In this eye-opening episode, Ed Rivas shares essential insights about concrete replacement that every property owner should understand before tackling deteriorating driveways, patios, or walkways.

Ed walks us through the critical first steps of concrete demolition, explaining why it's vital to identify whether your concrete contains rebar or post-tension cables before breaking ground. You'll discover why improper cutting techniques can compromise entire concrete sections and create dangerous situations. Plus, Ed highlights the environmental responsibility of concrete disposal – revealing how recycling concrete benefits our planet while creating materials for future projects.
