Is “Dust Free tile Removal” a new standard or just a fable?

Dustless tile removal at the Source

Our prospective customers are often skeptical when we tell them we can perform Dust-Free Tile Removal. They ask if they should remove all of the furniture in their home, “just in case”. They ask us if we provide and put up plastic and tape, “just as a back up”.

  In fact many confess after the job is done that they were really only expecting "Dust Control"  or “Low Dust” or even “Minimized Dust” in their homes. They never dreamed they could have “Dust Free Tile Removal”. When asked why, many have said that they were told by professional demolition companies that “Dustless Tile Removal”  is only a “Myth” or is “Just Not Possible”. Many were convinced that “Dust Free Flooring Removal” could only be a bunch of marketing hype.

It is time to set the record straight and have an honest conversation about what is and what isn’t possible regarding dustless tile and thinset demolition. Let’s first define “Dust Free Tile Removal”. Dust Free Tile Removal when used in the context of this blog post is actually, scientifically speaking, “Virtually Dust Free”. Let me explain. When we refer to Dust Free Tile Removal we are using this in the context of using HEPA filtration units and HEPA filtration vacuum systems. So in this context Dust Free can only be as free of dust as HEPA filtration can prevent.

Let’s first define HEPA…

What does the term HEPA mean?

HEPA is an acronym for "High Efficiency Particulate Air" or "High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance." This acronym refers to a filter that is manufactured, tested, certified, and labeled in accordance with current HEPA filter standards. There are several sub-classes within the HEPA classification. The minimum HEPA category requires the filter to capture 99.97% of the 0.3-micron (0.000012-inch) particles in the air passing through the filter.

What is it that makes HEPA filters so efficient?


The ultra-fine, glass-fiber medium captures microscopic particles that can easily pass through other filters by a combination of diffusion, interception and inertial impaction. To meet the minimum requirements of a HEPA filter, the filter must be tested and certified to prove that it will remove at least 99.97% (9,997 out of 10,000) of particles 0.3-micron in diameter from the air passing through the filter. Particles that size are about 300 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, and 25 to 50 times smaller than we can see. To a HEPA filter, catching a one-micron particle (1/1,000,000 of a meter) is the equivalent of stopping a cotton ball with a door screen.

  2. Companies that rent out waste bins in Adelaide help ensure that rubbish is never a problem that you need to worry about. That said, you do have to be careful about which service provider to opt. Some of them do tend to do a better job and more reliable than others. Needless to say, you'd certainly want to opt for the latter.SKIP BIN HIRE AREAS SERVICED
