Wall Sawing

What Is Concrete Wall Sawing?

Concrete wall sawing uses a track-mounted saw with a diamond blade to make precise vertical and horizontal cuts in concrete walls. The saw travels along a track anchored to the wall itself, so every cut stays straight, square and exactly where the plans say it should be, even high on a wall where handheld equipment can’t deliver a clean line.

Unlike breaking concrete out with a sledgehammer or wrecking ball, wall sawing removes exactly the section you need gone and nothing else. Cuts come out clean and controlled, edges are smooth and ready to finish, and the surrounding structure is never compromised. Water cools the blade as it cuts, keeping dust to a minimum, a major advantage when the work happens inside a finished or occupied building.

Wall sawing is a core part of our concrete cutting services, and Siler’s has been cutting walls across Seattle, Tacoma and Western Washington since 1999, for homeowners, general contractors and municipalities alike.

When You Need It

What Wall Sawing Is Used For

If a concrete wall is standing where the plans need an opening, a wall saw is the right tool. These are the calls we take most often across the Seattle-Tacoma area:

01

Door & Window Openings

New or enlarged door and window openings in poured concrete, foundations and CMU block, cut square, to exact dimensions, and ready for framing.

02

HVAC & Mechanical Penetrations

Clean penetrations through concrete walls for ductwork, piping and mechanical runs, sized to spec so the trades behind us aren’t left grinding edges.

03

Elevator Shafts & Stairwells

Structural openings for elevators, staircases and utility access points in commercial buildings, precise cuts where there’s no room for error.

04

Utility Access

Selective cuts that let electricians and plumbers reach pipes, wires and conduit embedded in concrete, with minimal damage to the surrounding structure.

05

Remodels & Renovations

Resizing doorways and windows, opening up walls and removing wall sections so an existing structure can match a new floor plan.

06

Removing Protrusions

Cutting away columns, beams, corbels and other reinforced protrusions for a flush wall surface, without damaging the adjoining structure.

Equipment & Capabilities

Built for Deep, Precise Cuts

Our crews run track-mounted wall saws with diamond blades that cut through reinforced concrete up to 36 inches thick. Because the saw is anchored to the wall, it delivers accurate vertical and horizontal cuts at any height, work a slab saw simply can’t reach.

Every cut is water-cooled to protect the blade and control dust, and our operators follow strict safety protocols to minimize vibrations, dust and noise, the same discipline whether we’re cutting in an occupied office building or a residential basement.

Cutting a slab or floor instead? That’s flat sawing. Round penetrations call for core drilling, and for extra-thick or irregular sections we bring the wire saw.

Commercial Wall Sawing

The Wall Sawing Contractor Washington GCs Call Back

Most of our wall sawing work is commercial: tenant improvements, new construction and municipal projects across Western Washington. General contractors and project managers bring us in because we show up when the schedule says, cut exactly what the drawings show, and keep the site safe and clean while we do it.

We work closely with GCs to sequence our cuts around other trades and meet project timelines, including occupied buildings, tight-access floors and after-hours windows. Recent wall sawing projects:

How It Works

How Wall Sawing Works with Siler’s

A cut-only contractor leaves the break-out and the haul-off to somebody else. Siler’s cuts to your marked lines, breaks out the sections and hauls them off with one crew, so nothing falls between subs.

01

Free Estimate

Call (206) 901-9383 or send us the job details. We quote wall sawing fast. And with 24/7 availability we work around your schedule, not the other way around.

02

Plan Before We Cut

When you want to know what’s inside the wall before we cut, GPR concrete scanning can be arranged to locate rebar, conduit and post-tension cables before the blade ever touches concrete.

03

Cut to the Line

The track is anchored, the opening is cut to your marked lines, and the saw does the rest: clean, square, water-cooled cuts with dust kept under control.

04

Removal & Pour-Back

We haul off the cut sections through our concrete breaking & disposal service. And if concrete needs to go back, our trench pour-back crew pours it back like it never happened.

Sound Familiar?

✕  An opening that’s out of square, so the frame or the duct doesn’t fit.

✕  A second sub to schedule for haul-off, and a third for the pour-back.

We built our process to take every one of these off your plate. One call. One crew. One line on your schedule.

Wall Sawing FAQs

Concrete Wall Sawing Questions, Answered

Flat sawing cuts horizontal surfaces (slabs, floors and pavement) with a walk-behind saw, while wall sawing uses a track-mounted saw to make precise cuts in vertical surfaces like walls and foundations. If you need a trench cut in a garage floor, that’s flat sawing; if you need a new door or window opening in a concrete wall, that’s wall sawing. Many projects need both, and Siler’s crews handle the two together.

Our wall saws run diamond blades that cut through reinforced concrete up to 36 inches thick. For sections beyond blade reach (or oddly shaped, heavily reinforced concrete) we bring in wire sawing instead, which handles thicknesses a circular blade can’t.

Yes. Wall sawing is well suited to occupied buildings: the blade is water-cooled, which keeps dust to a minimum, and our operators follow strict safety protocols to minimize vibrations, dust and noise. We routinely cut in operating offices, apartment buildings and commercial spaces, and we coordinate timing with building management so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.

We can. Cut sections can be broken down and hauled off through our concrete breaking and disposal service, so you’re not left with slabs of concrete on the floor. And if the opening later needs to be closed up or the area restored, our trench pour-back crew handles the pour-back.

Both. Most of our wall sawing volume is commercial (tenant improvements, new construction and municipal work), but the same crews cut window openings in foundations, basement doorways and egress openings for homeowners across Seattle, Tacoma and Western Washington. Every job starts with a free estimate, and we’re available 24/7.
