Can you cut out part of a slab instead of replacing it all?
Usually, yes. Concrete cutting in Beaumont, TX means running a diamond saw along a marked line through a driveway, patio, floor or wall, so a broken section or a strip over a pipe comes out and the good concrete around it stays put.
Most calls start with one bad piece, like a sunken corner of the driveway or a drain line under the garage floor, and nobody wants to pay for a whole new slab to fix one corner. The price turns on how many feet we cut, how thick the concrete is and whether there's steel in it, whether it's a floor or a wall, and whether you want the pieces broken up and hauled off. The schedule turns on whether the job needs a permit and whether digging follows the cut. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your job.
How do you know your slab needs a cut?
A broken or sunken section
One panel of the driveway or patio has dropped or shattered while the rest still sits flat, which usually means the ground under that piece washed out or was never packed. A clean saw cut lets us take out just that part, and waiting lets the broken edges chip back into the good concrete.
A pipe under the slab
A drain backs up or a line leaks, and the trouble runs under the garage floor or the patio. A trench cut opens only the strip we need, and the longer a leak runs, the more ground it washes out from under the slab.
Cracks wandering across new concrete
A newer slab is cracking in random lines because nobody cut control joints, the shallow grooves that give concrete a place to crack where you choose. On a fresh pour they need cutting early, because once a crack has picked its own path, a joint cut later won't call it back.
How we handle concrete cutting
We start by marking the lines with you, so the cut lands where you want it and not an inch somewhere else. Before we cut, we scan the slab for steel, cables and live lines, because the blade shouldn't be the thing that finds them. We keep water on the blade the whole time to hold the dust down, cut to the depth the slab needs, and clean up the gray slurry the water leaves behind. Breaking up and hauling off the pieces is your call, and your estimate says whether it's part of the job.
Cutting is often the first day of a bigger job. We cut out a broken stretch so a new concrete driveway can go down on a dug-out, packed base, or cut back an old edge so a new concrete patio meets it on a straight line instead of a ragged one.
Flat sawing slabs
A walk-behind saw cuts straight down through driveways, patios, sidewalks and floors. It suits taking out a damaged section, cutting back an edge or squaring up a slab before new work goes in.
Trench cuts for lines
Two parallel cuts open a narrow strip over a drain, water line or conduit, so only that strip gets broken out. It's the way to reach a pipe under a garage or patio without losing the whole floor.
Core holes for pipes
A round hole for a pipe, drain or conduit comes from a core drill rather than a saw. It leaves a clean circle through the slab or wall instead of a square opening you'd have to patch around.

Concrete cutting, driveways and curbs in Beaumont
In Beaumont, the city's Building Codes Division issues the permit for building, repairing or changing any driveway or sidewalk. Its list names that work and not cutting by itself, so whether your cut needs a permit turns on what the cut is part of, and the city has the current terms and fees. Before we cut, we look up what the city or county office for your address asks for and tell you what we found. Work that reaches the curb or the street has its own rules, which the questions below cover.
A lot of the cutting we do here is taking out a section of driveway or patio that dropped because the base under it was never dug out and packed, and wet ground finds that out fast. We cut back to concrete that's still sitting on solid ground, and we see the same thing on jobs in Nederland and Port Neches.
Questions about concrete cutting in Beaumont
How much does concrete cutting cost in Beaumont, TX?
Across the US, saw cutting an accessible 4- to 6-inch concrete slab usually costs about $4 to $10 per linear foot, and that's a national guide's figure, not our price. Reinforced or deeper slabs and wall sawing run more per foot, and a small job may be priced by a minimum charge instead of by the foot. Your written estimate gives you the number for your slab.
Does the price of cutting concrete include hauling it away?
Not always, because cutting and removal are separate jobs and some cutters saw the lines and leave the panels where they sit. Breaking, hauling and disposal can add more than the sawing itself, so ask before you compare quotes. Ours says in writing whether hauling is included.
Why do you scan a slab before cutting concrete?
Because cutting into a tensioned cable or a live electrical line inside a slab can kill someone, and a scan shows where they are before the blade does. One safety field guide calls scanning the number-one rule of cutting, for finding rebar, post-tension cables and live conduit. Rebar is the steel that holds a slab together and post-tension cables are steel strands pulled tight inside it, so nicking one isn't a small mistake.
Do I need a permit to cut a driveway or curb in Beaumont?
You might, depending on how much ground the job disturbs and whether it reaches the street. A city driveway handout says construction on private property that disturbs more than 450 square feet needs a grading permit, while smaller jobs don't need that one. Any construction, installation or removal in the public right-of-way, the strip along the street the city controls, needs a city permit, and work that closes part or all of it also needs a Street Cut and Barricading permit, with a few exceptions.
How long does concrete cutting take in Beaumont?
The cutting is usually the quick part, and the wait comes from scheduling, any permit and whether digging follows the cut. In Texas, anyone planning to dig 16 inches or deeper with machines has to call 811, with some exceptions, no sooner than 14 days and no less than two working days before digging. We'll tell you at the estimate which of those waits your job has.
What is the best way to keep concrete dust down when cutting indoors?
Keeping water on the blade is the best way, because it substantially reduces the dust from cutting concrete, brick and block, so ask any crew cutting inside your home whether they do it. Most flat and wall sawing runs wet, which also helps the blade last, but the water turns into runoff that has to be vacuumed up or contained. Dry cutting, common with smaller hand saws, leans on the blade and a vacuum instead.
Concrete jobs that often follow the saw
If the saw is taking out a broken section or the whole old driveway, a new pour on a dug-out, packed base is usually the next step.
When an old patio has sunk or cracked past saving, we cut it out cleanly and pour a new one that drains away from your house.
