Avoid Tiresome Tile Removal With Dust Free Tile Removal Gear

Small amounts of tile can be removed with a hammer and bolster, but this is laborious and time-consuming. A small hand-held jackhammer can make the job easier, but you’re stuck with the dusty and time-consuming task of removing the tile glue.

One of the most effective ways to get rid of glue is with a concrete grinder with a vacuum attachment.

When removing tiles, Kodiak Tile and Stone uses industrial-sized electric jackhammers fitted with specially designed blades and dust shrouds. We then use concrete grinders with vacuum attachments of varying sizes to get rid of the tile adhesive.

 

Let Kodiak Tile and Stone Fix Thinset Removal

If the tiles “pop” off the glue or are already “dummy,” ceramic or porcelain tiles laid on concrete glue can be easily removed. The tiles are much more difficult to remove when laid on black rubber glue because they only chip away into small pieces.

The tile adhesive, whether grey concrete glue or black rubber glue, can range in thickness from 3-10 mm and is always the last thing to be removed.

Using a jackhammer or a floor scraper to get rid of this glue is possible, but be warned that doing so creates dangerous levels of silica dust.

So instead, the most efficient method is to use a concrete diamond grinder equipped with a vacuum to remove the tile adhesive and dust as you go. The result is a smooth, clean surface that is often ready for new flooring to be installed.
