How to Cut Through a Concrete Foundation – Bathroom Plumbing

Learn how to cut into a basement floor, the foundation of the house, in order to do some plumbing for a bathtub. In this video, you’ll see the cutting, using a sledge hammer to break out the concrete, the gravel underneath and the plans for the plumbing. I used a standard Skil saw and a cheap diamond blade to do the job.
