The answer really depends on the depth and width of the channel cut. If the channel is less than 2 inches in depth and width it is best to use a floor self leveling compound versus a concrete mixture.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is that the new concrete will not adhere well to the existing concrete floor if the channel is too narrow or shallow.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When the channel is deeper than two inches and wider than two inches then a concrete product such as Quickrete is more appropriate than the leveling compound.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">An alternative to removing old oil lines from under the concrete floor is to simply cut them flush with the concrete floor.<\/p>\n<p>To make large channel cuts in concrete basement floors you can rent concrete cutting wet saws from most home improvement centers. Keep in mind, however, there is still a great deal of mess and noise when cutting concrete basement floors, so wear proper clothes, eye and hearing protection. Also make sure the basement is properly vented when cutting a concrete basement floor as the gas fumes generated by the saw could lead to asphyxia otherwise.<\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2550 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-1.jpg\" alt=\"Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-1.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For more help on Basement Additions<\/span><\/b>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Basement Remodeling Bid sheet<\/span><\/a><\/b>.
