Can a cleanup team help before a property sale or inspection?
Yes. Buyers, lenders and inspectors may ask that chemical waste be removed and documented. The crew removes the waste, cleans the area and supplies a summary of what was done.
Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?
You can reach Homestead Biohazard Cleanup Help 24/7, including nights and weekends. A leak does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.
Does a chemical spill have to be reported?
Reporting rules depend on the substance, the amount and where it spilled. The local fire department, the health department or an attorney can say what applies. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.
What do cleanup teams use on a chemical spill?
It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.
What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
