Why Emergency Spill Response Matters
Unplanned & High-Risk Situations
Spills are unpredictable by nature. Whether it’s a ruptured drum, equipment failure, or transportation accident, these incidents happen quickly and without warning. They can pose immediate threats to worker safety, facility operations, and nearby ecosystems.
PROS Services understands the urgency of unplanned events. Our rapid response capabilities are designed to contain and neutralize hazards before they escalate. With trained professionals and the right equipment on standby, we act fast to minimize risks, protect your people, and restore normalcy to your site.
Protects Your Business & Reputation
A spill doesn’t just impact your facility—it can create ripple effects that damage your brand and business. Environmental contamination, OSHA or EPA violations, and negative media attention can lead to:
Costly regulatory fines
Lawsuits or third-party claims
Damage to community trust
By responding quickly and professionally, PROS Services helps you avoid these outcomes. Our meticulous cleanup and documentation processes demonstrate a commitment to safety and compliance, reinforcing your reputation as a responsible operator.
Requires Expert Handling
Effective spill response isn’t just about showing up quickly—it’s about doing the job right. That means using the correct absorbents, containment methods, disposal processes, and PPE based on the material type.
Our team is trained in hazardous and non-hazardous material handling, OSHA regulations, DOT spill protocols, and chemical-specific responses. We’re also equipped with state-of-the-art tools and remediation technology to ensure thorough cleanup.

How PROS Services Helps
1. Rapid Emergency Response – 24/7/365
We know that spill incidents don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why our emergency response team is on call around the clock. From evenings to weekends and holidays, we’re ready to deploy instantly.
When you call, you get a real person—not a voicemail or answering service. Our local teams are strategically positioned throughout Michigan to ensure rapid mobilization, particularly in high-density industrial hubs like Detroit, Flint, and Warren.
2. On-Site Containment & Control
Upon arrival, our technicians assess the spill site and immediately deploy containment barriers, absorbent pads, or diking systems to stop the spread. This is especially critical in environments near:
Storm drains or waterways
Employee foot traffic or production lines
Sensitive inventory or flammable materials
We take extra care to prevent secondary contamination or additional hazards during containment.
3. Safe Cleanup & Disposal
After containment, our team executes a detailed cleanup plan. Depending on the type of material and location, this may involve:
Vacuum trucks for liquid recovery
Solidification or neutralization of hazardous substances
Soil excavation and removal
Surface decontamination
Packaging and manifesting for regulated transport
All recovered materials are disposed of in accordance with EPA, DOT, and Michigan EGLE regulations. We handle all documentation and coordinate with licensed treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to ensure a compliant chain of custody.
4. Full Documentation & Regulatory Support
Every spill response includes complete documentation for your records, including:
Incident reports
Photographic evidence
Cleanup procedures
Waste manifests
Compliance checklists
This helps you satisfy any post-incident regulatory inquiries and supports your internal EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) policies.
