Serving Mansfield, OH and surrounding areas. (567) 345-1035
Damaged sections, floor drain openings, utility access - we cut concrete precisely where you need it and haul away every piece before we leave your property.
Concrete cutting in Mansfield is the use of diamond-tipped saws and core drills to slice through hardened concrete cleanly and precisely - most residential jobs take two to four hours from setup to cleanup, and the surface is usable the same day the crew leaves.
Contractors use concrete cutting to create openings for drains and pipes, remove damaged sections of a driveway or garage floor, or cut expansion joints that keep concrete from cracking on its own. In Mansfield, freeze-thaw winters and the area's clay-heavy soil are responsible for a large share of the damaged concrete that eventually needs to be cut out and replaced. A precision cut - as opposed to breaking things up with a jackhammer - produces clean edges, far less vibration near your foundation, and a much neater result for whatever comes next. If the section being removed also needs a full replacement pour, our concrete driveway building and concrete parking lot building services cover the pour that follows.
If you have noticed a crack in your driveway or patio that was thin a few years ago but is now wide enough to fit a finger into, Mansfield's freeze-thaw winters are likely the cause. Once a crack reaches that size, patching it with filler rarely holds - the damaged section usually needs to be cut out cleanly and replaced. A crack that is also starting to shift vertically, with one side higher than the other, is an even clearer sign.
If you walk across your driveway or garage floor and feel a section that moves slightly or sounds hollow when you tap it, the soil underneath has likely shifted or washed away. This is especially common in Mansfield's clay-heavy soil, where ground movement is a regular occurrence. A concrete cutting contractor can remove that section cleanly so the base can be repaired and new concrete poured.
If water is collecting in your garage or basement floor after heavy rain, you may need a floor drain added - and that requires cutting through the existing concrete slab. This is a common project in older Mansfield homes built before interior drainage was standard. The cut itself is precise and contained, and the finished drain can prevent a significant amount of water damage over time.
The section of your driveway closest to the street takes the most abuse from snowplow contact, road salt runoff, and ground movement. In Mansfield, it is common to see this section heave upward or crack apart while the rest of the driveway looks fine. When the apron is significantly raised or broken, it creates a trip hazard and can damage vehicles, and cutting it out for replacement is often the most practical fix.
We use diamond-tipped flat saws, hand-held cut-off saws, and core drills depending on where the cut needs to go and how deep it needs to be. Every job starts with an on-site assessment so we can measure the thickness of your concrete, look at access conditions, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. We use wet cutting throughout the job to keep silica dust suppressed, which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires on concrete cutting jobs - and which also keeps the mess more contained. Cut concrete pieces are removed from your property as part of every job. For projects where the cut is a first step before a foundation or structural repair, we coordinate directly with our concrete driveway building and concrete parking lot building crews so the whole project moves forward without you having to manage multiple contractors.
The Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association sets the professional standards for this type of work - including blade selection, cut depth consistency, and safe practices near foundations. We follow those standards on every job, whether it is a two-hour drain opening or a full-day apron removal.
Best for homeowners with cracked, heaved, or hollow driveway, patio, or garage sections that have failed beyond what a surface patch can fix.
Suited for basements and garages in older Mansfield homes that need interior drainage added or utility lines run beneath an existing slab.
Ideal for new or existing slabs that need additional expansion joints to manage future cracking - particularly useful on larger driveways and parking areas.
For the section closest to the street that has heaved, cracked, or pulled away from the road surface, creating a trip hazard or a bump that damages low vehicles.
Mansfield sits in north-central Ohio where winters regularly bring temperatures that dip below freezing and then climb back above it - sometimes multiple times in a single week. Every time water gets into a small crack in your concrete and then freezes, it expands and pushes the crack wider. Over years, this cycle turns hairline cracks into broken slabs that need to be cut out and replaced. A significant portion of Mansfield's residential neighborhoods were built in the mid-20th century, and concrete from that era is often thinner and more brittle than modern pours. Cutting older concrete requires more care and the right blade selection - something a contractor with local experience will know before they start, not discover partway through the job.
Much of Richland County sits on glacially deposited soils with significant clay content. Clay expands when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries out, which causes the ground beneath your concrete to move over time - leading to uneven slabs, heaved sections, and cracks that eventually require cutting and repair. We serve homeowners throughout the greater Mansfield area, including residents in Galion and Bucyrus, where the same soil conditions and housing age mean the same types of concrete problems come up year after year.
When you call or message us, just describe what you are seeing or what you are trying to accomplish. You do not need to know technical details. This call typically takes five to ten minutes and helps us decide whether we need to come out for a look before giving you a price. We reply within one business day.
We come to your property to measure the area, check the thickness of the concrete, and look at access conditions before giving you a firm quote. This visit is free and takes about fifteen to thirty minutes. You get a written estimate covering what work will be done, how long it will take, and the total cost.
Once you agree to move forward, we schedule your job and check whether a permit is needed. If one is required - for drain additions or utility access work - we coordinate that through the City of Mansfield Building Department. Permit processing can add a few days, so plan for that if your project is time-sensitive.
The crew marks the cut lines, sets up equipment, and begins cutting using wet saws to manage dust. Once the cuts are complete, they remove the cut concrete pieces and clean up the work area before leaving. The surface dries quickly, and in most cases you can use the surrounding area normally within a few hours.

(567) 345-1035A lot of concrete in Mansfield's older neighborhoods is thinner and more brittle than modern pours, and cutting it requires blade selection and cutting speed that account for that. We assess your specific slab before we start, not after something goes wrong. That experience with older local housing stock is what keeps cuts clean and prevents unintended cracking.
Concrete cutting connected to plumbing, drainage, or structural work requires a permit through the City of Mansfield Building Department. We tell you upfront whether your project needs one and pull it as part of the job. Permitted work protects you from complications when you sell your home or make an insurance claim - and it ensures the work is on record as done to code.
You get a firm written estimate after we come out and look at the job. The price you agree to is the price you pay - no charges added after the fact for thickness, access conditions, or debris volume. Getting a written quote from us and comparing it against others is the right call before any contractor touches your concrete.
Cut concrete pieces leave your property with our crew. We also clean up the water and slurry produced during wet cutting before we go. You should not have to make separate arrangements for debris hauling - and if you are comparing quotes, ask each contractor directly whether removal is included or priced separately.
Concrete cutting is a straightforward service when it is done by someone who shows up with the right equipment, knows the local building requirements, and leaves the site clean. Those three things together are what make the difference between a job that creates more work and one that puts you in position for whatever comes next.
Once the damaged section is cut out, we can handle the full replacement pour to restore your driveway to a smooth, even surface.
