Basement bathroom addition - requires about 12' of trenching into the slab for waste lines...
Quote for concrete saw work was about $1700. It's not entirely about cost (though partially that), but the room is adjacent to areas very sensitive to dust and so I am wondering: would attempting to make these trenches in a very controlled way by drilling "dotted lines" with a rotary hammer (with dust collection) and breaking them out with the hammer in "chisel mode" be a realistic option?
I have plenty of time and patience - more these than dollars - but didn't want to go down this path if it was basically an idiot move
Has anyone experience with trenching a slab this way?
Thanks!
