When a slab, driveway, or patio is past repair, concrete demolition is the clean reset that protects your new build and your budget. Clermont Concreters has served Clermont since 2015, removing concrete safely, efficiently, and readying the site for the next phase.
Good demolition starts before the first cut. We locate utilities, plan access for equipment, protect adjacent surfaces, and set dust and debris controls. For thick slabs and reinforced concrete, we typically sawcut with a wet concrete saw to define clean edges, then break with an electric jackhammer or skid steer with a hydraulic breaker. After removal, we dig out soft spots, proof-roll when needed, and rebuild the base with compactable road base or #57 stone, compacted in lifts with a plate compactor so the next pour has stable support.
Central Florida soils and weather make drainage and base work non-negotiable. We watch for sandy subgrade that pumps under load, organic fill, and low areas that hold water, then correct elevation and slope before any replacement concrete goes in. If the next step is a new driveway or slab, we leave straight, sawcut edges for proper tying and formwork, and we can coordinate dowels, rebar, or wire mesh placement with your installer. For areas that will remain exposed temporarily, we grade smooth, remove trip hazards, and can place a thin layer of compacted base for safer, cleaner access.
Clermont customers choose us because we treat demolition like precision work, not a smash-and-go job. Our crew uses the right tools for the structure, including concrete saws for controlled cuts, demolition hammers for tight spaces, and machine-mounted breakers for speed on large placements. We prioritize jobsite safety, clear staging, and responsible hauling, including handling rebar and welded wire mesh, separating loads when practical, and keeping the site clean. You get straightforward communication, a written scope, and a plan that respects your property, schedule, and downstream construction.
At the end of the job we walk the site with you and confirm the area is removed to the agreed depth, edges are clean, and the base is left in the condition you requested, rough grade, fine grade, or ready for forms. We haul off broken concrete and debris, rake and magnet-sweep for steel fragments, and leave access points clear for the next trade. You receive a clear invoice that matches the written estimate, plus guidance on next steps like base thickness, compaction, and drainage considerations if you are repouring. If you need follow-on work, we can coordinate demolition with replacement concrete so your project stays moving.

Yes. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure so thickness, reinforcement, joints, and drainage are clearly defined.
Yes. Clermont Concreters is licensed and insured, and we can provide proof of insurance for commercial and property management projects.
Yes. We handle concrete demolition, sawcutting as needed, haul-off, and subgrade rebuild before the new pour.
When permits are required, we help identify the local requirements and coordinate paperwork and inspections as needed for the project scope.
Yes. We plan joint lines and elevations to create clean transitions, and we can dowel or key connections when appropriate for the application.
Concrete demolition is more than breaking up a slab. If the removal is sloppy, the next driveway, patio, sidewalk, or foundation can crack, settle, or drain poorly. Clermont Concreters approaches demolition as the first step of quality concrete work, with controlled cutting, safe breaking, full debris removal, and proper base prep so your site is ready for replacement concrete or landscaping.
Our concrete demolition process typically starts with a site check for access, drainage, and any nearby structures that need protection. We set a cut plan, then use wet sawcutting to control cracking and define straight edges at tie-in points. Breaking is matched to the job, from electric demolition hammers for stoops and walkways to skid steer mounted breakers for thicker slabs, driveways, and reinforced concrete. As the concrete comes out, we separate steel where practical and keep debris staged for efficient loading.
Removal is only half the job. We evaluate the subgrade and correct soft or contaminated material, then rebuild and compact the base in lifts to reduce future settling. If a new slab is coming, we can coordinate leaving the area at the right elevation for forms, thickness (commonly 4 inches for flatwork, thicker where specified), and reinforcement installation. For projects transitioning to pavers, turf, or gravel, we grade to the target finish and address drainage so water does not pond against structures.
You will know what you are getting before work starts: a written estimate that defines square footage, thickness assumptions, cutting needs, hauling, and base work. After demolition we do a cleanup pass, including raking and magnet sweeping for stray metal, and we walk the site with you to confirm the scope is complete. If you are planning a repour, we can also discuss timing, curing considerations, and the next steps to keep your concrete project on track.
