What is Dustless Tile Removal?
Removing tiles from your floors can be quite a hassle, especially when outdated traditional methods are used. Not only does that involve slow and painstaking labor, but it also makes a huge mess in your home, which can be hazardous to your health. That is because the dust created during the removal process is made of particulates consisting of pulverized ceramic and silica.
Dustless tile removal, sometimes called dust-free tile removal, is a method for removing tile flooring that minimizes the amount of dust particles flying around during the process. Exposure to this dust can cause all sorts of health issues, from serious respiratory illnesses to skin rashes. The dust can also get into your electronic devices and cause them to overheat or stop working entirely.
Our modern, industry-leading process prevents potential health risks caused by tile removal. By catching the silica-based dust that general tile removal tactics typically produce, we greatly reduce the risk of your family experiencing various health conditions as a result of the dust.
The Benefits of Dustless Tile Removal
- Improved Air Quality: The biggest benefit is drastically reduced dust in the air. This protects your health, especially from harmful crystalline silica dust, a known carcinogen.
- Less Mess: Since there’s much less dust floating around, there’s less cleanup required after the job is done.
- Safer for Everyone: Reduced dust means a safer work environment for the contractor and protects your family and pets from breathing in harmful particles.

Dustless Tile Removal FAQs
Traditional tile removal can leave your home shrouded in a cloud of dust. Dustless tile removal, on the other hand, uses a specialized approach to minimize dust particles significantly. We use special hammers, chisels, and grinders specifically designed for tile removal. These tools come equipped with vacuum attachments that act like mini vacuums. As the tools break up the tile and thinset mortar, these attachments capture dust particles right at the source, preventing them from dispersing into the air. Unlike regular shop vacuums, dustless tile removal relies on high-powered industrial-grade vacuums. These vacuums boast much stronger suction to ensure maximum dust capture throughout the entire removal process.
Dustless tile removal is quite versatile and can be effective on a variety of flooring materials beyond just tile. Here’s what you can typically remove using this method:
- Tile: Of course, this is the primary target for dustless removal. It works well on ceramic, porcelain, stone tile, and even Saltillo tiles.
- Natural Stone: Similar to tile, dustless removal is effective for natural stone flooring like slate or granite.
- Vinyl Flooring: This includes sheet vinyl, vinyl tiles, and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. The dustless method can handle the removal of the vinyl itself as well as the adhesive backing underneath.
- Linoleum: Like vinyl, dustless removal is a good option for removing linoleum flooring and its adhesive.
- Engineered Hardwood: While not as common as tile, dustless removal can also be used to remove engineered hardwood flooring, which is typically glued down.
Dustless tile removal is generally not recommended for walls or countertops for a few reasons. First, walls and countertops are typically made from various materials like drywall, granite, or laminate, which require different removal techniques compared to floor tile. Dustless removal methods are specifically designed for breaking up tile and capturing the dust particles generated during that process.
Dustless removal requires specific tools with integrated vacuum attachments and high-powered industrial vacuums, as well as additional steps such as setting up dust containment measures. Therefore, the overall cost may be higher than traditional methods but, ultimately, it’s an investment in the health and safety of your family. Consulting with one of our professionals can help you understand the cost difference for your specific project
Dustless tile removal can take a similar amount of time, or even be slightly faster, compared to traditional methods. This is due to the specialized equipment used and the fact that there’s less mess in the end. However, the time it takes does vary depending on the size of the area and the condition of the tile and adhesives. We can provide a more accurate estimate after an in-home visit.
In most cases, completely removing all your furniture is not necessary for dustless tile removal. This is because our team performs special dust containment measures to protect your home and furniture. Dustless removal contractors typically use plastic sheeting, drapes, or other barriers to create a containment zone around the work area. This helps to isolate dust and prevent it from spreading throughout your house. Plus, the dust capture systems in dustless removal tools are designed to target dust particles at the source as the tile is removed. This minimizes the amount of dust escaping into the surrounding air.
