Typical tile removal releases crystalline silica, a fine dust found in tile, grout and thinset that can irritate the lungs and linger long after the job is done.
Covering the furniture won't stop it
These particles behave more like smoke than dust. They slip through gaps in plastic sheeting and doorways, spread through the HVAC system to rooms far from the work area, and settle deep into couches, curtains, rugs and bedding, where they are released again months later.
How our system works
- Dust is captured right at the source with high-efficiency vacuums.
- HEPA filtration cleans the air while we work.
- Your vents stay clean and your home stays livable during the project.
People with asthma, COPD, long COVID or other breathing conditions, as well as seniors, children and pets, are most sensitive to airborne particles. Not intended as medical advice.
