The surface around my in-ground swimming pool was always slippery when it was wet. I decided last year after watching my three year old son slip and fall for the last time that I was going to have a contractor come out and resurface the area around the pool. I have spent the last several months looking into the different concrete finishing techniques that will not only provide a safe, non-slip surface, but that would also look really nice around the pool.

When you think of someone working with concrete, you might imagine someone putting down new concrete for a driveway or sidewalk. But there are also situations where you might want some concrete removed. Concrete drilling services exist for this exact purpose. Here are some of the situations where you might need to get in touch with a concrete core drilling company, like A & B Concrete Coring Company.
Concrete Core Drilling Removes a Cylinder of Concrete
When people talk about concrete core drilling, they do not mean demolition. Demolition completely removes concrete from a certain area, but core drilling leaves the concrete intact, opting instead to just remove some of the concrete from a section of the slab. This "core" often comes comes out in a cylinder-like shape.
Create Space for New HVAC or Plumbing Installations
If you want to install new plumbing or HVAC components in your house or building, you will need to have an opening where the pipes and other assorted equipment can actually go. Concrete core drilling will provide a way for professional contractors to have the access they need to actually complete these installations and get you set up and running.
Install Recessed Lights
Another reason you might need a concrete core driller's assistance is if you want to get fancy with your lighting in your house or building. Recessed lighting is, by definition, a light setup that goes up into the ceiling or wall. By removing some concrete from your ceiling, you'll have the room needed to get this new installation installed. Even if you think you could set up the lights yourself, you probably don't have a lot of experience with concrete drilling, and you risk damaging your ceiling or building if you try to do it all by yourself. Let an expert remove the concrete, and then you can worry about the lights.
Fix Drainage Issues
If your property is having issues with water runoff or standing water, removing some concrete in a key location could allow an expert to set you up with a better drainage system. This will keep the rest of your concrete or land dry and might also keep water runoff from causing issues in the local supply.
Concrete core drilling requires precision to get the job done correctly. Even if you are handy and know how to set up your own plumbing or lighting, you are probably better off letting an expert handle the concrete you will need removed before you move forward with your new installation
