Problems We Solve
Older basements often lack natural light, ventilation, or proper emergency exits.
Foundation cutting solves these issues by allowing for:
- Egress window installation for legal basement suites
- Doorway creation for walkouts or separate entries
- Easier access for plumbing, wiring, or HVAC upgrades
- Improved drainage and moisture control through precision openings
With Cutting Edge Concrete, homeowners avoid the risks of cracking, misalignment,
or structural weakening that come from improper cutting methods.

FAQ
Do I need a permit for an egress window opening?
Yes. Egress window openings must meet Alberta Building Code requirements and often require permits before cutting begins.
How long does a typical foundation cut take?
Most basement or foundation openings are completed within one day, depending on concrete thickness and access.
Will foundation cutting weaken my home?
No. When performed correctly with controlled cutting, the structural integrity is fully maintained and reinforced to meet code.
Can you cut openings in reinforced concrete walls?
Yes. Our professional-grade diamond saws and core drilling tools are designed to cut reinforced concrete safely and precisely.
What types of openings can be made in basement walls?
We create openings for egress windows, doors, ventilation, utility access, and walk-out basement conversions.
Will there be dust or mess during the cutting process?
Minimal. We use water-controlled cutting and debris containment to reduce dust, vibration, and on-site mess.
