Need to open up our 60+ year old concrete basement floor to modify the main drain's piping. The hole will be about 1' wide by 3' long, adjacent to the basement wall. 4" cast iron drain goes into the slab at this point.
Which of these approaches would create the least dust?
- renting a jackhammer?
- using a masonry blade on either a circular saw or angle grinder?
- using a masonry bit on a hammer drill to drill holes every 1/4" or so and then knocking it out with a sledge?
- ditto except using a rented roto-hammer?
- something else?
Also, would wetting the area help keep the dust down?? Or is that just wishful thinking?
Thanks!
