Before new concrete goes in, the old concrete has to come out — properly, cleanly, and without creating problems for what comes next.

At JLB Concrete, demolition and removal is not just breaking and hauling. It’s a controlled process that protects surrounding areas, preserves the base where possible, and prepares the site so the new concrete performs the way it should in Yukon conditions.

Equipment and approach suited for the job:

  • Respect for surrounding property and access routes

Removing concrete properly is the first step to making sure the replacement lasts. We don’t rush this stage, because what’s underneath is what determines how the new slab will perform through freeze, thaw, and years of use.
