Tile Removal
TILE REMOVAL – No Dust! No Mess! Dust Free Tile Removal in Houston & Texas
Traditional tile and stone removal processes often involve sledgehammers, chisels and chipping hammers and the amount of dust produced is enormous. Dust control systems are relatively new to the flooring removal industry and Cutting Edge Tile Removal is now the industry leader in the Houston, TX area, thanks to DustRam®. The DustRam® System Equipment is the most effective dust elimination system of tile removal tools designed to capture the dust at the source in every step of the removal process. The DustRam® System Equipment, used in conjunction with high powered, high performance vacuums, can capture the dust the second that it is created.
Another benefit of this amazing system is that it alleviates the dangers of health concerns related to exposure to Crystalline Silica dust. By not allowing the dust to become airborne and contaminate the air inside the home, the homeowner is spared from unnecessary and long term exposure to this harmful dust. Crystalline Silica is a known human lung carcinogen and is the cause of Silicosis, a respiratory disease caused by the inhalation of this dangerous dust.

Another benefit of the DustRam® System Equipment is that the sub floor is prepped for the next flooring installation far better than a traditional tile demolition project could ever provide. In a traditional tile removal, contractors typically use a floor scraper tool to “remove” as much thinset as possible. Unfortunately, due to the vibrations of the floor scraper, this method leaves thousands of little ridges of thinset on the concrete and can also puncture the surface if your subfloor has ‘soft’ concrete. These ridges of remaining thinset prevent the proper bonding to the foundation of your new flooring. For decades Contractors have used this method because properly grinding the thinset off the slab was not an option due to the inability to capture the dust created. Traditional tile removal tools and processes will create such a mess that your home will literally look like a dust bomb went off inside.
With our investment in the latest technology, the DustRam® System Equipment, Cutting Edge Tile Removal can grind off all of the thinset from your subfloor while leaving the slab cleaner and smoother than the day it was originally poured – DUST FREE! Our equipment and staff will leave your foundation better prepared for your new flooring, which will lay flatter, look nicer and last much longer.

HUGE, DUSTY MESSThe dust created by the chipping of the tile or stone, as well as the grout and grinding of thin-set, will permeate every inch of your home. You will find it in your closed cabinets, drawers, air ducts and even inside boxes in the attic. This causes costly and time consuming cleanup. |
DUST FREE!The dust created by the impact of the chipping hammer is captured by our patented Dust Ram system the instant it is created. Our patented system also allows us to capture the dust created during the grinding of the thin-set. This saves time and money. No cleaning company needed. |
UNHEALTHYThe dust created from chipping and grinding tile, and stone, along with grout and thin-set is crystalline silica dust. This dust is the only cause of the incurable respiratory disease called silicosis. It is also a human lung carcinogen (Cancer Causing). |
HEALTHYThe dust created during the demolition of your tile and stone floor is crystalline silica. The Dust Ram system captures the dust before it becomes airborne, protecting your family from exposure to this dangerous dust. |
DAMAGED CONCRETE SLABTraditional methods of tile removal require that the thin-set be scraped off with an attachment to the chipping hammer. This often leaves pits in the concrete, not to mention does a poor job of removing all of the thin-set. This leaves your slab poorly prepared for your next floor. |
READY FOR NEW FLOORINGThe Dust Ram system allows us to grind off remaining thin-set properly, and captures the dust in the process. Since we don’t have to scrape off the thin-set, we won’t be leaving any behind. This gives you a flatter, better prepared surface, which will in turn give you a better floor installation! |
LOW TECHSome contractors still show up with sledge hammers and chisels to take out your tile. The cheaper the contractor, the less impressive the methods used. This makes them inefficient, and time is money. |
HIGH TECH – ORIGINAL AND PATENTEDWith the Dust Ram system, you get the most advanced tooling system for removing tile and capturing dust at the moment it is created, ever made. |
