• Not sealing gaps around doors
• Allowing easy bypass routes
• Not treating hallways and pathways
• Heat treatments are not penetrating effectively under the baseboards
Every apartment must be fully sealed. No gaps. No drafts. No escape paths. Silica Dust = The Long-Term Trap (This goes hand in hand with our Quiet Door Program which maximizes efficiency)
