Concrete & Asphalt Removal in Eau Claire, WI
Removal of slabs, foundations, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and hardscapes
Concrete and asphalt removal is often the first step in correcting elevation problems, drainage failures, or outdated surfaces. Old flatwork rarely comes out clean on its own. Thickness varies. Reinforcement hides inside. Bases may be unstable or contaminated.
Serving West Central Wisconsin, 715 Excavating provides concrete and asphalt removal services in Eau Claire, WI, and surrounding communities. We remove existing surfaces so grades, bases, and drainage can be rebuilt correctly before new construction or paving begins.
Why Contractors and Property Owners Choose 715 Excavating
Depth and Reinforcement Awareness
We adjust equipment and methods based on slab thickness, steel content, and base conditions.
Grade and Drainage Focus
Removal is planned to support correct elevations and water flow after rebuilding.
Clean Transitions
Surfaces are left ready for excavation, grading, or base reconstruction without rework.
Integrated Site Capabilities
Removal ties directly into excavation, grading, and foundation preparation when projects expand beyond flatwork.
When Concrete & Asphalt Removal Is Needed
Concrete and asphalt removal is commonly required when:
This includes:
- Driveways or parking lots are cracked, settled, or poorly drained
- Slabs interfere with new construction or layout changes
- Foundations or pads must be removed before rebuilding
- Paved surfaces no longer meet elevation or access requirements
- Paved surfaces no longer meet elevation or access requirements
- Redevelopment or site reconfiguration is planned
Removing failing flatwork early prevents grade conflicts, drainage problems, and alignment issues during rebuilding.
Concrete & Asphalt Removal Services We Provide
Slab and Foundation Removal
We remove residential and light commercial slabs, pads, and foundations that no longer match site plans or drainage needs.
This includes:
- Driveway and sidewalk removal
- Garage and building slab removal
- Foundation and footing demolition
- Interior slab cutting and breakout
- Reinforced concrete removal
Removal exposes base conditions so elevations and drainage can be corrected before rebuilding begins.
Parking Lot and Paved Surface Removal
Commercial and multi-use sites often require removing asphalt and concrete paving before regrading or redevelopment.
This includes:
- Parking lot and access lane removal
- Loading dock and apron demolition
- Curb and gutter removal
- Hardscape and paved area removal
- Subbase exposure and correction
Removing paving allows grades, slopes, and drainage paths to be reshaped before resurfacing.
Hardscape and Site Feature Removal
Some projects require removing structural or decorative concrete tied into grading or access.
This includes:
- Retaining wall and edge removal
- Concrete steps and ramps
- Equipment pads and equipment foundations
- Utility encasement removal
Removal prepares the site for excavation, grading, or utility installation without carrying forward buried conflicts.
How Removal Supports Rebuilding
Concrete and asphalt removal is often followed by:
- General excavation to correct elevations and reshape grades
- Site work and grading to rebuild slopes and drainage paths
- Concrete & flatwork preparation to install new base systems
Removing old surfaces cleanly allows the next phase to begin on stable, correctly shaped ground instead of working around hidden failures.
Our Concrete & Asphalt Removal Process
Surface and Base Evaluation
We review slab thickness, reinforcement, base conditions, drainage behavior, and access before removal begins.
Controlled Breaking and Removal
Concrete and asphalt are broken, lifted, and removed in sections to protect surrounding structures and utilities.
Subgrade Exposure and Preparation
Once surfaces are removed, we expose base conditions so elevations, slopes, and drainage can be corrected before rebuilding.
