Oil Spill Cleanup

What This Service Involves

A fresh oil spill spreads fast and, in our rainy climate, can wash toward storm drains before it is contained. Our crews apply absorbents and degreasers to pull petroleum out of the concrete pores. Hot-water extraction then lifts the loosened oil for proper collection rather than flushing it into the watershed. Prompt cleanup protects both your surface and the surrounding environment.
