The crew looks at how far the spill spread and what it touched. It notes drains, soil, porous materials and anything that needs to be kept away from the area.
Stained concrete, soaked wood and contaminated fabric are cleaned or removed. The crew rinses and treats tools and surfaces according to the maker's data sheet.
Waste is packed and hauled to an approved facility. The owner receives a summary of what was removed, so there is a record for insurers or buyers.
