Breaking up concrete costs between $1,500 and $2,500, according to the national average. However, concrete removal project expenses can vary depending on square footage, the thickness of the slabs, whether or not you hire outside labor and whether or not the concrete is reinforced, among other factors.
Power tool rental is also a potential expense to consider. Rental rates for jackhammers and pneumatic breakers can vary widely depending on the local tool retail options available to you.
Removing slabs of concrete may seem like a daunting task, but the right plan and the correct tools make it a manageable process. If you’ve made the necessary preparations, concrete removal is a simple matter of gathering your tools, assessing the site, breaking the surface apart and cleaning up the fragments.
