The process of concrete cutting is performed through drilling, sawing and removal of concrete. This operation is performed using special saws with diamond impregnated blades by qualified workers. There are many types of concrete cutting services, such as:

Wall Sawing

This process involves the cutting of openings such as windows or doors in the concrete walls. The usual thickness of these walls is around 12î but sometimes it can even get up to 24″. This process requires a large diameter diamond blade (around 30″ or even larger) in order to cut through a 12″ concrete wall from one side to another. It is quite an expensive service due to the fact that it requires experience and skill to cut perfectly smooth level openings and plumb without any dust or mess.

Core drilling

This is a process used to drill perfectly round holes through floors and walls. For most homeowner applications, the diameter of these holes is around 5″ but it can also range from 1″ to 12″. However, for commercial applications these holes can range up to 60î round or even more. Most of these holes are used for setting up certain utilities such as plumbing, electrical or heating but also for clothes dryers and venting furnaces.

Slab Sawing

This process is used for cutting horizontal flat concrete surfaces (bridge decks, floors and pavement), and it is also known as flat sawing. The slab saws are equipped with a diamond blade mounted on a machine that requires only one person to operate. In most homeowner applications only 6″ cuts deep or less are required but it can also cut up to 33″ if it is necessary. This is a perfect solution for making openings in concrete floors in order to make certain repairs to the sewer line or to a broken water pipe.

So regardless of the project you are involved in, don’t let the concrete stand in your way and request the aid of a concrete cutting service. Most of these operations require skilled and trained professionals so do not hesitate.
