Concrete Cutting & Core Drilling for Plumbers
Same-day slab cutting and core drilling that keeps your plumbing crew on schedule — fast response, precise cuts, no delays
Concrete Cutting Services for Plumbers
REDCORE works with plumbing contractors throughout Massachusetts as their dedicated concrete cutting partner. We understand that your crew is waiting on our cuts to start roughing in pipe, and every hour of delay costs you money. That is why we prioritize fast scheduling, show up on time, and cut exactly what you need so your journeymen can start laying drain lines, waste piping, and water supply runs immediately after we finish. Whether you need a 12-inch-wide trench for a 4-inch waste line, a 3-inch core for a vent stack, or a full bathroom rough-in layout with multiple trenches and penetrations, REDCORE delivers the slab access your plumbing work depends on.
We speak plumber. When you tell us you need an 18-inch trench from the toilet flange location to the main stack tie-in at a specific slope, we understand what that means and we cut it right the first time. When you need a 6-inch core through a foundation wall for a new sewer connection, we drill it at the right height and pitch. We know the difference between a waste line trench and a water supply channel, and we understand why trench width matters for fitting access and pipe slope. This trade-specific knowledge means less back-and-forth, fewer misunderstandings, and faster project completion.
Our plumbing contractor partners across Springfield, Worcester, Pittsfield, and greater Massachusetts count on REDCORE for everything from single-fixture rough-ins to full commercial plumbing layouts. We offer same-day and next-day scheduling for urgent plumbing repairs, including burst pipe access and failed sewer line replacement. One call gets you a concrete cutting crew that understands your trade and respects your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions — Concrete Cutting for Plumbers
What trench width do you cut for residential drain lines?
For standard 3-inch and 4-inch ABS or PVC drain lines, we typically cut 8- to 10-inch-wide trenches to provide adequate room for fittings, slope adjustment, and proper bedding. For 2-inch supply or vent lines, 6-inch trenches are usually sufficient. We adjust width based on your pipe size and fitting clearance requirements.
Can you cut a slab trench and core-drill foundation penetrations in the same visit?
Yes — our trucks carry both flat saws and core rigs, so we handle trench cuts and wall or floor penetrations in a single mobilization. For a typical basement bathroom rough-in, we cut the drain trenches, drill the toilet flange hole, and core through the foundation for the sewer tie-in all in one trip.
How deep can you cut into a basement slab for plumbing access?
Our flat saws cut up to 6 inches deep in a single pass, which covers the full depth of most residential basement slabs (typically 3.5 to 4 inches thick). If the slab is thicker or you need access into the sub-base material below the concrete, we cut through the slab and you or your crew remove the stone beneath.
Do you offer same-day service for emergency plumbing slab cuts?
Yes. Burst water lines and backed-up sewer lines cannot wait. We provide emergency response 7 days a week for plumbing failures that require slab cutting to access the pipe. Call us and we will dispatch a crew as quickly as possible to cut the access your repair requires.
