What happens here

The operator explains the rationale behind thoroughly removing all concrete, including deep footers, from the site. He clarifies that all materials, including concrete and metal, are recycled (concrete becomes recycled Class 5 or road base material). He emphasizes that leaving any concrete behind could severely impact future home addition plans or property resale, citing past experiences where buried, unexpected concrete caused major project delays and increased costs, necessitating geotechnical engineering oversight for soil correction.
