If you own a factory, manufacturing facility or construction business, you will likely have to deal with cutting concrete during the course of a project you undertake. But you can hire a concrete cutting contractor to handle all your cutting, sawing and polishing needs. Here are the answers to some important concrete cutting questions that will help you understand the concrete cutting services these professionals can offer you:

What Method Do You Use To Help Me Install Pipes Under Concrete? -- When there is a need to break through concrete for pipe fitting, concrete cutter contractors use what is known as diamond core drilling to get the job done. In this process, a diamond-tipped drilling device drills into the concrete and forms a hole that is ideal for the installation of piping and ductwork.

The diamond tip is strong enough to make a perfect circular hole of whatever dimensions are appropriate for your construction needs. But it is also powerful enough to drill through natural stone such as granite and quartz, brick, metal and asphalt.

Concrete cutters use different diamond drill-bit sizes to do the work, which makes these devices effective to cut big circular holes and small holes, depending on your needs.

Can You Cut Concrete For Disposal? -- Yes, if you have large slabs of concrete that you want cut into smaller sizes that a contractor can take away from you job site, then a concrete cutting contractor can use a process known as crushing to take care of that for you.

This work is done with a concrete crusher, which is designed to crush and grind concrete into powder, or into very small pieces that are easy to transport. In many instances, a concrete cutting contractor has agreements in place with a concrete recycling facility to take care of the crushed concrete.

What is Concrete Floor Grinding? -- Concrete grinding is a service offered by nearly all concrete cutting contractors. Using a diamond tool at the bottom of a special polishing machine, grinding is an ideal way for you to smooth out old or freshly-laid concrete that has bumps, imperfections and potential hazards.

The sharpness of the diamond tool grinds the floor down so that you can stain it, apply new finishing or install new tile. Concrete grinding is an alternative to ripping up a floor that has uneven areas, or a surface that is too rough for safe walking.

It's also effective to remove concrete that is degrading, or spalled, and concrete that wasn't properly laid down. Once the concrete cutting contractor has finished the grinding, the surface is ready for paint, carpet or sealing.
