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.

Lower Total Cost

I had an excellent experience with First Call Environmental during a hydraulic fuel spill from a sweeper truck that impacted a commercial property parking lot and extended several hundred feet down the roadway. Their team responded quickly, professionally, and handled the situation with a high level of expertise from start to finish.
A special thank you to Wade Williams for being extremely prompt, professional, and consistently following up throughout the entire process. Wade always made sure I had everything I needed and was incredibly responsive every step of the way.
I also want to recognize Noah Freeland for doing a fantastic job coordinating the cleanup efforts and ensuring the project was completed efficiently. He was highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the process, sent plenty of progress photos along the way, and made sure I fully understood what was happening and what to expect next.
The level of communication, professionalism, and attention to detail from First Call Environmental was outstanding. I truly appreciate the effort their team put into resolving a difficult situation quickly and effectively. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of environmental cleanup services.
