Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Mercer Island, WA

Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
What is hazmat cleanup?
It is the safe handling, removal and disposal of hazardous materials after a spill, leak or release. Crews identify the material and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spread, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept it.
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.
