Installing a sump pump requires cutting a hole in the basement floor slab for the sump pit (basin) and drilling a penetration through the foundation wall for the discharge pipe. REDCORE provides the concrete cutting services needed for sump pump installations throughout Massachusetts, including circular slab cutting for standard 18-inch and 24-inch sump basins and core drilling through foundation walls for 1.5-inch and 2-inch discharge lines. We also cut trenches in basement floors for interior perimeter drain systems that feed into the sump pit.

The sump pit cut must be clean and properly sized for the specific basin being installed. We use core drills for standard round basins and flat saws for rectangular pits, cutting through the slab cleanly without fracturing the surrounding concrete. The discharge penetration through the foundation wall is core drilled at the proper height and angle for the check valve and exterior discharge pipe routing. When the sump pump is part of a larger waterproofing system that includes an interior French drain, we also cut the perimeter trench along the basement walls.

Our sump pump concrete cutting services are available for new installations, replacements, and upgrades. We work with waterproofing contractors, plumbers, and homeowners throughout Springfield, Worcester, Pittsfield, and the greater Massachusetts area. Fast scheduling ensures your basement waterproofing project stays on track, especially during wet seasons when sump pump installation becomes urgent.

How It Works

1

Location Layout

The sump pit location is marked on the basement floor. The discharge pipe wall penetration location and height are confirmed.

2

Slab Cutting

The sump pit opening is cut in the basement slab using core drills or flat saws depending on the basin shape. The concrete is removed.

3

Wall Core Drilling

The foundation wall is core drilled for the discharge pipe penetration at the specified height and angle.

4

Perimeter Trenching (If Needed)

If an interior French drain is part of the system, perimeter trench cuts are made along the basement walls leading to the sump pit.

5

Cleanup

All cutting debris and slurry are cleaned up. The pit, penetration, and trenches are ready for the waterproofing installer.
