with homeowners, HOAs, and property management companies throughout the region on sidewalk and walkway removal projects of all sizes.

  • Removal of damaged, uneven, or root-damaged sidewalk sections
  • Clean cutting and breaking to protect adjacent surfaces and landscaping
  • Haul-away of all material with no debris left behind
  • Service available for residential properties, HOA-managed communities, and commercial sites

Foundation and Structural Concrete Removal for Renovation Projects

Renovation and reconstruction projects sometimes require the removal of old foundation elements, concrete piers, retaining walls, or other structural concrete before new construction can begin. This type of removal work demands careful planning to avoid damage to adjacent structural components or underground utilities, and it requires equipment capable of breaking through thick, heavily reinforced concrete. Our team approaches every structural concrete removal project with a safety-first mindset, evaluating the scope of work thoroughly before mobilizing, coordinating with your contractor or engineer as needed, and executing the demolition with precision. Whether you are rebuilding after storm damage or undertaking a significant property renovation, we have the equipment and expertise to clear the way for your new construction.

  • Removal of old foundation slabs, footings, and concrete piers
  • Breaking and demolition of retaining walls and structural concrete elements
  • Coordination with general contractors and structural engineers during complex projects
  • Full haul-away and responsible disposal of all demolished material
How does Concrete Pros remove old concrete — what equipment do you use?
We use professional-grade pneumatic breakers, electric demolition hammers, and skid steer equipment to efficiently break up old concrete driveways, slabs, sidewalks, and foundations. The method and equipment we choose depends on the thickness of the concrete, the amount of reinforcement present, and the proximity of the work area to structures, landscaping, and utilities. Once the concrete is broken into manageable pieces, we load it onto our haul-away vehicles and transport it to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities, leaving your site clean and clear.
Will concrete removal damage my yard, landscaping, or driveway edges?
Protecting your property during demolition is a priority for our team. Before we begin any removal project, we walk the site to identify landscaping, irrigation lines, fencing, and other features that need to be protected during the work. We use careful breaking techniques and appropriately sized equipment to minimize impact on surrounding areas. While some minor disturbance to adjacent grass or soil is normal during demolition, we take every reasonable precaution to keep that disruption to a minimum and leave the site as tidy as possible.
How long does concrete removal take for a typical residential driveway?
Most standard residential driveway removal projects in Lake Charles can be completed in a single day, depending on the size and thickness of the driveway and the volume of material that needs to be hauled away. Larger or more complex removal projects — such as full slab foundations or structural concrete — may take additional time. We provide a clear estimate of the expected timeline when we quote your project so you know what to plan for.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my property before your team arrives for concrete removal?
We recommend that you clear the work area of any vehicles, outdoor furniture, potted plants, or personal belongings before our crew arrives. If you have a sprinkler system or know of any shallow underground utilities running near the concrete to be removed, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. In Louisiana, we strongly encourage calling 811 to have underground utilities marked before any demolition work begins — this is a step we take seriously on every job.
Can Concrete Pros remove concrete and pour new concrete as part of the same project?
Absolutely — in fact, combining removal and replacement into a single project is one of the most efficient and cost-effective approaches for our customers. We can demolish and haul away your old driveway, slab, or sidewalk, assess and correct any underlying drainage or soil issues, and then pour your new concrete as part of a seamless project from start to finish. Working with one contractor for both phases simplifies communication, reduces overall project time, and ensures that the site preparation done after removal is exactly what is needed to support the new pour.
