Dealing With Leaking or Abandoned Chemicals in Reliez Valley, CA

With vacancy at about 4% of homes in Contra Costa County, chemical problems are usually found quickly by residents or neighbors. Reliez Valley is fairly dry, at about 18 inches of precipitation a year, so a chemical spill on soil may linger in place until it is removed.
The work often covers:
- Removal of leaking, damaged and unlabeled containers from garages, sheds and units
- Containment of leaks and spills so they do not reach drains, soil or other rooms
- Cleanup of spills that follow a flood, fire or move-out and leave contents unknown
- Labeling of containers and records of what was removed and where it was hauled
- Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
