Our concrete cutting projects

These are real job sites in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, completed by our crew and the contractors we work with. Our hoses, our orange layout lines, our stacked blocks. Each project below matches a service you can request a free quote for.

Doorway cut in a concrete block wall

A concrete block wall separated the garage from the basement. We sawed a full-height door opening, removed the blocks one by one and left the floor clean. The blocks went out to the yard, stacked for disposal. Wet cut, no dust in the rest of the house.

Sawing a foundation wall from the excavation

To open a poured concrete foundation wall, the soil is excavated down to the footing, the hydraulic wall saw is mounted on its track and the cut is made with water. In these photos: the power pack and hoses, the mist from the cut, and the clean saw line just above the weeping tile.

Plumbing trench in a basement slab

Adding plumbing to a basement: the route is marked in orange on the wall and the slab, the trench is sawn on both sides, the concrete is broken and removed, then the trench is backfilled with compacted gravel once the pipes are in — ready for the new pour.

Asphalt cutting along a house and at a garage threshold

A straight cut in asphalt lets a strip be removed cleanly without damaging the rest of the driveway: here along a house wall for drainage work, and at a garage door threshold before redoing the slab.
