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.

I wanted to reach out to the team at First Call Environmental to express my deepest gratitude for your help with our tanker accident in Zion Crossroads, VA. When these things happen it is so stressful and trying to get vendor partners to the scene is a very important key to showing the state authorities and regulators that we are on top of the situation. Furthermore, the work that the First Call team did after the incident and the clean up as well as working with DOT and DEQ, was top notch.
I am so glad we have First Call as our environmental partner in our service areas.
In the future, we know you are just a phone call away. If you are ever in need of any help, MPE is here for you as well.
