Basement remodeling is a popular option for many homeowners. This is especially true as families begin to grow and the desire for more space becomes a necessity. In fact, the basement is ideal for these expansions and remodeling because it tends to take up the largest amount of unused space in the home. When you begin a basement remodeling job, you will need concrete slab cutting services. Here are the reasons why and what to know about each service.
Plumbing Lines
You likely already have various plumbing and electrical lines running to or through your basement. The issue is that most of these pipes are exposed and would not be suitable for a finished basement or living area. You may also have plans that would add plumbing to the area. For example, you may want to install a sink area, shower, or create an all purpose room. Other ideas, such as laundry areas or even a bar for an entertainment room will need plumbing. For this, you will likely need areas of the concrete slab cut to fit the new plumbing and connect it to existing plumbing.
Electrical Lines
There are some advanced remodeling options you may want to incorporate in your basement remodeling plans. For example, you may want to have radiant or heated flooring. This would require your concrete contractor and flooring contractor to work together. There will need to be slab cutting in order to lay the radiant flooring. You will also need to have areas cut into the slabs to connect the radiant flooring to the main electrical line of the home.
Wall Cutting and Outlets
If your walls are also concrete, you may need slab cutting services to install outlets and other electrical panels. For example, you may want to install USB charging outlets near the sitting areas of the newly remodeled basement. You may also want to set up a computer area or gaming area. These areas can require increased electrical panels and grounding plugs. Your concrete contractor can help with this by cutting into the concrete wall slabs to allow electrical contractors space to handle the wiring.
These are just a few of the concrete slab cutting services you will need for your basement remodeling. If you are ready to get started, contact the concrete contractor of your choice. They can schedule a time to assess the area and determine what services you need. They can also discuss with you the options that may best help your remodeling and renovation.
