Toxic Waste Cleanup Crews Serving Beechview and Allegheny County

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.

With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, Allegheny County can see stored chemicals shift or leak after high water. About 15% of homes in Pittsburgh are vacant, and empty properties can hold abandoned containers that nobody has checked.

  • Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
  • Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading

What Beechview Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup

What if a spill reaches 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 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.

Can chemicals be left in a garage or shed?

Old or leaking products are a risk. Heat, humidity and age can damage containers, and fumes can build up. If containers are leaking, damaged or unlabeled, have a cleanup team remove them.

Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?

Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.

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.

What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?

Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.
