        "text": "Drywall dust spreads easily through living areas, so preparation requires isolating the work zone and protecting mechanical systems. Seal off doorways and return vents using plastic sheeting and painters tape to keep dust from entering HVAC ductwork. Cover furniture and flooring completely with heavy drop cloths. Before your contractor begins, clear personal items from open shelving and nearby hallways. Because fine gypsum particles travel through small gaps, professional remodelers also set up containment barriers and utilize vacuum-assisted sanding tools to trap dust directly at the wall surface during residential renovations.",
