What is Concrete Cutting?
Concrete cutting is a process of controlled sawing, drilling and
removal of concrete performed by skilled operators using special saws
that use diamond impregnated blades. Unlike the old-fashioned dusty
"jack hammer" method, modern concrete cutting leaves a smooth
attractive finish and utilizes water so as not to create any dust or
mess. There are many different kinds of concrete cutting but the most
common are wall sawing, core drilling and slab or flat sawing.
Wall Sawing is the process of cutting openings such as doors or
windows in concrete walls, usually no more than 12" thick but in some
cases up to 24" thick. This is accomplished by using a saw that
attaches to a track on the wall to be cut. This process utilizes an
enormous 30" or even larger diameter diamond blade that can cut 12" or
more of concrete all of the way through from one side. This aspect of
our business requires the most skill and cannot easily be done by your
average "do it yourselfer." As stated, wall sawing may entail cutting
openings in concrete foundations but may also include lowering a
foundation elevation, entire foundation removal and also the cutting
of concrete retaining walls in part or in whole. This type of concrete
cutting requires skill and experience to cut perfectly smooth plumb
and level openings with virtually no dust or mess, so it is a rather
expensive service. Most concrete cutting companies charge a minimum of
$425 just to take their equipment to a site and cut.
Homeowners that build additions on to their home that have basements
or cellars commonly find they need to cut into their existing concrete
foundation to add an entry or passage between the new and existing
basements. It is much easier and in most cases less expensive to have
this service performed during the construction process and not after.
Core Drilling is the process of drilling perfectly round holes through
concrete walls and floors. The diameters of the holes range from 1" to
12" round but average 5" for most homeowner
