Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal

Will The Job Be 100% Dust-Free?

How Do We Achieve An Almost 90 – 99.99% Dust-Free Flooring Removal and Concrete Grinding Experience For Our Clients?

Here at Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal Sydney, we specialize in Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal. We employ a speciality system that suctions and removes dust and debris directly from our tools into a powerful commercial dust extractor. Our equipment is powerful, strong, and guaranteed to significantly reduce, or even completely eradicate, the dust and debris that is often associated with Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal and replacement projects.

Our specially designed dust-free equipment makes the Astro Turf Removal process much faster than traditional Astro Turf Removal. It is also more efficient than traditional removal techniques and is substantially cleaner and safer. This gives our Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal process the added benefit of being the most environmentally friendly solution.

After the Dust-Free Astro Turf Removal process, we will grind your concrete slab with the use of high-powered Dust-Free Concrete Grinding equipment that is connected directly to a high-powered commercial dust extractor. We will also perform demolition services with the use of high-powered commercial dust extraction equipment plugged directly into our tools.

Unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be eliminated even with the most expensive high-end equipment and the latest technology. It should also be noted that certain equipment such as Jackhammers has a harder time trying to contain the dust even with the use of high-end dust extractors. While Concrete Grinders can contain dust a lot more easily. (Roughly 90 – 99.99% of the dust is still sucked up by a 3-engine high-powered commercial dust extractor that is plugged directly into the equipment) but sometimes a small amount of dust can still escape.

If you are concerned about the small amounts of dust that may get into areas that we are not working in such as the kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, etc. we would advise that you seal off those areas that we are not working in with plastic and sticky tape before our team arrives to avoid delays.

Is There Magnesite Flooring In Your Property?

If your home was built in the 1920s – 1980s, likely, your home (Especially unit blocks in NSW) could potentially have Magnesite Flooring. Magnesite is present below a flooring system such as carpet. Magnesite is a product used as a noise preventative and a Floor Levelling agent.

Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture (particularly in areas prone to moisture such as external walls, doorways, around shower recesses, near windows, laundries, etc.) Unfortunately, once Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture it starts a chemical reaction that will cause Concrete Cancer over long periods.

Because your Magnesite Flooring was laid 40 – 100 years ago, it has likely absorbed moisture over the many decades that it has been trapped under your flooring system and it has most likely started to break down and lose its strength making it an unsuitable Floor Levelling product that it once was, as well as very hollow, which destroys its soundproofing.

The best thing you can do to prevent further damage to your property and the concrete slab is to remove it ASAP. Magnesite Flooring consists of Magnesium Oxychloride, which may contain asbestos.

Since it is a health hazard and a major safety risk in NSW, if you remove your flooring system and find out there is Magnesite under it.

YOU MUST remove your Magnesite Flooring for the safety of you and everyone else in your unit block.

Strata may pay to remove your Magnesite Flooring as it is considered “Common property”. Magnesite Flooring can cause Concrete Cancer which is a major risk to everyone’s safety as well as the successful reinstallation of your new flooring system.

NO company will give you any form of warranty or insurance on any flooring installation job on a magnesite floor, which is another reason why it should always be removed.

– SERIOUS INJURIES: Sometimes Tiny pieces of Concrete or Splinters of wood can go flying in the air during the Astro Turf Removal process, this can accidentally hit your eye causing serious damage if not blindness. The tools required to perform this task are also dangerous to use for people who are not highly skilled in using these tools.

– ACCIDENTAL INJURIES: It’s easy to look up a guide on what tools to use, but injuries often occur from a lack of knowledge of how to use these tools safely.

– PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE: Inhaling dangerous silica dust by not using the correct PPE and Dust Extractors can be deadly.

The longer silicosis goes without treatment, the more likely it is to develop a complication. Because the disease affects the immune system, silicosis patients are vulnerable to developing tuberculosis, lung cancer, COPD, and kidney disease.

• • Lung Cancer.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Kidney Disease.
  • Autoimmune Disease.

Breathing in very small (“respirable”) crystalline silica particles, causes multiple diseases, including silicosis, an incurable lung disease that leads to disability and death. Respirable crystalline silica also causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and kidney disease.

