My electric meter is 18" inside my garage, ceiling height, and the gas is same height at the rear. Both feeds come up through the garage floor
My driveway slopes down a tiny bit and doesn't exactly flood near the house but puddles a bit and a small amount of water can enter the garage and pool on the first 3 feet of floor
I'd like to insert some gulley by cutting a slot into the driveway pretty much the along the garage and the front porch which is to the immediate left. ( mains electric rises through garage floor on the left)
How safe would it be to use a disc cutter to slit the concrete?
I would start in what I guess is the safest area - to the right- and break the concrete from right to left as I progress so I can scoop under the concrete where the gas or electric might be.
I am talking 4-6" max and assume that the services are deeper than that even where they are close to the house? (Mid 50's built)
The idea is to remove as little as possible and insert a driveway gulley made of plastic
