Renovation Dust Removal St. Louis
Industrial-grade particulate extraction for St. Louis renovation projects. From kitchen remodels in Town and Country to bathroom renovations in Frontenac and whole-home updates in Ladue—we deploy silica dust extraction and drywall dust protocols that restore air quality to pre-construction levels.
HEPA H13 filtration captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. Negative air containment prevents cross-contamination. We eliminate the fine dust that standard cleaning leaves behind.
Particle-Level Precision
HEPA-certified equipment captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns—including construction dust, allergens, and silica that standard cleaning leaves behind.
Why Standard Cleaning Fails After Renovations
Renovation dust isn't like regular dirt. It's microscopic particles that settle into every crevice, HVAC system, and surface—then re-circulate for months.
Drywall Dust
Gypsum particles as small as 0.5 microns penetrate HVAC systems, settle on electronics, and create a persistent haze that regular vacuums just redistribute.
Concrete & Silica
Crystalline silica from concrete cutting is an OSHA-regulated health hazard. It requires specialized containment and HEPA extraction—not standard cleaning.
Wood & Sawdust
Sawdust embeds in carpet fibers, collects in ductwork, and coats every horizontal surface. It requires systematic extraction, not wiping.
Renovation Dust Removal St. Louis Process
A systematic approach that actually eliminates renovation dust—not just moves it around.
Assessment & Containment
We identify dust sources, assess HVAC contamination, and set up containment barriers for occupied spaces. Negative air machines prevent cross-contamination.
- Identify primary dust types
- Map contaminated zones
- Set up plastic barriers if needed
- Deploy negative air machines
HEPA Vacuum Extraction
True HEPA vacuums (not "HEPA-style") capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. We systematically extract from all surfaces, starting from highest points.
- Ceiling and crown molding
- Walls and windows
- Horizontal surfaces
- Floors and baseboards
Wet Wipe & Detail
After HEPA extraction, damp microfiber cloths capture remaining particles. This two-stage approach prevents the dust redistribution caused by dry dusting.
- Tacky cloth application
- Damp microfiber wipe-down
- Detail fixtures and hardware
- Window and glass cleaning
HVAC & Final Inspection
We clean accessible HVAC vents and returns, recommend filter replacement, and perform a white-glove inspection under multiple light angles.
- Clean vent covers and grilles
- Vacuum accessible ductwork
- Replace HVAC filters
- Final walkthrough inspection
Professional-Grade Equipment
The right tools for renovation-level dust challenges. Not the same vacuum your housekeeper uses.
True HEPA Vacuums
99.97% @ 0.3μm
Certified HEPA filtration, not "HEPA-style." Captures particles invisible to the naked eye.
Negative Air Machines
500+ CFM
Creates negative pressure containment. Essential for occupied buildings and silica work.
Air Scrubbers
4-Stage Filtration
Continuous air cleaning during and after dust removal. Runs until air quality targets met.
Microfiber Systems
Split-Fiber Technology
Captures and holds particles instead of redistributing. Color-coded to prevent cross-contamination.

Standard vacuums recirculate silica—the 'Settling Error' makes dust reappear 24 hours later. Our HEPA extraction with negative air principles captures particulates permanently, not just moves them.
Negative Air Containment
We create negative pressure to pull dust toward filters, not spread it through HVAC systems. Airborne silica is captured at the source.
True HEPA Capture
99.97% filtration at 0.3 microns. Silica particles (2.5+ microns) are trapped permanently in the filter, not recirculated into the air.
Multi-Pass Protocol
We clean, wait 24 hours for suspended dust to settle, then clean again. True elimination requires patience—not just a single pass.
