The commercial rip & replace framework
Every commercial scope runs on this 16-step workflow — written into the scope up front, no surprise change orders, no add-on billing after mobilization.
Walk the section with the property manager. Document severity per panel with GPS-tagged photos.
Chalk or paint every failing panel + one panel beyond for a clean joint line.
Diamond-blade sawcut to the full slab depth on marked panels — never a jagged break.
Break out failed concrete with hydraulic hammer (slabs) or hand tools (edge work).
All debris trucked off-site same day. Recycled at NC-licensed C&D recyclers per NCDEQ regs.
Compact existing base to 95% Proctor. Add NCDOT Type 1 crusher-run stone where base has failed.
Re-grade for drainage cross-slope. Address any voids, spring, or organic material in the sub-base.
Set steel or wood forms to correct elevation, cross-slope, and joint pattern per existing.
Rebar (#4 @ 18" o.c. for heavy-load slabs) or W2.9 x W2.9 6x6 mesh for standard flatwork per ACI 301.
3500-4500 PSI mix (NRMCA-certified plants) held to depth: 4" sidewalks, 6-8" heavy-load pads.
Broom, trowel, or salt finish to match surrounding. Edges hand-tooled.
Curing compound or wet-cure per ambient temperature. Cure to walk-on 24hr / traffic 72hr.
Control joints saw-cut within 12 hours of pour at 24-30x slab thickness to prevent random cracking.
Wash-down, sweep, dispose of forms and rebar cutoffs. Site left broom-clean.
Landscape, asphalt patch, sealer, or grass restored around the pour to pre-existing condition.
Before/during/after photos filed to the property record — useful for board reports, insurance, and audit.
Recurring programs & multi-property contracts
Most of our commercial work isn't one-and-done. Property managers, apartment operators, hospital systems, and retail chains put LCC on ongoing programs — inspection, portfolio replacement, trip-hazard, ADA — so the concrete never becomes an emergency.
Sidewalk Trip-Hazard Program
Scored walk of every panel, GPS-tagged photos, phased remediation over 12-24 months. Insurance/legal-friendly documentation trail. Fits apartment portfolios, HOAs, retail chains, hospitals, senior living.
Program detailsConcrete Inspection Program
Quarterly or semi-annual property walks scoring every concrete asset — sidewalks, curbs, pads, aprons, ramps. Delivers a written prioritized replacement schedule with photos and per-section cost estimates.
Program detailsMulti-Property Replacement Program
Portfolio-wide phased replacement plan across all your NC properties. Safety-priority items first, spread capex across quarters or years, single point of contact across the portfolio.
Program detailsADA Compliance Program
Full ADA audit + phased ramp, landing, and transition replacement across a property or portfolio. Poured to public standards (1:12, level landings, truncated dome pads). Written compliance timeline.
Program detailsRetail Chain Portfolio Program
National account concrete maintenance across every store in your NC footprint. Same crew, same spec, same reporting per site. Drive-thru replacement windows scheduled around ops.
Program detailsHospital Portfolio Program
Campus-wide concrete replacement plan for hospital systems — ambulance bays, ADA, drop-off canopies, generator pads, sidewalks. Phased around patient access.
Program detailsUrgent commercial concrete
Safety-priority failures move ahead of the queue
Trip hazards flagged by insurance, failed ambulance bays, blocked loading docks, ADA non-compliance flagged in audit — LCC mobilizes within 24-72 hours for urgent commercial scopes. If a full replacement can't cure in your operational window, we can pour a temporary safety patch same-day and phase the full rip-and-replace on your schedule.

Rip & replace vs. surface grinding vs. foam lifting vs. overlay
Four commercial concrete repair methods — when each is the right call, what the scope actually is, expected lifespan, and cost shape. LCC offers three of the four in-house.
| Method | When it fits | Scope | Lifespan | Cost shape | LCC offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rip & Replace | Concrete is cracked full-depth, spalled through the slab, sunken beyond grinding, or damaged by heavy loads (forklift, semi, apparatus). | Sawcut → demo → re-prep subgrade → form → reinforce → pour → cure → restore. | 30-50+ years matching new-pour design life. | Highest upfront ($15-45+/SF depending on scope). Lowest long-run cost — no return visits. | Yes — this is the LCC specialty (569 scopes catalogued). |
| Surface Grinding | Isolated trip hazards (¼"-1" panel lift). Panel otherwise sound. ADA sidewalk transitions. | Diamond-grind the higher panel to a compliant transition. No form/pour. | 5-15 years, then the differential settles and returns. | Lowest ($8-20/panel). Fast — same-day walk-back-open. | Yes — included as part of trip-hazard programs where appropriate. |
| Foam Injection Slab Lifting | Sunken slab is otherwise structurally sound. Non-load-bearing sidewalks, patios, driveway sections. | Inject expanding polyurethane foam through 5/8" ports; lift, level, patch ports. | 10-25 years depending on sub-base stability. | Middle ($5-15/SF). Faster and cheaper than tear-out for the right scope. | Yes — dedicated NC service page at /foam-injection-slab-lifting-nc. |
| Overlay / Resurface | Cosmetic surface damage only — no structural crack, no settlement. | Mechanically prep existing surface, bond and pour ¼-2" polymer-modified overlay. | 5-10 years — bond delamination is the failure mode. | Middle ($8-20/SF). Rarely a fit for load-bearing commercial. | Rarely — most commercial overlay requests are actually rip-and-replace candidates. |
