What hazmat cleanup covers:
- Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
- Summaries and photos for insurers, lenders, buyers and inspectors
- Containment of fuel, oil, solvent and chemical spills so they do not reach drains or soil
- Sorting and repacking of damaged, leaking and unlabeled containers by hazard type
- Cleanup after a vehicle accident, tank failure or equipment leak at a business or farm
