Dustless Drywall Sanding
Occupied Space Dust Control
Occupied space dust control combines containment, HEPA extraction, HVAC isolation, and daily cleanup so drywall work can proceed in a building that remains in use. It is standard practice for occupied homes, tenanted units, and operating commercial premises.
About Occupied Space Dust Control
Most of our residential work happens in homes people are still living in, and most of our commercial work happens in buildings that cannot close. The controls are the same in both cases; what changes is the emphasis on the daily routine.
Containment goes up before the first cut and comes down at the end. HVAC in the work area is sealed. Walk off matting catches what travels on shoes. And critically, cleanup happens at the end of every day rather than at the end of the job, so you are never living with a week of accumulated debris.
Why this matters
- The space stays usable throughout the work
- Daily cleanup rather than a single clean at the end
- HVAC isolated so dust does not enter the whole building
- Clear communication about which days are disruptive
How we work
Our Process
How a occupied space dust control project runs from first contact through final walkthrough.
Step 1: Assess and Scope
We walk the space, assess existing conditions, and confirm exactly what the occupied space dust control work needs to achieve.
Step 2: Written Estimate
A clear written scope covering inclusions, exclusions, materials, finish level, and a realistic schedule.
Step 3: Protect and Contain
Floors, furnishings, and adjacent areas protected, with containment installed before any dust producing work.
Step 4: Execute
The occupied space dust control work carried out with quality checked at each stage rather than only at the end.
Step 5: Clean and Walk Through
Full cleanup and debris removal, then a walkthrough with you before we consider the work complete.
