Absolutely, and for a variety of reasons. Dust suppression becomes a major concern while removing concrete with a jackhammer. the jackhammer’s repeated motion tears down concrete and creates a fine dust particle. This dust is easily airborne and can go a long distance, causing a huge mess. It’s nearly hard to clean everything up completely.

The EnviroBoot contact person. This boot is attached to a heavy duty HEPA level filtration vacuum cleaner and fits over the jackhammer’s housing. The dust is quickly suctioned up at the point of contact and into the HEPA vacuum as the jackhammer creates it.

This airborne particulate is hazardous to one’s health. Sand, stone, and lime are the main components of concrete. Concrete is mostly made up of lime (and there is a lot of lime in concrete). It’s the glue that holds sand and stone together, yet it’s also highly poisonous to human tissue. The small particulate’s airborne nature makes it simple to inhale lime dust, posing a health risk to everyone living in the residence. It irritates the eyes and inflames the sinuses, therefore contact should be kept to a minimum. ACCL Waterproofing goes to great lengths to avoid this issue.

In the center of the basement, a negative air machine is put up. Through a huge HEPA filter, it pulls a significant amount of air from all directions. Even though the air that passes through the filter is perfectly clean, we nevertheless vent it outside. We vent outside to keep any air movement in the basement to a minimum. This method is exceptionally effective and results in a completely dust-free installation.
