Fewer homes in Lexington sit empty, so chemical calls tend to come from occupied properties with leaking garage or shed containers. Wet weather in Pasadena, about 50 inches of precipitation a year, speeds the rusting of old drums and the spread of leaked product.

- Cleanup of solvents, paints, fuels, pesticides and pool or farm chemicals
- Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading
- Safe collection of broken lamps, thermometers and other items that contain mercury
- Cleanup of spills that follow a flood, fire or move-out and leave contents unknown

What Pasadena Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup
How do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?
Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
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.
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.
How much does chemical waste cleanup cost?
It depends on the substance, the amount, the spread and the disposal fees. Published ranges vary widely. The local team gives a real price after it sees the site or hears the details. Ask what is included and what could change.
How are chemicals disposed of?
Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
What if I found containers I cannot identify?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
