Why Choose Dust-Free Tile Removal?
Many homeowners refuse to remove or replace their old tile flooring because they worry about the dust that it will create. Even some contractors don’t want to take on such a project because of the serious mess involved. DustRam® understands the health risks involved in tile removal. As a result, we have developed a unique system to solve this problem. Our DustRam® System is particularly designed to prohibit exposure to crystalline silica.
As a responsible homeowner, you should know that removing your home’s flooring can lead to exposure to harmful crystalline silica. This dust is already present in the air, but its concentration isn’t detrimental enough to cause health problems in the long run. When removing flooring, however, the concentrations of silica can reach alarmingly high levels. This applies in particular to flooring with cement-based thin-set, natural stone, tile, and leveling compound. When there’s a significant concentration of silica in an enclosed space, the levels will surely exceed OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Level.
Crystalline silica is listed as a respiratory hazard by OSHA, particularly for occupational workers. Excessive exposure to silica dust can cause silicosis and lung cancer. The NIOSH and the CDC have rated silica as a lung carcinogen. Occupational workers can minimize exposure by using the proper tools and techniques as well as wearing the appropriate gear. But if you choose to do tile removal alone, you might not have the right tools and gear to prevent exposure to silica dust.
Have you hired a general contractor or flooring contractor to remove your home’s flooring without using industrial-grade adapters and DustRam® patented tools? If the answer is yes, then they’re not doing you any favors. What they’re doing is risking excessive exposure to crystalline silica and violating OSHA’s Mitigation Standard for Crystalline Silica Dust. It’s high time to say goodbye to the traditional tile removal method and look for a certified contractor that offers dust-free tile removal.

Health Cost of DIY Tile Removal
It’s tempting to take the DIY route, especially if you’re trying to save money. However, you must know that using improper tools and techniques for tile removal can put your and your family’s health at risk. Even if you have protective gear, the whole process of removing ceramic tile requires a lot of time and effort. And in case you didn’t know, getting rid of flooring creates a pound of dust per square foot. If you’re removing tiles in a 200 square foot area, that’s equivalent to 200 pounds of harmful contaminants floating in the air. With the outdated method of dusty tile removal, silica dust particulates are more than likely to circulate within your home or office for several months.
Even if you perform deep cleaning after the process, it’s virtually impossible to get rid of the dust with ordinary cleaning equipment. The dust can cause or exacerbate breathing issues, including allergies, asthma, and COPD. Moreover, it can cause health problems in the elderly, children, and pets. Silica dust is particularly dangerous as it can lead to lung cancer with prolonged exposure. At the very least, silica dust can cause breathing difficulties because of fluid buildup and scar tissues created in the lungs. Whether you are looking for tile removal, adhesive glue removal, or thin-set removal, we’ve got you covered.
Cleaning Cost
After a traditional floor removal process, cleaning typically involves vacuuming rugs, window coverings, carpets, and upholstery. You will probably wipe the walls, ceilings, baseboards, light fixtures, windowsills, and ceiling fans. Air conditioning vents are vacuumed as well.
Of course, dust can make its way into bookshelves, hanging photos, mantels, cabinets, closets, shoes, clothing, and everything in between. On average, the cost of cleaning all this is between $550 and $800. And in many cases, you would require three or more professional cleaning sessions just to make your home dust-free. Think about how much that would set you back.
Getting rid of all dust created by traditional tile removal is necessary to avoid the health risks caused by excessive exposure to silica dust. Instead of going through all this hassle, why not get it right the first time and choose the DustRam® System of tools? All of our equipment capture dust at the moment of its creation, leaving no chance for dust particulates to circulate in your home. Hiring us means you can remove your flooring without ever worrying about dust contaminating your home. Give us a call today and schedule your dust-free tile removal!

Why Tile Dust Is Dangerous For Your Health
These are not your average dust particles. Crystalline Silica dust is found in stone, sand, grout, mortar, concrete, and more. This dust is dangerous and harmful to your health and can cause respiratory problems like Silicosis. This respiratory disease is a chronic obstructive lung disease where the dust becomes lodged in the lung sacs known as alveoli. The dust particles will cause the formation of scar tissue and will restrict the lung’s ability to take in & process oxygen.
The exposure to crystalline silica most commonly occurs occupationally at job sites that involve sawing, cutting, drilling, blasting, crushing concrete, brick, rock, stone, and much more. Exposure to this dust may result in fatal lung disease – cancer. The National Institute for Occupational Safety deems this dust so hazardous, they do not recommend bringing it home from work. You can avoid taking home the dust by following these simple steps:
- Using disposable or washable clothes at work
- Shower and change into clean clothes before going home
- Park your vehicle far away so it will not be contaminated
