| How long should I wait before cutting new concrete? |
| Expansion joints should be saw cut during the first 12 to 24 hours (depending on climate conditions) after pouring the concrete in order to elevate the stresses that build up on the concrete. Premature sawing causes excessive spalding to the sides of the cut as well as wear on the diamond blades used for cutting the concrete. Materials used and climate conditions will determine the proper time for cutting new concrete. |

| What preparations can I do to cut the cost of a window package? |
Excavate the area around your window for easier access for our equipment and men. Your opening has to be at least 1 foot wider than the vertical cut line, 4 feet away from the wall and 6 inches lower than the bottom cut line. Approximately 72ā€¯ x 48ā€¯ x 24ā€¯ deep.
* Purchase window(s) and window well(s) to your requirements. Have them on site for installation.
* Cutting from the outside decreases time on site and equipment required. |

| Our units are self-contained however our charge for water, pump and 120v 30amp generator is at an extra cost to you. The cost will be less to you if adequate hook ups for power and water are provided on site. |

| My basement is fully finished. Can you cut a window without causing water damage? |
| Preventable measures are taken to decrease the risk of water damage to the surrounding environment however due to unforeseen circumstances the risk still remains. With proper knowledge given to us before commencing the job, water damages can be prevented and controlled. |
