What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
How much does hazmat cleanup cost?
The hazmat cleanup cost depends on the material, the amount, the spread and the disposal fees. Published ranges vary widely. The local team gives a real price after it sees the site or hears the details. Ask what is included and what could change.
How do I choose a hazmat cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is managed and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your site.
