Here is a video that will help you understand how dust free thinset removal is done and why it’s so important.

We created this page to show how our dust free services are unique.  We also recommend you research OSHA and their page on the dangers of exposure to silica dust from removing thinset from a concrete floor.

A common question asked by people who call Arizona Home Floors is will their floors be ready for new tile/wood to be installed?  For that answer, please click the photos you see below and that give you a great idea, but typically, in over 95 of cases, YES, the floors are all prepared and ready to go for new floor installation.

If you see the video that is on this page above, you can clearly see the bare concrete subfloor and how well it looks.  Below is a video showing saltillo tile thinset being removed:

The DustRam System tile removal process flattens the higher spots, while preserving the thinset in the lower spots.

Floor Preparation in Phoenix

The DustRam® System  Equipment Reduces Floor Preparation!

  • See the mottling effect in the picture to the right?  Most concrete floors have minor imperfections in the sub floor surface.  Our patented process of removing the thinset makes concrete floors smoother, flatter and closer to being installation ready.
  • During the thinset removing process, our DustRam® grinding tools reduce or minimize high spots in your concrete or tile cement board – resulting in dramatically flatter sub floors.
  • Some contracting companies use powerful hammer drills incorrectly during ceramic tile concrete removal which severely damages the surface of your concrete sub floor and incurs additional unanticipated repair costs.

Click here to open this picture in a new window, it shows just how thick the thinset is compared to Jack’s finger. This saltillo thinset needs to be ground down and removed prior to installation of new floors.

  • With our DustRam® System, your sub floor is typically better prepared for the next installation of new ceramic tile, stone, hardwood, laminate or any other flooring you select.
  • If you or your installer believe there is a hump in your floor that needs to be ground down to install your new flooring, it could actually be a low spot in the sub floor that creates the illusion of a hump.  We recommend you watch the short video below to see why using a 5′, 6′, or 8′ straight-edge can be incredibly inaccurate for properly determining the flatness of your floor.
  •  High or low spots are best identified by using multiple straight-edges of at least a 10′ or longer length.

The video below shows some of what to expect when a floor has hundreds of micro high and low spots.

The floors are now prepared for the installers to come and put down new wood look tile.  It not only saves them time, but it makes sure that the concrete floors have the thinset completely removed to guarantee a great installation.
