✦ Concrete Removal & Replacement
Replace Failed Concrete With a New, Properly Prepared Surface
PaveTech Solutions provides concrete removal and replacement for parking lots, sidewalks, drive lanes, slabs, entrances, and other paved areas throughout Wisconsin. We assess cracking, settlement, surface deterioration, drainage, slab condition, and underlying support to determine whether localized replacement or a larger reconstruction area is appropriate.
When Concrete Damage Extends Too Deep for Surface Repair
Deep cracking, severe deterioration, settlement, or full-depth failure can make localized surface repair impractical. Removal and replacement allows the failed slab or section to be removed, the supporting area to be corrected where needed, and new concrete to be installed over a properly prepared surface.
✦ Concrete Removal & Replacement Services
Remove the Failure. Rebuild the Concrete.
Concrete replacement may involve slab removal, base correction, grading, elevation adjustments, new concrete placement, jointing, and curing. The scope depends on the depth and limits of the failed area.
Removal & Base Prep
We review the failed concrete, remove the approved repair area, and evaluate the supporting material so unsuitable or disturbed areas can be corrected before replacement.
Grading & Concrete Placement
We prepare the replacement area to match surrounding elevations and drainage needs, then place new concrete based on the approved project requirements and site use.
Jointing, Finishing & Curing
We coordinate joints and saw cuts to manage concrete movement, then finish and cure the new concrete before reopening the area based on strength development and project conditions.
✦ Concrete Replacement Applications
Signs Your Concrete May Need Removal & Replacement
Replacement may be appropriate when deterioration extends too deep or affects a large enough portion of the slab that localized surface repair is no longer practical.
Deep or widespread cracking
Broken concrete slabs
Severe settlement or uneven surfaces
Full-depth deterioration
Large areas of spalling or breakup
Failed previous concrete repairs
Significant joint or edge failure
Slabs with unstable or damaged support
✦ Our Process
How We Remove and Replace Failed Concrete
Evaluate
We review the damaged concrete, settlement, drainage, joints, surrounding slabs, and visible signs of deeper failure.
Remove & Prepare
We remove the approved concrete section and address base, grading, drainage, or support corrections as needed.
Place & Finish
Our team installs and finishes the new concrete according to the approved project requirements.
Joint, Cure & Reopen
We complete the required joints or saw cuts, protect the new concrete during curing, and provide guidance for reopening the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is concrete removal and replacement?
It involves removing failed concrete through the required depth, preparing the supporting area, and installing new concrete in its place.
How do I know if concrete should be replaced instead of repaired?
Deep cracking, severe settlement, full-depth deterioration, broken slabs, or repeated repair failures may make replacement more appropriate than localized repair.
Can only one section of concrete be replaced?
Yes. Localized slabs or defined failed areas can often be removed and replaced when the surrounding concrete remains serviceable.
What happens to the base after the old concrete is removed?
The exposed support area can be checked for disturbance, weakness, drainage problems, or settlement and corrected when necessary before new concrete is placed.
Why are joints important in replacement concrete?
Joints help manage concrete movement and create planned locations for cracking as the slab shrinks, expands, and contracts.
How long before replacement concrete can be used?
Reopening time depends on the concrete mix, strength development, weather, slab thickness, and project requirements.
Is slab replacement better than multiple small repairs?
When deterioration affects much of a slab or extends through its depth, replacing the failed section may be more practical than making several smaller repairs.
