We have been using First Call Environmental to perform emergency spill response services for our clients for over 10 years. Their ability to respond quickly and appropriately is an extremely valuable asset for us. They are professional in the work that they perform and keep us updated on all the response activities they perform. If there is ever an issue associated with their billing, they are always willing to work with us to achieve a satisfactory resolution. In short, their line of communication and their client focus is excellent, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them for many years to come.
The team showed up within a couple hours of me calling the 1-800 line. They kept in constant contact with me on their whereabouts, which was very nice because we had to stay after our shifts ended to ensure proper cleanup was completed. The team was well prepared and very knowledgeable about the waste cleanup. They communicated each step with me and my operations manager. Very professional and efficient. We appreciate your help and will definitely be using First Call Environmental if a situation ever arises again.
When we discovered a chemical spill in our science lab, I am glad I made my first call to First Call Environmental, LLC. From first contact to final update, First Call was top notch quality service. The First Call team out of Augusta, GA responded quickly, worked with all agencies on scene, helped orchestrate the process, and provided a safe cleanup of the situation. Tyrell Morris and his team on scene were professional, organized, and kept everyone apprised of the process. They were able to remediate the issue with minimal disruption to daily schedules for inhabitants of the building. When getting ready to transport the waste and cleanup, Darryl Roberts and Tyrell were informative and expedient. Mike Way was extremely helpful with the processes we needed with our Procurement department and all coordinating paperwork. We could not have done this without the entire team at First Call Environmental, LLC. Thank you to everyone from VA to GA.
First Call Environmental has been more than a spill cleanup vendor for Rapid Response Management. They have been a partner. They previously partnered with us to perform a complicated hurricane cleanup in the US Virgin Islands. The client was impressed with the cleanup and said they couldn’t have asked for anything more.
First Call Environmental has performed over 200 cleanups for us. They have always worked with us to ensure that the client was satisfied with the results. First Call Environmental is an important part of our national network and are a Preferred Vendor.
I highly recommend First Call Environmental and hope to continue to work with them for many years.
We had a water quality inspection at our Greensboro plant. Unfortunately, we had a few issues that needed to be corrected immediately. I called the First Call Environmental 800 number, and a representative named Patrick immediately got me in touch with Mike Way. Mike was attentive listening to me explain our problem. He got all my information and asked if he could call me back after he contacted their Greensboro location. In a very short time Mike called me back and said that there was a technician and crew on the way to our plant. The technician arrived at our location assessed the situation and immediately went into action. They placed some boom to contain our water runoff and produced a plan of further action. This being the first time I have worked with First Call I was very impressed with the entire crew’s professionalism and speedy response.
Thanks to everyone involved!
First Call Environmental is a company that truly embodies the mission and values that they set forth. From their dedication to beating industry standards with their response times to their drive to being a service-driven organization, First Call makes a commitment and then follows through. After many years of partnership, Enthalpy Analytical can confidently state that First Call Environmental is made up of a team dedicated to their core values.
I used First Call Environmental in December 2023. We had a large delivery of totes containing food grade oil to our company and the driver pulled up with a leak. Needless to say, the ‘leak’ was like a waterfall coming off the back of the truck. We rejected the shipment and ultimately ended up calling First Call Environmental. They were on site within 2 hours and assessed the situation. The job took over 19 hours to clean up and dispose of the rejected shipment. However, First Call Environmental stayed the entire time, working through the night. They are a group of dedicated employees, and I would use them again for all of my clean ups.
I recently used First Call Environmental to address a situation with a trailer of batteries that had several pallets compromised. From the moment the interaction started until the final invoice was sent, the experience was excellent. They did exactly what they said they would do and communicated every step of the way. They provided a quote that was right in line with the final invoice. They interacted with our customer directly and made sure they were satisfied before they left the site. They completed the work timely and precisely when they said they would and provided great detail and pictures of the completed work. I will certainly be using this service for any future hazmat clean up needs. Thanks,
The crew was on site before the time expected, called me, and sent initial pictures. They let me know when they were done and sent me pictures, including the waste and BOL. Everything was done professionally, starting with Wade. The crew did an excellent job. This is the reason, you are my first call (literally the name of you company!) when I have a job and see that you have coverage in that area. Thank you!
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional job that First Call Environmental did in response to a spill incident on 11/22/23. Their prompt and efficient cleanup efforts exceeded our expectations.
First Call Environmental demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise throughout the entire cleanup process. Their team worked diligently to mitigate the impact of the spill, ensuring minimal disruption to the customer’s operations and the surrounding environment.
Not only did they handle the cleanup with utmost care and precision, but they also maintained open lines of communication, providing regular updates on the progress, and addressing any concerns promptly. Their communication to safety and adherence to industry regulations were evident in every aspect of their work.
Thanks to First Call Environmental’ s swift response and thorough cleanup, the customer was able to resume their operations without any further delays. Their dedication to excellence and their commitment to environmental stewardship make them a valuable partner in our business.
I highly recommend First Call Environmental for any environmental cleanup needs. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality are truly commendable. We are grateful for their outstanding service and the peace of mind they provided during this challenging time.
