What is Slab Cutting?

Slab cutting is a process by which horizontal surfaces are cut in a straight line to allow for processes such as demolition, repair, and improvements to take place. Similar in process to wall sawing, slab cutting is efficient, low dust, and cost effective.

Saws are typically powered by gasoline, diesel, electric, or hydraulics. Gasoline and diesel powered saws are used primarily in outdoor or large well ventilated projects, whereas electric or hydraulic saws can be used outdoors as well, but also indoors where fumes would be unacceptable.

Specialists with slab saws can make quick work of many projects, and can also coordinate with other teams such as plumbers, demolition, electricians, etc to ensure the project requirements are met in a timely manner.

  • Slab cutting costs are influenced by cut depth and length, concrete thickness, reinforcement presence, site access, and job scheduling constraints.

  • Yes — slab cutting is commonly used to create or repair expansion and control joints, promoting proper slab movement and minimizing cracking in large concrete floors.

  • Certified technicians implement traffic control, protective barriers, dust containment methods, and equipment safety checks to protect workers and facility operations.

  • Concrete debris is collected with industrial vacuums or swept and removed from the site, and we include proper disposal in our services to keep the workspace clean.

  • Yes, with appropriate saw equipment and specialized blades, slab cutting can create custom or non-straight cuts when the project requires it.

  • Slab cutting saws can penetrate full slab depths, including through reinforced areas, based on blade choice and machine capacity.

  • We provide commercial slab cutting services throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

  • Yes, slab cutting is often used to create access for water, sewer, or underground utility repairs without full demolition of the slab.
