Concrete removal in Issaquah
We are a Seattle concrete removal referral service. Tell us what needs to go and we'll connect you with one local concrete removal company — not five.
Issaquah sets out its right-of-way rules in more detail than most cities around here. Its permit checklist, last updated September 2025, asks for engineer-certified drawings and a traffic control plan with set working hours, even on residential streets. If your driveway apron or a sidewalk panel is coming out, those requirements shape the schedule.
Issaquah also has a concrete drop-off of its own, so debris from a small job does not have to cross the lake. This page covers both. When you want a price, send us the details and photos. We pass your job to one local concrete removal company, and asking costs you nothing.

What Issaquah's right-of-way permit asks for
Work in the street, at the curb or on the public sidewalk needs a Right-of-Way permit, applied for through MyBuildingPermit.com. The city's submittal checklist lists two core documents, a site plan and a traffic control plan, and says plans and applications "will not be reviewed if information is incomplete."
The site plan has to show existing and proposed driveways, the right-of-way boundaries, and the existing pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk. It also asks for trees and driplines within or next to the right-of-way, and a sidewalk patching detail to the Issaquah Street Standards. The drawings must carry a certification from a Washington-licensed Professional Engineer.
Fees are invoiced after the city deems the submittal complete enough to review, so you will not know the permit cost until then.
Working hours on Issaquah streets
The traffic control plan has to state hours of work, and the checklist sets them by street type:
- Major arterials: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
- Busy non-arterial streets: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
- Residential roads: 7:00 am to 6:00 pm
What the hours mean for a driveway job
A homeowner on a quiet cul-de-sac has a long working day for saw-cutting and loading. A house on an arterial gets six hours, which can push a one-day breakout into two. Ask anyone quoting the work which category your street falls in and how they plan around it.
Concrete that sits entirely inside your lot, such as a patio or a back walkway, is not right-of-way work. The removal company still needs room to stage a truck, and on a sloped lot that is worth discussing before the day.
