Concrete & Foundation Removal in Central Illinois

Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. No surprises, no runaround.

Old concrete doesn't go away on its own. A cracked driveway, a leftover foundation, a silo pad sitting in the field — it's in the way of whatever comes next, and busting it out by hand isn't realistic. You want it broken out, hauled off, and the ground left clean.

Brohez Trucking LLC handles concrete removal and foundation removal across central Illinois — slabs, old foundations, footings, driveways, sidewalks, silo and grain-bin pads, and feedlot concrete. Residential, agricultural, and commercial.

The Komatsu PC150LC with a hydraulic breaker chews through reinforced concrete. The skid steer and dump trucks load it out and haul it to a proper disposal or recycling site. Concrete in to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.

We don't leave you with a pile and a hole. Once the concrete is out and hauled, we backfill the void with clean fill and grade the spot flat — ready to pour new, build, farm, or seed back to grass.

Old Foundations & Asbestos — The Plain-English Version

When concrete removal is tied to tearing down an older structure — a pre-1980 building, foundation, or attached slab — that structure can carry asbestos in old siding, tile, or pipe wrap. Bare concrete itself is rarely the concern; it's the building coming off it.

When a structure's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Our Concrete Removal Process

Every pour is different. The basics don't change.

STEP 01

Site Walk & Estimate

We come look at the concrete, check the thickness, rebar, and how deep the footings run, and give you a straight number. No pressure.

STEP 02

Locates & Access

We call utility locates so nothing under the slab gets hit, and figure out the right machine and route in for the access you've got.

STEP 03

Break Out

The Komatsu with a hydraulic breaker busts the concrete into haulable pieces — driveways, slabs, footings, foundations, and pads alike.

STEP 04

Footings & Foundation

We dig out and break the footings and below-grade foundation if it's part of the job, so there's nothing left buried to surprise you later.

STEP 05

Load & Haul

We load the broken concrete onto dump trucks and haul it to a proper disposal or recycling site. No pile left behind.

STEP 06

Backfill & Grade

We backfill the void with clean fill, grade the spot flat, and walk you through the finished work. Ready for whatever comes next.

Concrete Removal FAQs

How much does concrete removal cost?

It depends on the square footage, how thick and reinforced the concrete is, how deep the footings go, hauling, and access. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.

Do I need a permit for concrete or foundation removal?

Breaking out a driveway, slab, or sidewalk on private property usually doesn't need a permit. Removing a full building foundation inside city limits sometimes does. We'll tell you what's required and help you handle it.

Do you haul off the broken concrete?

Yes. Breaking it out is only half the job — we load the broken concrete onto dump trucks and haul it to a proper disposal or recycling site. You don't end up with a pile in the yard.

Do you backfill and grade after?

Yes. Once the concrete is out and hauled, we backfill the void with clean fill and grade the spot flat — ready to pour new, seed to grass, or build on.

Can you remove a full foundation or basement?

Yes. Foundation-only removal is common after a fire or a previous demo that left the slab or basement walls behind. We break out the foundation and footings, haul them, and backfill the hole.

Can you remove a silo or grain-bin pad?

Yes. Old silo footings, grain-bin pads, and feedlot concrete are routine farm work for us. We break them out, haul the concrete off, and grade the spot back so you can farm or build it.

Will breaking out the concrete tear up my yard?

We work clean and bring the right-size machine for the access. There's always some disturbance around the edges, but we backfill and grade so you're left with a tidy spot, not a mess.

Foundation Removal, Slab Removal & Old Foundation Demolition

What does foundation removal and old foundation demolition involve?

Foundation removal means breaking out and hauling off an old building foundation — slab, footings, stem walls, or a full basement. Old foundation demolition is common after a fire, a tear-down that left the slab behind, or a new build that needs a clean footprint. We break it out, dig the footings so nothing's left buried, haul the concrete off, and backfill the hole with clean fill graded flat.

Do you handle slab removal and old basement or footing removal?

Yes. Slab removal — garage, shed, shop, patio, or house slabs — is routine for us, along with basement walls, footings, and piers. We break the concrete into haulable pieces, separate the rebar, load it onto dump trucks, and grade the spot back so it's ready to pour new, build, or seed down.

Reuse the concrete: instead of hauling every piece off, we can crush broken concrete on-site and reuse it as a compacted base or fill — a solid foundation for a new rock driveway or to firm up low ground. It often saves on dirt hauling and disposal. Ask Levi at the estimate.
