Houston Demolition: Fine Dust Control on a Commercial Strip-Out

Project scenario

A Houston demolition contractor strips out a multi-floor office tower for full renovation.

Dust challenge

Drywall, insulation, fine ceiling dust, and potential lead paint on older finishes.

Site constraint

Adjacent floors remain occupied during strip-out. Tenant complaints would escalate to property management.

Why a HEPA vacuum was selected

Big Boss with continuous-bag handling moves volume; HEPA filtration prevents recirculation into adjacent floors.

Suggested vacuum setup

Dirt Eater Big Boss as primary, Dirt Eater Jr for tenant-corridor finishing, negative-air machines in parallel.

Practical workflow

Vacuum continuously during demo, daily corridor wipe-down, lead testing before any sanding or scraping of older paint.

Safety & compliance note: Pre-test for lead and asbestos on pre-1980 buildings.
