Concrete Tear-Out & Haul-Away in Wichita, KS
Wichita Concrete Pros handles concrete tear-out and haul-away for properties across Wichita and Sedgwick County, Kansas. We are a licensed and insured concrete contractor. This service is the demolition end of the work: breaking out old slabs, hauling the broken concrete off, and rebuilding the base so the ground is ready for a new pour.
We break the slab down, load and haul off the debris, then dig and re-compact the subgrade and lay fresh crushed stone. The base is where a slab lives or dies, so rebuilding it is not an afterthought. Pouring new concrete straight onto the old failed base is exactly what an overlay does, and it is why an overlay cracks again on Wichita clay.
Demo and Haul-Off
The old slab comes out in pieces and leaves the property. We break the concrete, load it, and haul it away so you are not stuck with a rubble pile in the driveway. Whether it is a cracked driveway, a heaved patio, or a broken garage floor, removal and disposal are handled as one job.
Rebuilding the Base
Once the concrete is gone we get to the real problem: the ground. A washed-out or loose base is what let the old slab move. We dig it out, compact the subgrade, and lay four to six inches of crushed stone, compacted in place. That moisture-stable base is what the next slab needs to stay flat through the wet and dry clay seasons.
The Step That Makes Replacement Real
Tear-out is what separates a replacement from a patch. An overlay hides a bad slab; leveling lifts one that will drop again. Removing the slab and rebuilding the base starts the whole thing over from the dirt up. It is why a driveway replacement lasts and a resurfacing does not.
What It Costs
Tear-out in Wichita depends on the square footage, the slab thickness, and how much has to be hauled off. A thin patio slab breaks out faster than a thick reinforced driveway. When the removal leads into a repour, it is priced as part of the whole job. Every tear-out gets a free written estimate first.

Do you haul the old concrete away?
Yes. We break out the old slab, load the broken concrete, and haul it off the property. You are not left with a pile of rubble to deal with. Removal and disposal are part of the job, whether it is a driveway, a patio, or a shop floor.
Why does the base need to be rebuilt after removal?
The old slab usually cracked because the ground under it failed, so pouring new concrete on that same base just repeats the problem. After the concrete is out we dig, re-compact the subgrade, and lay fresh crushed stone. Rebuilding the base is the step that makes the next slab last.
Can you remove concrete without pouring anything new?
Yes. If you want a slab gone for a garden bed, a shed pad, or landscaping, we demo it, haul it off, and grade the ground back. Most of our removal work leads into a repour, but a tear-out on its own is a job we do.
How is tear-out different from an overlay?
An overlay coats the top of the old slab and leaves the failed base in place, so the movement and cracks come right back. Tear-out removes the slab and the bad base both, and rebuilds the ground before a new pour. It is the step that separates a real replacement from a cosmetic patch.
