Core drilling
A precise method of cutting perfectly round holes in concrete or masonry.
Overview
Using a specialized drill with a diamond-tipped core bit, this method of cutting is meant to cut cylindrical holes through concrete, masonry, or other hard surfaces
Core drilling is particularly useful in situations where precision is critical, allowing contractors to create exact holes with minimal mess, vibration, or damage to the existing structure. It’s ideal for both small residential projects and large commercial or industrial applications.
Ideal Projects for Core Drilling

Core Drilling FAQs
These features make core drilling an ideal choice for creating access points for pipes, electrical wiring, HVAC ducts, and other utilities in both residential and commercial settings.
What is core drilling used for?
Core drilling is used to create precise holes in concrete for plumbing, electrical, HVAC installations, or structural reinforcements.
How deep can you drill into concrete?
We can drill up to 4 feet deep using a 16-inch core drill with extensions.
Can you drill through rebar?
Yes, our diamond-tipped core bits are designed to cut through rebar efficiently without damaging surrounding concrete.
Is core drilling noisy or disruptive?
While some noise is expected, we use equipment designed to minimize disruption, and we clean up thoroughly after the work is complete.
How precise is core drilling?
Core drilling is highly precise, ensuring clean and accurate holes without cracking or damaging the surrounding concrete.
What sizes of holes can you drill?
We can drill holes of various diameters, from small openings for wiring to larger ones for HVAC ducts or structural elements.
Is core drilling suitable for walls and floors?
Yes, we can core drill both vertically (for walls) and horizontally (for floors and ceilings) based on your project needs.
Do you provide core drilling for residential and commercial projects?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial core drilling projects, from home remodels to large-scale construction.
