What Lexington Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup

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.

Can a landlord order chemical cleanup after a move-out?

Yes. Many calls come from managers who find drums, jugs or unlabeled containers in a vacated unit. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records.

Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?

You can reach Lexington Biohazard Cleanup Help 24/7, including nights and weekends. A leak does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.

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.

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.

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.
