Hydrodemolition Contractor- How to Choose
When it comes to major projects, knowing how to choose a hydrodemolition contractor is essential. Hydrodemolition, a process that utilizes high-pressure water jets to remove deteriorated or damaged concrete, requires precision, expertise, and the right equipment. Choosing the right partner can make all the difference between a successful project and a costly disaster. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some essential factors to consider when selecting a hydrodemolition contractor.
1. Experience and Expertise
One of the first things to consider when choosing a hydrodemolition contractor is their experience and expertise in the field. Look for a contractor with a proven track record of successfully completing similar projects. An experienced contractor will have the necessary skills and knowledge to handle the intricacies of hydrodemolition safely and efficiently.

2. Reputation
Reputation speaks volumes about a contractor’s reliability and professionalism. Take the time to research the reputation of potential contractors by reading reviews, asking for references, and checking their credentials. A reputable contractor will have positive feedback from past clients and a history of delivering high-quality work.

3. Equipment and Technology
Hydrodemolition requires specialized equipment and technology to achieve optimal results. When evaluating potential contractors, inquire about the type of equipment they use and whether it is up-to-date and well-maintained. Contractors who invest in state-of-the-art equipment demonstrate a commitment to quality and efficiency.
Not only does Clean Sweep invest in the acquisition and maintenance of their machines, CEO Tracy Arnold is active in the invention of components aiming to further improve an already efficient demolition method.
4. Safety Measures
Safety should always be a top priority on any construction site, and hydrodemolition is no exception. Choose a contractor who prioritizes safety and has comprehensive safety protocols in place. Ensure that the contractor is properly licensed, insured, and compliant with all relevant safety regulations.
You down with PPE? Yeah you know me! But on a serious note, safety is essential. Hydrodemolition is already the safest choice when it comes to concrete removal but we are sure to employ highly trained professionals, wearing all the correct gear.
5. Environmental Considerations
Hydrodemolition is generally considered an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional demolition methods, as it produces minimal dust and noise pollution. However, it’s still essential to choose a contractor who takes environmental considerations seriously. Look for contractors who use eco-friendly practices and adhere to environmental regulations.
Aside from producing minimal dust and noise, Clean Sweep uses NO additives to its water, meaning there is no harmful runoff polluting storm drains. We also utilize a vacuum recovery system when necessary so we can be sure everything is disposed of responsibly.
6. Cost and Budget
While cost is undoubtedly a crucial factor in any construction project, it shouldn’t be the sole determining factor when choosing a hydrodemolition contractor. Instead of simply opting for the lowest bid, consider the overall value that the contractor provides. Look for a contractor who offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality or safety.

7. Communication and Collaboration
Effective communication and collaboration are essential for the success of any construction project. Choose a contractor who values open communication and maintains clear lines of communication throughout the project. A contractor who is responsive to your needs and concerns will ensure that the project stays on track and meets your expectations.
