Woodward Concrete Cutting · Layton, UT
Core Drilling in Layton and Across Northern Utah
Core drilling is how you get a clean, round hole through existing concrete without cracking the slab or wall you're keeping. We drill for plumbing and electrical conduit, HVAC lines, dryer vents, floor and wall dowels, anchor bolts, handrail and bollard footings, and core test samples. Our diameters run from small anchor holes up to large pipe and duct openings, and we can drill straight down through a floor, horizontally through a wall, or overhead into a ceiling. Because a cored hole is permanent, we take the time to set it right on the mark and keep the water and slurry from making a mess. Call or text for a free estimate anywhere from Ogden down to Salt Lake City.
What's included
Core Drilling, done the right way.
- We core small anchor and dowel holes as well as large openings for pipe, duct, and conduit, all in the diameter your job calls for.
- We drill at any angle you need, whether that's straight down through a floor slab, horizontally through a wall, or overhead into a ceiling.
- We keep the water and slurry controlled so your site stays clean and we stay inside OSHA silica rules.
- We handle utility and culvert work, coring block and stone as readily as poured concrete.
- We line every hole up on the mark before we drill, because a cored hole is permanent and there's no undoing a bad one.
Placement is permanent
A cored hole doesn't come back once it's cut, so where it lands and how clean it is both matter. Put a hole in the wrong spot and you're patching structural concrete and starting over, which costs more than getting it right the first time. Coring instead of hammering gives you a smooth round hole with clean walls, so the pipe or anchor seats the way it should and the concrete you're keeping stays strong through Northern Utah's freeze and thaw swings. Controlling the water and slurry keeps silica dust down too, which keeps the crew safe and your site clean.

Tell us what you need
Call or text with the size of the hole, what it's for, and where it goes. We'll give you a free estimate, and we can often bid it from a photo or a quick text.
We mark and drill
On the day we said, our crew lines the hole up on the mark and cores it clean at the right diameter and angle, keeping the water and slurry controlled the whole time.
Clean hole, clean site
You get a smooth round hole ready for your pipe, conduit, or anchor, and we leave the area tidy. If you've got more holes to drill down the road, you know who to call.
