Hazmat Cleaning Company Serving Portales and Roosevelt County
Hazmat clean up is not the same as biohazard cleanup. Hazmat deals with chemicals, fuels and gases, while biohazard work deals with blood and germs. Some sites involve both, and crews plan for each.
If fuel, solvent or a chemical release has soaked into pavement, soil or a building in Portales, you can get it cleared with care. Call Portales Biohazard Cleanup Help for a tidy site and a clear plan for how waste is hauled in Roosevelt County.
Portales is fairly dry, at about 16 inches of precipitation a year, so a spill on soil can linger in place until it is removed. FEMA lists river flood risk in Roosevelt County as Relatively Moderate, which is a reminder to store fuel, solvents and chemicals off the floor and away from drains.
The work often covers:
- Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
- Containment of fuel, oil, solvent and chemical spills so they do not reach drains or soil
- Sorting and repacking of damaged, leaking and unlabeled containers by hazard type
- Identification of unknown materials using labels, placards and safety data sheets
- Cleaning of pavement, concrete, tile and metal surfaces after a hazardous release

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.

What if a fuel or oil leak happens at my business?
