Concrete core drilling services

---

Concrete core drilling is a precise, non-destructive method of creating clean, round openings in concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, and stone. Using diamond-tipped core bits, this process allows for accurate penetrations without cracking, excessive vibration, or structural damage.

Core drilling is the industry-standard solution for projects that require accuracy, safety, and a professional finish, especially in occupied or finished spaces.

Concrete core drilling is commonly required when building systems need to pass through concrete surfaces. Typical applications include:

• Plumbing pipes and floor drains
• Electrical conduit and cabling
• HVAC ducting and refrigerant lines
• Fire protection piping and sleeves
• Structural anchors and dowels

It’s also frequently used during renovations and retrofits, where new services must be installed in existing concrete without damaging surrounding materials.

If a project requires exact hole placement or drilling near reinforcement, core drilling is the safest and most reliable option.

We provide core drilling in all orientations and conditions:

• Slab drilling for floor penetrations in suspended and ground-bearing slabs
• Wall drilling for horizontal or angled penetrations through concrete or masonry
• Ceiling and overhead drilling, completed with proper anchoring and safety controls

Each setup is chosen based on material thickness, access, and site conditions to ensure clean, controlled results.

We drill a wide range of hole sizes to meet project requirements, including:

• Small-diameter service holes
• Common mechanical and electrical sizes
• Large-diameter penetrations for ducts and sleeves

Hole depth and diameter are matched to slab or wall thickness and trade specifications.

Concrete often contains rebar, post-tension cables, electrical conduit, and plumbing lines. Drilling without knowing what’s inside can result in serious safety risks, structural damage, and costly delays.

That’s why we strongly recommend concrete scanning before drilling. Using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), we locate embedded elements so drilling can be completed safely and accurately—protecting both the structure and everyone on site.

We provide concrete core drilling services throughout Toronto, Simcoe County, Muskoka, Barrie, Innisfil, and surrounding Ontario communities.
