Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is a house slab?
Many house slabs are around 75 to 100 mm, but thickenings and beams can be deeper. The contractor checks on site.
Can part of a slab stay?
Yes. A saw-cut gives a clean edge between what stays and what goes.
Are there pipes under the slab?
Often, yes. Drains and services should be located before breaking.
Can broken concrete be reused?
Crushed concrete can sometimes be used as fill or base. Ask if the contractor offers this.
Is a machine always needed?
Small slabs can be broken by hand. Large or thick slabs need machines.
