Personal Safety:
Always ensure the safety of yourself and others first and foremost. While perhaps not immediately obvious, oil spillages can have an adverse affect on human health. Problems can include skin and eye irritation, neurological and even breathing problems.
Take Action:
If you have a spill kit, try to contain the spill. If possible, cordoned off the area to prevent unnecessary exposure and risk. Depending on the circumstances of the spill, and the type of oil involved, an oil spill can fast become a major fire hazard and a slip hazard.
Inform Other Bodies:
Contact your insurance company to advise them of the spill and record any losses or damage caused. If the oil enters into any water, contact your local water board to notify them; if any oil enters a water source, it could result in contamination to drinking water.

*Please remember that Ideal Response is not a replacement for the Emergency Services and should only be contacted secondary to them.

With our rapid response time of 2 hours, we will be onsite as quickly as possible to contain and clean an oil spill. Whether on soil, sand, water, concrete or paving, quick action will significantly reduce the impact an oil spill has on the surrounding environment.

Using industry leading methods and technology, we are able to remove oil from pavements, yards, depots, buildings, soil, sand, turf, airport aprons, public highways and more.

Our Lubetech technology is effective on spills including gasoline, diesel and hydraulic oil. And, as licensed waste carriers, we can assure the compliant disposal of any harmful residue and waste.

How does an oil spill damage the environment?
There are three types of oils, Light, Heavy, Crude. Light oils are more flammable and toxic to plant and animal life while heavy oils are less toxic but harder to clean. Crude oil has a wide range of effects on wildlife and the environment.

Resulting in extensive damage to natural ecosystems and wildlife.

How toxic or harmful is an oil spill?
Wildlife can be affected just by inhaling, ingesting or just coming into contact with the spill. This can disable their basic survival functions, as well as destroying their habitats. It's most devastating when spilled in bodies of water.

Will any traces of oil be left after the oil spill remediation process?
We use biological degreasers that break down the contents of the oil spill organically and simply lift and digest emulsions from contaminated surfaces, leaving the surfaces spotless. These methods are superior to traditional cleaning chemicals used by some companies in the process of an oil spill clean-up.

After inspection and analysis of the oil spill and its effects, we use laboratory testing procedures before, during and after to evidence the effectiveness of our remediation process. If the oil spill is on sand or soil we will use natural microbes to digest the hydrocarbon molecules and turn them into harmless, water soluble elements and water.

This process will leave the area completely free of all traces of oil.
