Feb21048 Enviroleak provides domestic and commercial oil leak clean- up services, including 24-hour emergency spill response, remediation of contaminated sites, site excavations, air quality, VOC (volatile organic compounds) and soil sampling and analysis, oil tank replacements, and home heating oil spills. With rapid response times and a service that is tried and tested, Enviroleak deals with numerous leaks across Ireland each year, from domestic to commercial, backyards to construction sites. The team of engineers at Enviroleak have developed a practical, bespoke approach to provide speedy, effective solutions, which are complimented by their sterling levels of professional and knowledgeable customer service. A two-tiered response helps to mitigate the overall impact of any leak, with the team of experts ready to assist at the scene when needed; clients who call to report a leak will initially receive advice over the phone and, where deemed necessary, the fully trained solutions team will be sent to the spill location right away to assess the situation, advise on what to do next, and undertake an initial clean-up to reduce further impact. They will complete a full risk assessment of the oil leak area so that they can determine if the oil tank and contaminated soil can remain or if an excavation will need to take place. Unless the leak is minor, no individual should try to clean up the oil themselves, given the potential health risks and the specialist nature of remediation and waste disposal. The Enviroleak team will arrive fully prepared with specialist equipment designed to plug leaks, contain spills and, if required, completely de-fuel storage containers. The team may need to excavate the soil in the garden or replace the subsoil and foundations under the client’s home. The important focus is providing total solutions from start to finish, so Enviroleak will also liaise with the client’s insurance assessor and ensure that everything will be resolved and back to normal as efficiently as possible. Once the oil is removed, it will be disposed of via an approved and certified environmental waste facility. Additionally, Enviroleak provides a range of services encompassing environmental impact surveys to leak assessment and site reinstatement. It regularly works alongside insurers, loss adjusters and construction sites when it comes to site assessments following an oil leak. The company can also advise on whether the client needs to contact their local county council or the Environment Protection Agency, depending on the extent of the leakage and the impact it has had on them and the surrounding area, including nearby water sources and wildlife. Enviroleak is truly performing an essential service and good deeds to the planet and those who inhabit it. With oils being flammable and toxic to plants, animals and the environment, spills can result in extensive damage to natural ecosystems and wildlife, so it is vital that clean-up operations are actioned with a matter of urgency.
