How to Get Rid of Construction Dust

How to Get Rid of Construction Dust

If your business has just undergone renovations, one thing is for certain: You’re bound to encounter construction dust. This messy stuff is a natural product of the use of construction tools and, though irritating and inconvenient, is pretty much unavoidable. 

Think of it this way: Creating something entirely new out of nothing is a very messy process, and you, your employees, and your customers will appreciate the renovation your business has received in the end. Try to be patient with your building’s renovators as they work to control dust levels!

However, as unavoidable as post-construction dust can be, and as an understanding of its natural occurrence as you are, you must still clean it up. Aside from being an obvious aesthetic concern, dust made of the right materials can pose very real health risks to your employees and customers alike. For the safety of all those who visit your business and for the sake of a professional appearance, it’s essential that you know how to rid your facility completely of meddlesome construction dust after the renovation is complete.

The Firm is experienced in mitigating potential appearance-related concerns and safety hazards through expert post-construction cleanup

What Is Post-Construction Cleanup? 

Construction is messy. From drills to sanders, your final product won’t look final when your construction crew is done with it. It’ll probably look dusty and a bit like a workshop, with debris lying around and a fine layer of inscrutable powder covering everything. 

Construction cleaning takes care of all this and readies your room for employees and customers alike. There are multiple categories of it, including the following. 

Active Construction Cleaning

If you’d like to keep things as clean as possible during construction, we’ll work to maintain a level of cleanliness in the room and keep workers and visitors safe. 

In this type of post-construction cleanup, we might sweep the subfloors to prepare them for flooring installation, get rid of any remaining construction adhesive, toss debris, and generally give the room a tidy-up after work wraps up every evening – or however often you’d like! 

Cleaning while construction is ongoing is typically not extensive, but it keeps your building operational until your project is complete. 

Final Interior Cleaning

The construction cleanup team is much more thorough and detailed at this stage. This kind of cleaning involves a comprehensive approach, wherein floors are vacuumed, applicable carpets are cleaned, and ducts and vents are ridden with dust. 

If you’re looking for something extensive, final interior cleaning is perfect for you. As its name suggests, it often takes place after a project is completed.

Exterior Construction Cleaning

Finally, we also handle exterior cleaning after a remodel. These services can include window washing, trash removal, and similar tasks that a construction company might not care to handle.

Business Owners: Construction Dust Is Your Responsibility

As stated above, dust from the construction process is both an appearance-related problem and a potential health hazard for your business’s attendees. If this is the case for those not directly involved in the construction process, imagine what it can do to the construction workers exposed to it daily. 

As a business owner who cares, it’s your duty to both keep dust levels down and clean up afterward properly. You’ll keep your workers, your hired construction workers, and your company’s image healthy for years to come.

Likewise, ethical construction companies will do their part to reduce the dust their workers will leave behind, especially if they work with potentially hazardous materials. Speak to the applicable personnel you’ve hired about their dust-reduction and on-the-job removal process, as they might have some helpful tips. 

Aside from that, a thorough cleanup job after the renovation is complete is your responsibility as a business. How can you begin to go about this?

Maintaining Dust During Construction

Remember how we said your construction company would probably also strive to keep dust levels down? They’ll most likely be using techniques such as vacuuming or ventilation-related procedures. Not only should you ask what this company recommends for cleanup, but also what your business should be doing on a daily schedule to keep your customers and employees safe and your facility’s aesthetic pristine. 

Ongoing maintenance and prevention is the key to easy cleanup – just ask a construction cleaning company like us!  

Hire a Professional Cleaning Crew

Undertaking the removal of construction dust is time-consuming and requires specialized knowledge of the process. As we stated above, dust can hide away in the strangest of places, and when that dust could be hazardous to your health, only a professional should take care of it. 

Consider The Firm Facility Services for all of your post-construction cleaning needs. We know all about dust and its hiding spots because we have experience in everything from commercial flooring installation to commercial carpentry. 

Combine this with our expertise in janitorial services, and you have a unique, all-in-one solution for post-construction cleanup. There is no need to vet countless contractors when we’re on the job!

Only Hire the Best

Exposure to toxic dust is no laughing matter. Hiring construction companies with the proper credentials and licensing is crucial to keeping everyone involved safe. However, it’s not just construction projects that can mean exposure to dangerous levels of dust. 

Certain carpentry projects, like drywall, also can prove hazardous. Whether you’re looking for handyman services, carpentry, construction, or something in between, make sure to assess the dust risk and inquire about it before hiring any given company. 

Luckily, with The Firm Facility Services on the job, you can trust that all of your repairs or installations will be completed safely and efficiently.

Why Hire The Firm for Post-Construction Cleanup?

Work on your end doesn’t stop just because your building is getting worked on. However, construction is noisy and messy. While it isn’t possible to pretend nothing at all is happening, these are aspects of construction your employees and clients shouldn’t have to deal with. Play it smart and play it safe with construction-cleanup services.

Can you imagine having your own staff picking up after a construction company? They’ve got other jobs to do! They also don’t have the training we do to mitigate the health risks we discussed above. 

Post-construction cleaning is multifaceted and somewhat dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.
