Concrete Demolition & Removal in San Fernando, CA
WHAT WE DO
California's green building code requires covered construction projects to recycle or salvage at least 65% of their nonhazardous construction and demolition waste, and broken concrete ranks among the easiest materials to divert. INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC.
provides concrete demolition and removal in San Fernando, CA, saw-cutting clean edges, breaking out driveways, patios, slabs, walkways, and walls, and hauling every load off site. A typical driveway comes out in 1 to 2 days. We are family-owned and take on residential and commercial jobs.
WHERE WE CLEAR
Tight Lots Leave No Room for Guesswork
Many homes around the Valley sit on narrow lots, with a single side yard as the only route for equipment and debris. Older slabs may also hide thickened edges, heavy rebar, or a second layer of concrete below the first. We map access, protect fences and landscaping, and keep in mind that California law requires an 811 notice at least 2 working days before any excavation. That planning applies to a tight side yard in San Fernando, CA, a hillside home in Encino, CA, or a historic neighborhood lot in Pasadena, CA.
Concrete We Break Out, Load, and Haul Away
From a single cracked walkway panel to a full commercial parking pad, every removal job starts with deciding exactly what must go and what has to stay intact beside it.
01
Driveway Demolition
Most driveway tear-outs take 1 to 2 days. We saw-cut where the driveway meets the garage slab, sidewalk, or street apron, break the field into manageable pieces, and load everything for hauling so the site is ready for base work.
02
Patio Removal
Backyard patios often sit beside planters, pool coping, and house walls that must stay untouched. Controlled breaking works from the outer edge inward, lifting pieces away from the foundation while we shield nearby plants, fences, and exterior surfaces.
03
Slab and Pad Removal
Old shed pads, equipment slabs, and abandoned hot tub bases take up space you could use. We break them out, pull any embedded rebar or wire mesh, and remove material down to soil, leaving open ground for landscaping or new construction.
04
Walkway and Sidewalk Removal
Lifted walks and cracked garden paths come out section by section. A full-depth saw cut at each end separates the damaged run from panels that remain, so a new pour can tie in cleanly against a straight, sound edge.
05
Concrete Wall Removal
Freestanding garden walls, planters, and low poured or block walls are taken down from the top in stages. Working downward keeps falling material under control, and footings come out as well when the space is headed for a new use.
06
Commercial Concrete Demolition
Parking areas, loading pads, and storefront walks require planning around customers and staff. We set firm timelines, mark off work zones, and phase the removal so entrances stay reachable while damaged concrete is cut, broken, and trucked away.

What Our Customers Say
Signs Your Concrete Needs Removal, Not Another Patch
Repairs make sense when damage is shallow and isolated, but certain conditions mean the slab has failed at its base or throughout its depth, and patching will only delay the same problem while costing you more.
01
Wide or Growing Cracks
Hairline cracks are normal, but cracks wider than about 1/8 inch often signal movement in the ground below. When those gaps keep lengthening or new ones branch off each season, filler will not hold, and full replacement becomes the practical option.
02
Sunken or Heaved Panels
Sections that drop or lift create trip hazards and point to a failed base, eroded soil, or tree roots underneath. Leveling one panel rarely fixes a widespread settlement problem, so removal lets the subgrade be corrected before new concrete goes down.
03
Widespread Spalling
Flaking, pitting, and crumbling across large areas mean the top layer has broken down. Small spalled spots can be patched, but once scaling covers much of the surface, overlays struggle to bond and removal usually produces a longer-lasting result.
04
Water Draining Toward the House
Slabs that tilt toward a foundation send every storm straight at your walls. Sealing cracks will not change the pitch. Tearing out the concrete and pouring it again with correct slope is often the only way to redirect that water.
05
Rust Stains and Exposed Rebar
Orange streaks bleeding through the surface suggest the steel inside is corroding. Rusting rebar expands, cracking the concrete around it from within, and once reinforcement shows through, the slab has lost much of its structural protection and should come out.
06
Patches That Keep Failing
Filling the same failed spot every year or two shows the underlying cause was never addressed. Rather than paying for another round, removing the section exposes the real problem, whether that means soft soil, poor drainage, or missing joints.
WHO WE ARE
What Stays Standing Matters as Much as What Goes
Anyone can swing a breaker, but careful demolition protects the foundation, walls, and plantings you want to keep. We work under California State License #1128122 and treat removal as the first step of a better project, not a separate chore. We break concrete in controlled sections, keep dust down while cutting, and leave the site graded and swept. Clear timelines and steady communication come standard from the first call to the last load. Use our contact page to describe what needs to go and request an estimate.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
How do you break up a concrete slab?
Saw-cutting outlines the removal area, then jackhammers or hydraulic breakers split the slab into manageable pieces. Rebar and mesh are cut loose, and the rubble is loaded for hauling. Thicker or heavily reinforced concrete takes more cutting before it breaks.
How long does concrete demolition take?
Driveway removal usually takes 1 to 2 days. At INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC., our team in San Fernando, CA, completes smaller patios and walkways faster, while large commercial slabs or thick, reinforced concrete may need additional time for cutting and hauling.
Can old concrete be recycled?
Yes. Crushed concrete becomes recycled aggregate for road base, drainage fill, and trench backfill. Under CALGreen, covered projects must divert at least 65% of nonhazardous construction and demolition waste from landfills, and broken concrete counts toward that target.
Can you remove just part of a concrete slab?
Partial removal works well when damage is confined to one area. A full-depth saw cut separates the section being removed from the concrete that stays, leaving a straight, clean edge for new concrete to meet without chipping the remaining slab.
When should concrete be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement makes sense when cracks are wide or spreading, panels have sunk or heaved, spalling covers large areas, or water drains toward the house. Isolated hairline cracks and small chips, on the other hand, can usually be repaired successfully.
Will concrete demolition damage my house or yard?
Not when the work is planned carefully. INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC. saw-cuts separation lines along foundations and walls in San Fernando, CA, breaks concrete in controlled sections, and protects plants and fences, so the areas you are keeping stay intact.
What happens to the rebar in old concrete?
Steel reinforcement is separated from the rubble as the concrete breaks apart. Scrap steel has recycling value, so rebar and wire mesh typically go to local metal recyclers, while the cleaned concrete pieces head to separate aggregate crushing facilities.
Is concrete dust from demolition dangerous?
Concrete dust contains crystalline silica, which can damage the lungs when inhaled over time. Wetting the surface during cutting and breaking keeps most dust from becoming airborne, and anyone nearby, including children and pets, should keep their distance from the work zone.
Start Your Next Project On Clean, Level Ground
Every new driveway, patio, or walkway begins with getting the old one out of the way, and how that removal is handled shapes everything poured afterward.
