Identifying Concrete Problems

Concrete cutting can be done to remove a portion of concrete, either permanently or because it has to be removed temporarily for some reason. Here are some of the different reasons why someone may need to have concrete cut.

Plumbing issues

Sometimes there are water or sewer pipes that are running under a slab of concrete. If there is an issue with those pipes and they need to be accessed to be repaired, then the concrete above the pipes will need to be cut so it can be removed to allow access to the pipes.

Tree growth

Sometimes concrete is poured in an area when a tree is small, only to have the tree grow larger and the tree and roots will encroach upon the concrete. When this happens, it can cause the concrete to be damaged as it is pushed up or to the side. Cutting the concrete allows for the damaged concrete to be removed and it creates more space for the tree to continue to grow without causing further damage to the concrete that is left intact further from the tree.

Landscape changes

Sometimes, you want to make changes to your landscaping, and you might have concrete that gets in the way of what it is that you want to do. When this happens, you can have the concrete cut to remove a portion of it, or even all of it. Once you have the concrete removed that you want, then you can continue on with the other plans that you have for your landscaping.

Access allowances

There may be a time when you need to gain access to an area around your property that is difficult or even impossible due to a slab of concrete. Cutting back the imposing concrete will give you the space you need to access whatever it is that you are trying to reach.

Custom look

You may have a different look in mind for your existing concrete. Achieving that look may require you to have a portion of the concrete cut. One example of this would be if you wanted to create a design in the concrete where it had separations where grass was included into it, or even where it had sections of gravel. In order to do this, you will need to have the areas cut where you want the chances to be added. Once the concrete is out of the way, you can do things like plant grass or put gravel in place.
