THIN-SET REMOVAL
Thin-set. Even the most “construction savvy” home and business owners may be unfamiliar with this term. However, mention ceramic tile, carpet, or vinyl flooring, and everyone nods. Above all, the term thin-set is much less recognizable, most likely because you can’t see it, that is until you begin to remove your flooring.
Thin-set is the adhesive used to bond tiles (ceramic, stone, and vinyl, to name a few) to sub and concrete floor. It’s the glue that holds your flooring in place.
If you have decided that it’s time to redo your floor coverings, removal of the current materials is your first step – and this includes thin-set. Often, people begin this process themselves only to discover the thin-set layer remaining on the floor after the tile has come off. Certainly, hiring a professional firm to remove the thin-set is wise. For instance, the job can be complicated and time-consuming. Above all, ensuring that your subfloors or underlying concrete is perfectly clean and smooth is critical to the proper installation of your new flooring.

Protecting Your Property
When we arrive at your location to begin the thin-set removal process, our first order of business is to prepare your property for the work that is about to take place. Thin-set removal can be messy.
The combination of first scraping the adhesive off the floors and then grinding the floors to make sure they are smooth creates both debris and a considerable amount of dust. First, we install temporary ramps. Because of this, your floors are protected from our heavy equipment. Next, we seal off all adjacent areas with plastic sheeting and tape. We also cover countertops and cabinets. This protects your property from the dust.
Taking these steps prior to starting the removal process ensures the well-being of your property; your home, outside of the work area will remain clean and dust-free.
THIN-SET REMOVAL
Regardless of the type of tile your thin set holds in place or the surface to which the flooring was affixed, our JBL professionals are equipped to help with the removal.
First, we will leverage our equipment. This allows us to work efficiently; jobs can often be completed in as little as one day. If your job is in a commercial location we can work with you to ensure minimum disruption to your business.
Our professionals also work by hand to ensure that any remaining thin set is removed from the corners and edges of your rooms. Once we are sure your floors are free of all adhesive materials, we bring in our grinders. These help smooth the floors and ready them for their next treatment. All of our equipment, both mechanical and hand tools, are designed to capture dust as we work, helping to maintain the quality of the air in your home.
At the conclusion of the removal, we use our industrial vacuums with filters to remove all of the remaining dust in the work area. Finally, when leaving we take all work related debris with us. We NEVER leave trash on your property. Your home or place of business will be in the same condition, minus the thin set, that it was upon our arrival.
