Pressure Washing A Hydraulic Spill From A Tow Truck
Tow Truck Hydraulic Spill Before Cleaning
Many trucks use hydraulic systems to get their job done: dump trucks, cement trucks, building material delivery trucks, trash trucks, tow trucks, car carriers, and cranes. But when a hydraulic line blows, it leaves a big oily mess.
Tow Truck Hydraulic Spill During Cleanup
When a hydraulic spill happens, you need to get it pressure washed as soon as possible. The less time the fluid has to soak into the surface, the better the results will be from the clean up. If any staining remains, it will fade more quickly because less fluid has soaked below the surface of the concrete or asphalt.
Pressure washing hydraulic spills or any kind of oil-based spill isn’t always cheap, but it still costs less than replacing a driveway. And the public relations damage of not taking care of it properly can cost you a lot more in the long run.
If you have a spill that needs cleaning, you need to hire a company that can recover the wash water the right way. If it goes down a storm drain, you and the wash contractor can face fines starting at $1000.00.
Tow Truck Hydraulic Spill After Cleanup
And doing water recovery right takes more than just saying you have a filter system. You have to have the drain blockers and dams to stop the water, a way to collect the water and filter it, a tank to hold it until you can dispose of it properly, and the correct permits and knowledge to know how to dispose of it. We have special recovery trailers we pull behind our wash trucks – and the experience that goes with having done hundreds of recovery jobs.
We stay current on state and federal regulations regarding pressure washing and we maintain best management practices on all our projects. With Wash On Wheels, you know you’re getting a professional, knowledgeable and experienced pressure washing company.
