Our Chemical Spill Cleanup Process

At Sun Environmental Corp., we offer a comprehensive cleanup and remediation process proven to protect the environment, your employees, and our staff. This process includes the following steps:

1. Immediate Response and On-Site Assessment

Once you contact our emergency line, we mobilize responders to your location. Once our team arrives, they assess the spill to identify the type of chemical, the quantity spilled, the affected area, and the potential risks. This fast evaluation helps us create a plan to mitigate exposure and minimize the risk of the spill spreading.

2. Containment and Hazard Isolation

Containing the spill is our next priority. We place barriers down to keep the chemicals contained and isolated. Then, we lay down absorbents to soak up the spill. Whether it involves chemicals, chlorine, dyes, mercury, or acids, we follow strict U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved protocols to secure the area swiftly and prevent the hazardous materials from spreading.

3. Chemical Cleanup and Material Removal

Using advanced cleanup techniques, such as vacuum trucks, we remove and neutralize chemical spills. Our team is trained to handle most types of chemicals and materials. We extract, treat, and prepare contaminated soil, surfaces, and pooled substances for safe off-site disposal.

4. Site Restoration and Decontamination

After removal, our professionals decontaminate surfaces and affected soil. We ensure the cleanup meets regulatory standards and restores your site to a safe, operational condition. Our rapid response minimizes downtime, helping you return to maximum productivity as quickly as possible.

5. Waste Classification and Transport

Collected waste is classified per state and federal regulations. Our team manages packaging, labeling, documentation, safe transport, and proper disposal. This streamlines the cleanup and ensures your site complies with environmental guidelines.

6. Final Documentation

Once the cleanup is complete, we conduct a final check and perform follow-up testing to confirm the chemicals have been removed. We also provide you with detailed documentation, including safety logs, material tracking, and reports, for your records for future compliance audits.
