- Clean openings sized perfectly for plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems
- Safe coring methods that reduce dust, vibration, and surrounding damage
- Reliable access solutions for renovations, upgrades, and new construction
How it Works
- Wall Inspection & Assessment – We evaluate the retaining wall’s structure, slope, drainage flow, and material thickness to determine the safest and most effective cutting approach.
- Marking & Preparation – All cutting lines are precisely measured and marked to guide clean, accurate cuts for drainage channels, utility access, or structural modifications.
- Precision Saw Cutting – Specialized concrete saws are used to create smooth, controlled cuts while minimizing vibration, cracking risks, and disruption to surrounding soil or retaining structures.
- Debris Removal & Site Clean-Up – All cut material is safely removed, and the area is left clean, stable, and ready for drainage work, landscaping adjustments, or the next construction phase.

FAQ
Do I need a permit for concrete coring work?
Permits are not usually required for standard concrete coring. However, they may be needed if the work affects structural elements, shared walls, or involves fire-rated assemblies. We help you determine whether permits are required before work begins.
Can you core through reinforced or thick concrete?
Yes. Our diamond-tipped coring equipment is designed to cut through reinforced concrete, thick slabs, walls, and floors. We safely handle rebar, dense material, and structural concrete without compromising integrity.
What types of concrete coring services do you offer?
We provide coring for plumbing lines, electrical conduit, HVAC vents, structural anchors, and material testing. Holes can be drilled at any diameter or depth needed for residential, commercial, or industrial projects.
Will concrete coring weaken the surrounding structure?
No. When done professionally, concrete coring does not weaken the surrounding structure. Our controlled drilling methods prevent cracking, vibration damage, and unnecessary stress on walls or slabs.
How long does concrete coring usually take?
Most coring jobs take between 15 minutes and 1 hour per hole, depending on diameter, depth, and whether the concrete contains rebar. Larger structural projects may require additional setup and safety preparation.
Will there be dust, noise, or mess during the coring process?
We use water-cooled coring systems to minimize dust, reduce noise, and ensure clean, smooth openings. All slurry and debris are contained and removed, leaving the work area clean and ready for installation.
