A chemical hazard is a substance that can burn, poison, explode or damage health. Chemical cleanup removes that hazard from the place where people live or work, then decontaminates the area.

Older housing is common in Progress, around 80% built before 1980, so leftover chemicals turn up when homes are cleared out or sold. Progress receives about 45 inches of rain a year, and rain can wash spilled chemicals into yards, ditches and drains.

A typical chemical & toxic waste cleanup job includes:

  • Sorting and packing of waste by type so incompatible products never meet
  • Cleaning of concrete, tile, shelving and equipment with products suited to the substance
  • Hauling of waste to a facility that can legally accept it

The crew writes a plan covering the hazards, the gear and the route for waste. Questions from the owner are welcome at this stage.

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

Waste is hauled and the owner receives a list of what was removed. The team explains what to keep for insurers, buyers or inspectors.

Chemical and Toxic Waste Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Progress, PA

Is chemical waste the same as hazmat?

The terms overlap. Hazmat usually refers to the wider set of hazardous materials, and chemical and toxic waste describes leftover or spilled chemicals. Both call for careful handling. A local team can explain which term fits your situation.

Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?

Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood, body fluids and germs, while chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific chemical before hiring it.

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.

Do OSHA rules apply to chemical cleanup?

OSHA sets safety rules for workers who handle hazardous substances. Professional crews follow those rules and use gear matched to the hazard. Employers have their own duties, which safety staff or an attorney can explain.

Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?

Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.

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.
