The work often covers:
- 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
- Cleanup of solvents, paints, fuels, pesticides and pool or farm chemicals
- Containment of leaks and spills so they do not reach drains, soil or other rooms

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.
What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
