Fuel Oil Spill in Basement-Need Help

This is their problem to deal with. I would be all over them to remedy this asap. If not, call insurance. You will need someone like Servpro to clean this up. They are not cheap!

If you need a contact at Servpro let me know. I am physically located in their building in Dover (different company, same real estate).

Cate, As others have said, do not try to address this problem on your own. They caused the problem, they are responsible to re mediate.

Call your insurance company for advice too. If your oil company doesn't have someone working on it within a day of the accident you don't want to wait. Your insurance may not cover all of it but you can still pursue the difference with the tech's company if needed.

Good luck!

you need to contact your local fire station also and notify them of the spill.
