Foundation repair tools, step by step

Foundation repair wears out cutting tools fast. This page groups what a pier, wall anchor or drain tile crew goes through by the step of the job, from chipping the footing to prepping the wall for carbon fiber straps. Every SDS-Plus and SDS-Max bit and chisel here fits any SDS-Plus or SDS-Max rotary hammer, whatever brand your crew runs.

  • Footing & Demo: SDS-Max bull points in 12", 18" and 24", scaling chisels 1-1/2" to 3", a 5-3/8" clay spade and bushing tools, plus SDS-Plus chisels and demolition recip blades.
  • Anchors & Brackets: SDS-Plus bits from 5/32" to 1-1/4", including 4-cutter X-Cutter heads that handle rebar hits, SDS-Max X-Cutter bits to 23" overall, and stop bits for 3/16" to 3/4" drop-in anchors.
  • Rebar Cutting: rebar cutters plus SDS-Plus and SDS-Max rebar punchers from 3/8" to 1-3/4", for when a hole lands on steel.
  • Wall Anchors & Coring: X-Cutter SDS-Max bits at 36" and 52" overall, SDS-Max tunnel drills to 39", SDS-Max core bits 2" to 6" and diamond core drills 1" to 12".

  • Concrete Cutting: 14" segmented diamond wheels for slab and drain tile cuts, 4" to 7" segmented and turbo wheels for grinders, and a 4" tuck point wheel for chasing cracks.
  • Strap Prep & Finishing: 5" and 7" diamond and PCD cup wheels to grind walls to bare concrete and strip coatings, Walter HP XX grinding wheels, ALLSTEEL TURBO flap discs and wire cup brushes for burrs, rust and scale on cut pipe and brackets.

Dust and safety

Cutting, coring and grinding concrete releases respirable crystalline silica, and a basement holds it in. Cut wet where you can, or run a shroud on a HEPA-filtered extractor, and follow your company's exposure control plan. Old black cutback mastic can contain asbestos, so have it tested before you grind it.

Common questions

Will these bits fit the rotary hammers we already own?

Yes, if the hammer takes SDS-Plus or SDS-Max. The shank is the standard, not the brand, so any SDS-Plus bit fits any SDS-Plus hammer and the same goes for SDS-Max. Large breakers with their own shank are a different fit, so call us with the model.

What bit do we need for a wall anchor hole?

Check your anchor system's spec first. For the common 1-1/8" hole we carry X-Cutter SDS-Max bits at 17", 23" and 36" overall, and 1-1/4" runs out to 52".

How do we keep silica dust down in a basement?

Cut and core wet where you can, or use a shroud connected to a HEPA-filtered extractor, and follow your company's exposure control plan. Grinding with a cup wheel makes the most dust, so plan that step first.
