Most other companies opt for inferior, chinese made, HEPA vacuums, we use German made Festool HEPA vacuums, which are considered to be the industry best, and are used at leading hospitals and laboratories around the world. The reason we are willing to pay a premium for these vacuums and accessories is that we feel you can not put a price tag on the safety of our clients, or our technicians.
All of our competitors outfit their technicians with half face respirators, which is within the regulations, but it is the bare minimum required for safety. We choose to outfit all our technicians with 3M PAPR (powered air purifying respirator) respirators, as these are the safest option for filtering lead particles out of the air. Though the initial investment may be significantly more ($1,800 vs $30) we feel the safety of our technicians is well worth it.
