Dundas sits at the bottom of the Niagara Escarpment, and water runs off the slopes onto the valley floor. Ground that catches that much runoff stays wet longer. That changes how old concrete fails, and how we take it out. See our Dundas page for everything else we do in town.
The removal itself follows our usual method: utility locates before any machine digs, saw cuts where old concrete meets concrete that stays, mesh and rebar cut free, and the old concrete sent to a recycler. The full method is on our concrete removal and demolition page. This page covers what Dundas ground and Dundas homes change about that job.
Old concrete beside heritage homes
Dundas is a town of established homes, not new subdivisions. Behind the 19th-century downtown along King Street the housing runs to century brick and cut stone. Old steps, walks and parging sit tight against those walls.
Where old concrete meets a wall or a step that stays, we saw-cut the line first so the breaker does not chew past it. Near an old foundation we use jackhammers instead of a machine breaker.
Wet valley ground: look at the base once the slab is out
Water collects on the valley floor and Spencer Creek carries it through town. A slab that sat in that damp ground often tells you why it moved. With the old concrete gone, we check the gravel base under it before anything new goes in.
If water has been pushed toward an older wall, we tell you, and we can look at basement waterproofing in Dundas while the ground beside the wall is open. Where a lot has room for something new, see concrete driveways in Dundas and concrete patios in Dundas.
Booking removal in Dundas
Dundas books onto our Hamilton-area routes through the season, so removal in the Valley Town rides the regular weekly schedule. Small jobs, like one walkway or an old shed pad, are welcome.
A small machine needs about a 36 inch gate. Where it cannot get through, the concrete is broken by hand and carried out, which takes longer. We decide the machine path at the site visit, and we reply to every request within one business day.
Straight answers
Can you remove old concrete next to a heritage Dundas house?
Yes. We saw-cut the edge where old concrete meets concrete that stays, and use jackhammers close to the house. The aim is to take out the old work without damaging the brick or stone beside it.
Can you take out concrete in a backyard with a narrow gate?
Yes. Our smallest machines clear about a 36 inch gate. If there is no machine access, we break the concrete by hand and carry it out. It takes longer, so we put it in the written quote after the site visit.
How much does concrete removal cost in Dundas?
The thickness of the slab, how much mesh and rebar is in it, and how a machine reaches it set most of the cost. A flat rate posted online would only mislead you. You get a free written quote after a site visit, with breakout, hauling, disposal and grading itemized, and the number on the quote is the number you pay unless you change the job.
What happens to the old concrete?
Clean concrete goes to a recycler and is crushed into road base. The mesh and rebar are cut free of the slab first.
