Concrete removal in New Iberia usually starts with a call to tear out a cracked, sunken driveway or patio. We handle concrete driveway removal and concrete slab removal, plus walkways, sidewalks, steps and shop floors. The excavator breaks the concrete into pieces and lifts them out, and every piece leaves with us. Estimates are free and done on site, so call (337) 201-0594 to set one up.
Old footings and foundations come out too, once the building above them is gone. If a house or mobile home still stands, the slab goes with house and mobile home demolition. We do concrete demolition with mini excavators and a compact track loader. We work out of New Iberia and cover the rest of Acadiana.

Every job starts with a free look at the concrete. Thickness matters, and so does any rebar or wire mesh inside it. We also check how the machines get in, since fences, gates and soft ground all change the plan. You get a price before anything breaks.
The excavator breaks the slab into pieces and lifts them free. Rebar and wire mesh come out with the pieces. The compact track loader carries the broken concrete across the yard and loads it. It leaves in roll-off containers or our dump trailers as the work goes.
Driveways, patios, walkways, sidewalks and steps all come out this way. So do slabs left from old sheds, carports and mobile homes, and shop floors whose buildings are already gone. If the shed still stands, that is shed and garage demolition, and the slab can go too.
Most of the ground here is heavy clay. The USDA's Iberia soil series, described about 5 miles east of New Iberia, cracks open as it dries. In normal years the cracks reach up to 1 inch wide and 20 inches deep or more. A slab sitting on ground like that loses support in spots, and the edges crack and drop.
Rain works on it from the other side. The same USDA description puts rainfall near New Iberia at about 60 inches a year, spread through every season. The clay drains very slowly, so water that slips under a slab through a crack tends to stay. The base softens, and the concrete settles into it.
Tree roots can lift a walkway or split a driveway as they grow. Water that stands beside a slab after every storm points to a drainage problem. New concrete in the same spot meets the same water. That fix is yard drainage and French drains, and it comes before anything new goes down.
Once the concrete is gone, you have bare ground and a choice to make. An old concrete drive can be replaced with a new gravel driveway on the same path. Some people want a parking pad instead, and some want the spot turned back into yard.
Either way, the ground usually needs shaping first. Low spots get filled, and the dirt is spread with the track loader and packed. A raised pad for a new build is house pad work, and a lot that needs leveling is lot leveling and grading. A yard going back to grass is left smooth and ready for seed or sod.
A new slab is a job for a concrete contractor. We can leave the ground cleared and graded to the height your builder or concrete contractor sets. That way the next contractor starts on clean, level ground.
Louisiana's dig law covers both excavation and demolition, and moving material in or on the ground counts as excavation. Notice to Louisiana 811 goes in at least 48 hours ahead, and no more than 120 hours ahead. Weekends and holidays do not count toward those hours. We put the notice in and wait for the utility marks before the first slab breaks.
Iberia Parish has a permit rule for driveway approaches on the parish right-of-way. An approach there cannot be moved or changed in size without another permit from the Permit Office. Inside New Iberia and in other parishes, another office may cover the street end of a driveway. We check which office covers your address before we touch concrete at the road.
Broken concrete is heavy, so it loads directly into roll-off containers or dump trailers. It is hauled to an approved disposal site, and the ground is left clear. A loose pile of old broken concrete is a separate job: debris removal for old piles.

View DetailsCompact excavators and a track loader work in town lots, back yards and farm gates. Tight access rarely stops a job, and the ground takes less damage than it would under bigger machines.
We live and work here, so Iberia Parish and the towns around it are short runs. Estimates happen fast and the machines show up when the schedule says they will.
Teardown, stumps, dirt, culvert, driveway: the same outfit can carry a property from overgrown or condemned to pad-ready. One schedule and one number instead of four subcontractors.
We price after looking at the property, the access and the ground. You get a real number before work starts, and the site is left clean when it ends.

Jason was a pleasure to do business with. He had a fair price and did excellent work. I will definitely use Elite Excavation Services again in the future
I needed some debris removed and Elite Excavation came through very timely and the job was done smoothly!
Great service with a reasonable price. The operator did a great job with my shed demolition! He left the place very clean and ready for my new shop. I highly recommend Jason and his crew.
