Hi-
I need to make a 10-12 foot long cut through my concrete basement floor, about 4″ wide to add a pipe for a floor drain on the other side of the basement. What tools work best for doing this? I would like to stay away from a big gas powered cutting machine. Should I use a small cuttoff tool with a diamond blade, a jackhammer, etc? Your opinion from EXPERIENCE I would much appreciate.
Thanks-
Brian
To prevent moisture buildup and improve performance, install a continuous air barrier—such as drywall or specialized membranes—under tongue-and-groove boards or other interior wall paneling.