What Are The Environmental Concerns Regarding AstroTurf?

Both the rubber granules (often made from recycled waste tires) and the synthetic fibres of AstroTurf are subject to wear and can be washed into the environment. Second, only to tire and road wear particles (TRWP) that make up a large portion of the fine road debris, the rubber granulate from Synthetic Turf infill constitutes a significant source of rubber pollution.

Fragments from the artificial reeds make their way into the environment as microplastic pollution in both marine as well as soil environments. AstroTurf has been shown to contribute to global warming by absorbing significantly more radiation than living turf and, to a lesser extent, by displacing living plants that could sequester carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

While athletic fields made with AstroTurf have also been shown to require less maintenance and water than natural grass fields, they can damage habitats and food supplies for worms, bees, and other burrowing insects.

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is looking into alternatives for Astro Turf fields as the material is a significant source of microplastics. In September 2022, the European Commission made a draft proposal to restrict the use of microplastic granules as infill in sports fields.

What Are The Health And Safety Concerns Regarding AstroTurf?

The rubber crumb that makes up the infill of most AstroTurf is derived from old tires. These crumbs are known to contain heavy metals, some cancer-causing compounds, and many chemicals whose effects are unknown. What is not clear is how much gets ingested, by what route – abrasions, swallowing crumbs, or inhalation – and the health effects of this exposure.

An epidemiological study was started in 2016 and is ongoing. While this data is being gathered, different groups have tried to estimate exposure and its effects. Although most of the debate has centred on whether these exposures cause cancer, there is growing evidence that exposure to these endocrine-disrupting chemicals can affect early puberty, obesity, and children’s attention spans.

Different experts have come to different conclusions. Some say we should take no chances and crumb infill should not be used: “Caution would argue against the use of these materials where human exposure is likely, and this is especially true for playgrounds and athletic playing fields where young people may be affected.” Others believe that since the overall cancer risk for adolescents is low, but the health problems from inactivity are high, the health benefits of the additional sports that can be played on AstroTurf fields outweigh the possible cancer risk.

“Regular physical activity during adolescence and early adulthood helps prevent cancer later in life. Restricting the use or availability of all-weather year-round synthetic fields and thereby potentially reducing exercise could, in the long run, actually increase cancer incidence, as well as cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses.”

A study for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection analyzed lead and other metals in the dust kicked into the air by physical activity on five AstroTurf fields. The results suggest that even low levels of activity on the field can cause particulate matter containing these chemicals to get into the air where it can be inhaled and be harmful.

The authors state that since no level of lead exposure is considered safe for children, “only a comprehensive mandated testing of fields can provide assurance that no health hazard on these fields exists from lead or other metals used in their construction and maintenance.”

A 2018 report by Yale scientists analyzed the chemicals found in six samples of tire crumbs from different companies that install school athletic fields, and nine different samples taken from nine unopened bags of rubber mulch. The researchers detected 92 chemicals in the samples. Only about half have ever been studied for their health effects, so the risks of the other chemicals are unknown. Some of the chemicals that have been tested for health effects were not examined thoroughly.

Of these chemicals that had been tested previously, 20% are considered to likely cause cancer, and 40% are irritants that can cause breathing problems such as asthma or can irritate skin and eyes. The researchers concluded that “people routinely ingest, inhale, handle, and have abrasions which contact ground tire material…Caution would argue against the use of these materials where human exposure is likely, and this is especially true for playgrounds and athletic playing fields where young people may be affected.”

Some AstroTurf uses infill such as silicon sand and/or granulated rubber, referred to as “crumb rubber”. Some granulated rubber is made from recycled car tires and may carry heavy metals that can leach into the water table. As early as 2007, a moratorium on the use of ground-up rubber tires in fields and playgrounds was recommended based on health concerns. As of 2013, the EPA called for further studies to monitor the impact of particulate matter from fields and playgrounds that use AstroTurf.

PFAS chemicals (also known as “forever chemicals”) have also been found in turf samples, possibly a residual from the extrusion process.
