Concrete cutting in Corona CA - clean, straight cuts with the dust kept down
Need an opening in a slab, a trench for a pipe or a section of driveway out? We scan first, cut wet and leave clean edges.
What concrete cutting does for your house
Concrete cutting is how we make a clean opening in concrete that's already there. A saw makes straight cuts in a slab or wall, and a core drill makes round holes for pipes, drains and conduit. In Corona you'd call for it when a plumber needs a trench through the slab, when a wall needs an opening, or when a cracked section has to come out before we pour a new concrete driveway or tie in a concrete patio.
The price moves with how deep and how heavily reinforced the concrete is, whether we're cutting a slab or a wall, how many feet of cut and how many holes, and whether the pieces get broken up and hauled away. Sawing and removal are separate jobs, and removal can cost more than the cutting, so my written estimate says which one you're getting. The schedule mostly turns on getting the slab scanned and on any permit.
Most of what makes a cut go right happens before the saw starts. When we cut out a broken section to replace it, the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, gets dug out and packed before new concrete goes in, because a patch poured on loose ground cracks no matter how clean the edges look.

Concrete cutting questions we get
How much does concrete cutting cost in Corona, CA?
Across the US, professional saw cutting usually runs about $4 to $15 per linear foot for the sawing itself. Holes for pipes and drains are usually core drilled and priced on their own, and on a small job the charge for bringing out the crew and saw can be most of the bill. I'll put your number in writing after I see the job.
Why should a slab be scanned before cutting it?
Because a slab can hide post-tension cables, steel strands holding stored force, and cutting one can damage the structure or release that force near the crew. One scanning firm advises a professional scan before any drilling, coring or cutting, and says drawings and post-tension records help but don't prove an area is clear. We want the scan done first.
Do I need a permit to cut concrete in Corona, CA?
Ask the city first, because Corona's permit list names building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits, not concrete cutting. The Planning & Development office takes permit questions at 951-736-2250, and Public Works issues street construction permits at 951-736-2259. If your job needs one, I'll go over it at the estimate and we'll handle the paperwork.
What happens to the water and mud from concrete cutting?
Water on the blade turns the dust into slurry, a gray mud, and we agree with you before we start how it's collected and where it goes. California's silica rule names a water-fed blade for walk-behind saws because the dust can cause silicosis, an incurable lung disease. Corona also limits what can run into its storm drains from homes and job sites.
What license does a concrete cutter need in California?
The state licensing board puts concrete sawing, breaking and coring under its concrete related services contractor classification. That's the license that covers this work, so it's a fair thing to ask any cutter about before they bring a saw to your slab.
