Faster Response Time
Our response times are among the lowest in the industry, significantly shorter than the industry standard of two hours. First Call focuses on beating all industry standards. In fact, this is a part of what we call the “First Call Difference”. A fast response time in conjunction with an accurate assessment and fast and effective containment allow us to limit our customer’s liability and save them money.

Our employees receive initial and ongoing training that meet and exceed all Federal standards under 29FCR1910.120. Our capabilities range from small releases to high hazard incidents. First Call provides training to our employees in the following areas:

Lower Total Cost
The sooner a spill is contained, the less liability and total cost your company could potentially face. First Call responds with in house personnel immediately to assess and contain the situation and begin the remediation/restoration process as soon as possible. With consistent communication and through the use of leading edge technology, our customers remain informed and involved in the project from start to finish allowing our performance to be in line with our customer’s budget.

Honestly, this whole experience was made so much more bearable once we switched over to your company. From the first hour of being on site we were let down by the previous environmental contractor and the moment we decided to have First Call Environmental take over we had no questions on what was going on and no doubts that everything was being taken care of professionally and within a timely manner. I did not have to update the insurance company, and the communication was excellent. Please thank your team for us. We will have your number saved should this ever happen again.
