It is increasingly common in older Toronto neighborhoods for landlords to do minor drywall patching or for sellers to do a quick “flip” renovation right before the property changes hands. The problem? Construction creates ultra-fine drywall and silica dust that settles on every horizontal surface, wall, and ceiling.
Using a standard household vacuum or a wet rag on drywall dust will either blow the particles back into the air or turn the dust into a stubborn, muddy paste.
The Post-Renovation Extraction Protocol:
- HEPA-Filtered Dry Extraction: We do not apply liquids to construction dust. We first use commercial vacuums equipped with HEPA filtration to extract the ultra-fine silica particles from baseboards, window tracks, and cabinet interiors without exhausting them back into the room.
- Micro-Dust Wipedown: Once the bulk of the dust is removed, we use slightly damp, high-pile microfiber cloths to capture the remaining residue off walls, light fixtures, and trim, leaving a perfectly smooth, paint-ready finish.
- Airborne Particle Mitigation: We clean the exterior of HVAC return vents to ensure the home’s heating and cooling system isn’t immediately clogged by lingering construction dust when the new occupants turn it on.
Hand over a beautifully renovated home, not a dusty construction zone.
