Our basement flooded in January and we had to replace the sheet rock. There was also an area of popcorn ceiling at the entry into the basement. *We hired some one to resheet rock and remove popcorn ceiling finish. *We had put some plastic up, but did not realize the devastation that the contractor would be doing to our whole home. *He did not warn us or put up any protection or suggest that we did. *He sanded the 3 foot by 5 foot popcorn ceiling and sent a plum of white dust through out the house through the duct work as well as blowing to the second floor. ( we thought that there would be a vacuum system on any major sanding that he did) We tried to get this terrible dust up by vacuuming to no satisfaction. *(the dust made our window screen WHITE). *We were very upset with the way the contractor did this. *We had no idea what was going to happen. *Then as he was getting ready to finish the walls he did it again *and it went all through the house again. * My question is does anyone know how we can get this terrible dust out of our home. *We have tried our vacuum cleaner and it just cakes up in the cleaner or blows out of the back. *This is making our family sick and is in everything *It has to be in the ducts as well as carpeting, furniture, clothing and bedding. *Can we rent something get it up? *We have tried washing the basement floor, but it does not seem to help. *We cannot put carpeting down until we get this all out of the house. *We are worried that we will have to take the rest of the carpeting in our home up because of the dust. We would appreciate any ideas on how we can get this dust out of our home. Thank you so very much. Betty Thats to small an area to make the stink you are making about it, have you ever tried a maid to really clean your house, try one once, it might take 2 times. Yes he should have been smarter, but so should have you, was he the cheapest price. |
