How to Minimise Dust & Noise Pollution While Concrete Cutting: A Guide for Homeowners (Part 2)

September 30, 2024

Organising a professional concrete cutting service but worried about dust and noise pollution in your neighbourhood?

In part 2 of this article we’ll focus on some essential tips for homeowners on reducing noise and dust while working with a concrete cutter.

Ways to Minimise Noise & Dust During Professional Concrete Cutting

Let’s continue to discuss some of the ways you as the homeowner can manage noise and dust pollution while we conduct your concrete cutting service.

Remove Unnecessary Outdoor Furniture

Before any concrete cutting work begins, it’s a good idea to remove or cover outdoor furniture, plants, or other items near the worksite. This helps prevent dust from settling on these surfaces and makes the clean-up process easier once the job is done.

Close Doors and Windows

To keep dust and noise from entering your home or office, make sure to close all doors and windows that face or are near the work area. This simple step will help contain airborne dust and reduce the amount of noise that makes its way inside.

Use Plastic Sheeting

If you’re unable to close doors or windows, plastic sheeting can be used as a barrier to prevent dust from entering indoor spaces. Tape it securely around door frames and windows to create an effective barrier against dust and help with noise reduction.

Monitor Airflow

To avoid the circulation of dust inside your home, it’s important to monitor the airflow. Close any interior doors leading to the worksite, and if necessary, consider using fans or air purifiers to maintain indoor air quality during the cutting process.

Subdue or Temporarily Remove Pets

Concrete cutting can be stressful for pets due to the noise and disruption. It’s best to keep pets indoors, away from the work area, or consider temporarily relocating them to a quieter part of the house or a friend’s home until the job is complete.

Plan Outdoor Activities

Sometimes the noise of us going about our work can drive people crazy. Don’t stay stuck inside if you don’t have to or we don’t need you to be on-site.

Where possible, arrange outdoor activities for you and your family members (as long as it’s not in the work area). This will also help those with allergies or high sensitivity to dust.
