Unlike biohazard work, which deals with blood and other germs, chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances such as solvents, acids and pesticides. Some jobs involve both, and the crew plans for each.

About 12% of homes in Suffolk County are vacant, and empty properties can hold abandoned containers that nobody has checked. Hauppauge receives about 46 inches of rain a year, and rain can wash spilled chemicals into yards, ditches and drains.

The work often covers:

  • Containment of leaks and spills so they do not reach drains, soil or other rooms
  • Cleaning of concrete, tile, shelving and equipment with products suited to the substance
  • Advice on records that insurers, buyers, lenders and inspectors often ask for
  • Hauling of waste to a facility that can legally accept it
  • Sorting and packing of waste by type so incompatible products never meet

The Chemical Cleanup Process in Hauppauge, Step by Step

1. Safety first

Everyone leaves the area, and 911 is called if anyone is in danger. Crews check air and surroundings before entering.

2. Gear up and isolate

Gloves, eye protection, respirators and chemical-resistant suits go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.

3. Clean up and treat

The spill is absorbed, contaminated items are removed and surfaces are cleaned. Odors and residue are treated according to the substance.

4. Pack, label, haul

Different products are kept apart so that they cannot react. Waste is labeled and moved by the rules that apply to its type.
