Removing old tile frequently exposes another problem: hardened thinset or mortar bonded to the subfloor.
Dusthogs provides professional thinset removal throughout Northwest Arkansas, using specialized grinding and dust-control equipment to remove residual material and help prepare concrete for the next flooring system.

Residual thinset from old flooring can prevent new thinset from properly bonding to the concrete, compromising the adhesion and long-term durability of your new tile floor.
Our professional removal system eliminates the time-consuming process and the dust of trying to chip or grind hardened mortar away using basic tools.

Grinding cement-based material can generate significant fine dust that has silica, a lung cancer causing chemical. Dusthogs uses vacuums with HEPA filters designed to capture that dust while grinding rather than allowing it to spread throughout the property.
Our grinders can also address minor high spots in concrete as part of creating a flatter surface for subsequent flooring work.
