Concrete Slab & Foundation Removal
The Shed Is Gone. The Concrete Is Still There.
Taking down an old home, shed, or barn can leave a substantial piece of the job behind. A concrete slab, foundation, or buried perimeter can keep the space tied to a structure you no longer have.
Lucas Excavating removes leftover concrete throughout Sterling Heights and Metro Detroit. Demolition, hauling, and ground preparation help clear the footprint for your next improvement or a different use of the yard.
Concrete Removal Above & Below Ground
What looks like a simple slab may include concrete extending beneath the surface. Knowing what needs to come out helps establish the equipment, excavation, and hauling involved. A firsthand site visit helps define the removal area and access for equipment. Your plans for the space also guide how the ground should be left afterward.
Concrete Slab Removal
Breaking up and hauling away unwanted slabs, including concrete left after a barn or shed has already been demolished. Removal clears the remaining surface so the area can be prepared for its next use.
Foundation Remnant Removal
Excavation and removal of leftover foundation concrete below ground. The depth and extent of the remaining concrete affect how much work is needed to clear the area.
Rat Wall Removal
Removal of the concrete perimeter extending below grade around a slab. This buried concrete adds to the removal scope and needs to be considered alongside the visible surface.
Plan the Removal Around What Comes Next
A future lawn and a new construction project need different preparation. Discussing your plans before demolition helps establish the removal limits and any grading or excavation included in the job.
Equipment also needs access to the work area. Checking access firsthand helps determine how the concrete can be reached and hauled away, so those requirements are part of the plan from the start.

What Affects Your Removal Estimate?
Square footage and concrete thickness affect the amount of material to break up and haul away. Foundations and rat walls can add excavation and removal work beyond what’s visible at the surface.
Equipment access and the ground preparation needed afterward also shape the estimate. Reviewing these details on-site helps explain what’s included and why below-ground concrete can make one project more involved than another.
