Is it really that dusty and can it be avoided with the DustRam™ System?" open="no"]Ah, you’ve obviously heard some of the horror stories about the dust created from traditional tile and saltillo removal methods. Sadly, those stories are true, but not when it comes to the DustRam™ System for tile removal.

Maybe you thought you were forever doomed to living with the same dated and ugly tile or saltillo because you feared the mess involved. There is a choice now! The DustRam™ System allows your home or business to be remodeled without the fear of toxic, dangerous concrete dust invading and overtaking every square inch of your living space.[/toggle][toggle title="My flooring retailer, designer or installer assures me using plastic and tape will work just fine to contain the mess and the dust. Is this a professional approach and does this really work?" open="no"]If you’re particular about your home or have health issues, the answer is no. Plastic might help keep some dust contained, such as in a lone bathroom. However, if you’re removing tile and thinset, especially saltillo, travertine or slate throughout your home, simply using plastic and tape does little to address your walls, ceilings, furniture, closets, window treatments, electronics, etc. Even if it could be made to work, removing the plastic is extremely dusty once the plastic is covered in dust. The key to the DustRam™ System is capturing all the dust the very split second it’s created, preventing the dust from migrating through the air.[/toggle][toggle title=" I have an occupied home or business and I'm really concerned about my stuff getting covered in dust. Is it really true you can remove tile and thinset virtually dust free with the DustRam™ System?" open="no"]Absolutely! Please watch some of our videos, and please watch them in their entirety. Many of the longer videos document the full process and are edited only for time.[/toggle][toggle title="I'm purchasing a home and when I take possession the home will be empty. Do I still need the DustRam™ System tile removal services?" open="no"]Yes, the DustRam™ System can prevent very expensive damage to your concrete and damage to your central air handling system. If traditional low cost or even “free” tile removal services are used, you run the real risk of severe concrete damage from other competitor’s tile and thinset removal process. Your air ducts and heating and cooling system can also become covered in fine dust, requiring expensive and professional cleaning. Your walls and even your ceilings will also be covered with very fine concrete dust. The DustRam™ System not only preserves the integrity of your concrete, but it also dramatically contributes to the overall flatness of your concrete, all dust free. You will save money on concrete repair, materials, installations and the cleaning of your home because of the precision of our services.[/toggle][toggle title="I'm a designer or flooring retailer/contractor and I already have installers doing my tear outs. Why would I want to change over to using the DustRam™ System?" open="no"]The DustRam™ System gives you access to a brand new market, which is currently untouchable in your business model. You are missing out on ALL the particular customers, including those with extreme health and allergy issues. These types of clients often are unwilling to remodel their homes or change their old flooring because they are EXTREMELY aware of the negative side effects of careless and sloppy tile and saltillo removal services. Offering this service in conjunction with the traditional method of tile removal opens your business up to endless possibilities. The time will soon come where if you’re not offering the DustRam™ System as a service, your competitors who are will be getting those clients.[/toggle][/accordian][/one_full][/fullwidth]
