This past weekend I had to demo a rather large vertical section out of our slab to expose a leak in the cold water line. I would estimate that it is 13-15 inches wide by about 30 inches tall. I did have to cut the rebar to get to the pipe and what I used was a jackhammer to demo the concrete. I know that I need to put the rebar back in roughly the same places. The edges are jagged and should hold well on a vertical plane.
Is there anyone who can formulate a good game plan with ideal pointers for ensuring I do it right? Forms, material, what not to do, etc.
Also, the concrete the contrator used for this slab is a lighter gray color and has a brushed rough finish. The concrete is 7 years old and is stable with no visible cracks from the jackhammer. This is about as much info I can think of to supply.
The work doesn't scare me, but the I don't knows do.
