Are you really DUST FREE?
We pride ourselves in our technique’s and methods we have in place to Contain, Filter, Monitor and Collect the Dust created in your flooring removal. We CONTAIN the dust collected with our high powered vacuum system and remove it from you home. We believe we are 99.6% DUST FREE.
Do we need to be DUST FREE?
An emphatic YES!! The way homes are built today to be air tight to keep efficiency in energy use makes your home a prison for air born dust. Imagine introducing this dust in floor removal. Without DUST FREE you are living with the dust for years to come.
How long will it take?
Unfortunately there is not an exact science to removal as there are several ways floors are installed. Adhesives and thin set are different and also the installation could have been installed improperly. But our methods of removal are faster and more efficient than the methods used by other contractors. Our equipment will remove and have your substrate ready to receive the new floors without the excessive prep used to cover up a chip damaged substrate or to cover the thin set that in most cases wont be removed to limit the dust in traditional removal methods. Our floors are ready for new floors immediately after our removal!
Can I leave my HVAC on?
Our methods keep the dust contained, filtered and collected way
before it has a chance to enter the HVAC system in your home. However, your safety is our priority . We do ask that turn off the HVAC system to we have completed our work
Do we need to plastic off everything?
No..our removal system allows for little or no plastic, we typically drape plastic over countertops or furniture to contain chips from tile removal because of the nature of tile when its being removed
Should we get a hotel or leave during removal?
No..our removal system allows for a controlled environment in your home throughout the entire process..we have actually had customers eating in the room adjacent to the removal if that can demonstrate just how DUST FREE we are!!
Can I afford it?
We believe you can’t afford not to..the toxins released in removal are dangerous and if not collected properly will be in your home for years to come..the price is similiar to traditional methods and nearly everyone opts for it once they are given the option.
Is the dust really dangerous?
Yes..Silica dust and Formaldehyde are found in tile and hardwood when removal occurs. These toxins cause irreversible damage to respiratory systems. Particularly dangerous to elderly and young children and anyone with a history of asthma, allergies or lung problems. These dust particles are comparable to asbestos and lead which are known carcinogens.
