Adding a drain, fixing a slab leak, or removing a damaged panel - we make precise cuts that protect the concrete you want to keep.
Concrete cutting in New Braunfels uses diamond-tipped power saws to make precise, controlled cuts through existing slabs, walls, or pavement, and most residential jobs are completed in a single visit lasting a few hours to a full day. The goal is a clean, straight cut that leaves the surrounding concrete untouched.
Homeowners in New Braunfels most often need it when adding a floor drain, reaching a slab leak beneath the concrete, removing a cracked panel from a driveway or patio, or creating an opening through a garage or concrete wall. This is not demolition - it is precision work, and the quality of the cut determines how clean and durable the repair or patch that follows will be.
Concrete cutting is usually one step in a larger project. If you are lifting a settled slab that needs pier access cut through it, we handle the associated foundation raising work as well.
When a section of your driveway or patio has heaved, dropped, or cracked badly enough that patching will not hold, the damaged section needs to be cut out cleanly and replaced. In New Braunfels, the clay-soil movement common in many neighborhoods frequently causes this kind of panel failure. Cutting out just the damaged panel - rather than tearing up the whole slab - is the most cost-effective fix.
Adding a floor drain to a garage or workshop means cutting a trench through existing concrete to lay the pipe below. The same applies when a plumber or electrician needs to access or reroute a line running beneath your slab. This is one of the most common reasons homeowners call for concrete cutting, especially in older homes where the original layout did not include a floor drain.
A water or drain line leaking beneath your slab requires cutting through the concrete to reach and repair the pipe. You may notice warm spots on the floor, unexplained increases in your water bill, or damp areas on the slab surface. Concrete cutting is not optional in this situation - it is the only way to reach the problem without tearing out everything around it.
The combination of large live oaks, cedar elms, and other trees common in Central Texas yards, along with the region's shrink-swell soils, can push up concrete edges over time. When a section has lifted enough to create a trip hazard or drainage problem, cutting it out and re-pouring is safer and more lasting than grinding or patching the surface.
We use diamond blade saws, wall saws, and core drilling equipment depending on what the job requires. Each tool is selected to cut cleanly without the cracking and spalling that a jackhammer or chisel would cause to nearby concrete. For outdoor work, wet cutting is standard - it controls dust and extends blade life. For indoor jobs like a garage floor trench, we discuss wet or dry cutting based on your space and ventilation. Before we start any cut, we assess your slab for reinforcing steel and, on newer homes, check for post-tension cables - cutting into an unknown post-tensioned slab is one of the most preventable and costly mistakes in concrete work.
When a damaged section needs to come out, we break and haul the removed concrete as part of the same visit. Concrete cutting is often one step in a larger project - if you are rebuilding a section of your concrete driveway building or repairing a commercial surface in a concrete parking lot building project, we can coordinate the cutting and the pour so you are not waiting on two separate crews.
For homeowners who need to run a drain, conduit, or utility line beneath an existing concrete floor - indoors or outdoors.
Suits driveways and patios where one or more damaged sections need to be cut out cleanly so a fresh pour can match the surrounding concrete.
For converting a garage to living space, adding a pass-through door, or creating any opening through a concrete or block wall.
Produces a clean circular hole through a slab or wall for plumbing, conduit, or anchor penetrations where a saw cut would remove too much material.
New Braunfels sits at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, where soils shift between clay-heavy lowland areas and rocky limestone upland zones. Concrete poured over clay expands and contracts with every seasonal cycle, which is the primary reason driveways, patios, and slabs crack and shift here faster than in cooler or wetter climates. Concrete that has been through years of Central Texas heat also tends to be harder and more brittle, which means more blade wear and slower cutting than a contractor from outside the region might expect. Newer homes add a different concern: a large share of New Braunfels construction over the past two decades used post-tensioned slab methods, and any contractor working here should confirm slab type before touching it.
We work throughout the area, including homeowners in Wimberley where limestone is often shallow beneath the slab, and in Kyle where newer subdivisions commonly have post-tensioned foundations. Our crew arrives knowing what to look for before the saw starts.
We come to you before giving a firm number - slab thickness, reinforcement, and access all affect the job. Expect a site visit first. We reply within one business day to schedule it.
After the assessment you receive a written quote covering cut dimensions, debris removal, and the expected timeline. This is the moment to confirm your slab type and whether any permits apply to what follows the cut.
The cut itself typically does not require a permit, but the work that follows often does - plumbing, utility connections, or work near a right-of-way. We know which rules apply in New Braunfels and handle the application if needed.
The crew marks the line, sets blade depth, makes the cut, and cleans up slurry or dust before leaving. You get a clean, open cut ready for your plumber, electrician, or patch crew - same visit, no second trip for cleanup.
Every slab is different in New Braunfels - we come to you, assess the job, and give you a clear written quote before any work begins.
(830) 402-1980A large share of New Braunfels homes built in the past two decades use post-tensioned slabs with internal steel cables under high tension. We confirm slab type before starting every job. Cutting into an unknown post-tensioned cable causes structural damage that no one can undo cheaply. That check is non-negotiable for us and should be for any contractor you hire.
We use diamond blade saws that slice cleanly through the slab without sending shockwaves into the surrounding concrete. The American Society of Concrete Contractors identifies proper blade selection and depth control as the primary factors that separate a clean cut from one that damages adjacent concrete. We follow those standards on every job.
When concrete sections are removed, we break out and haul the material as part of the same visit. Your written quote specifies whether removal is included before we start - no surprises about a pile of broken concrete left on your driveway waiting for a second call.
Our contractor license is held with the state and can be verified through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. When cutting work leads to permitted follow-up work - like a plumbing repair or new utility connection - we coordinate with the relevant trades so the permit process does not stall your project.
Every concrete cutting job we do in New Braunfels starts with a site assessment and ends with a clean, straight cut and a work area left ready for whatever comes next. That consistency - from the first call to the crew packing up - is what keeps homeowners calling us back.
After a damaged panel is cut out, we pour and finish the replacement section to match your existing driveway surface and grade.
