Biohazard Cleanup Project in Westerly, RI
10/21/22
When heating oil spilled in the basement of a Westerly RI home, it created more than just a biohazard concern—the leaking oil created an odor and a sticky mess.
To solve the problem, owners Ryan Mason and Phil Mason quickly responded with our ozone machine to create negative air and remove powerful malodors before they could spread throughout the home. After the Oil Co. cleaned-up the surface oil spill, we began removing the oil-laden materials, such as the siding, door and door casing, and wall frame. Ryan and Phil used a surfactant to break down the home heating oil, muriatic acid to etch surfaces, and steam-cleaned the affected concrete, as well as treated field stone and concrete foundation walls. As a final step, Ryan and Phil applied multiple coats of a sealer on surfaces to trap any remaining odors.
Our team worked diligently to ensure the biohazard concerns were resolved so the homeowner could enjoy a clean and odor-free home.
