Complete Cleanup Following Vehicle Accidents
An accident scene may involve more than a damaged vehicle. Broken glass, vehicle parts, spilled cargo, diesel fuel and automotive fluids can create hazards for motorists, emergency responders and the surrounding environment.
Goch & Sons Towing can coordinate vehicle recovery, towing and cleanup through one experienced team. Our crew evaluates the materials involved and deploys the appropriate equipment to contain spills, recover fluids and remove debris from the roadway or property.
Accident-Scene Cleanup May Include:
- Broken glass and vehicle debris removal
- Fuel and automotive fluid containment
- Fuel recovery and transfer
- Absorbent application and collection
- Spilled cargo recovery
- Roadway sweeping and power washing
- Damaged vehicle and equipment removal
- Collection and containment of affected materials
- Coordination with emergency and transportation agencies
Cleanup for Passenger Vehicle Accidents
Even a passenger vehicle accident can release gasoline, motor oil, coolant, transmission fluid and other automotive liquids. Broken glass, bumpers and damaged vehicle components may also be scattered across the roadway.
Our team provides cleanup support for accidents involving cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles. When towing or recovery is also needed, we can remove the damaged vehicle and clean the affected area as part of the same coordinated response.
Commercial Truck Accident Cleanup
Accidents involving semi Unity trucks, tractor-trailers, buses and other commercial vehicles can create extensive cleanup needs. Large fuel tanks, transported cargo and the size of the damaged equipment may require additional personnel and specialized resources.
We Provide Cleanup Following Accidents Involving:
- Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers
- Straight trucks and box trucks
- Tankers
- Dump trucks
- Buses and motor coaches
- Delivery and fleet vehicles
- Utility and municipal vehicles
- Construction and industrial equipment
Fuel and Fluid Spill Response
Fuel and automotive fluids can spread quickly across pavement, shoulders, soil and drainage areas. Prompt containment helps limit the affected area and supports a safer accident-scene response.
Goch & Sons Towing maintains fuel-recovery units, catch pools, overpack drums, absorbent pads, booms and more than 10,000 pounds of floor-dry for emergency deployment. Our technicians identify the spill area, establish containment and recover or absorb released materials according to site conditions.
Spill Response May Address:
- Gasoline and diesel fuel
- Engine and hydraulic oil
- Coolant and antifreeze
- Transmission and brake fluid
- Other vehicle-related liquids
- Leaking drums and containers
- Fluids released from damaged equipment
Hazardous Material Cleanup and Emergency Spill Response
Some vehicle accidents involve transported materials that require a specialized response. Our MIOSHA-certified HazMat technicians are prepared to assist with hazardous material containment, recovery and cleanup based on the substance involved and the directions of the responsible authorities.
Overpack drums, catch pools, absorbent booms and other containment resources can be deployed to control leaking containers and help prevent materials from spreading.
Roadway Sweeping and Washing
Fine debris, absorbent material and small vehicle fragments may remain after damaged vehicles and larger debris have been removed. Goch & Sons Towing has roadway sweeping and washing equipment to support a more complete cleanup.
Our resources include a sweeper, power brooms and power washers for removing remaining debris and residue when conditions permit. Roll-off dumpsters can also be deployed to collect damaged cargo, vehicle components and cleanup materials.
Cargo Spill Cleanup and Recovery
A commercial vehicle accident may scatter packaged goods, bulk materials, machinery or other cargo across the roadway and surrounding property. The load may need to be collected, contained or transferred before the scene can be cleared.
Cargo Cleanup May Include:
- Recovering scattered freight
- Separating damaged and recoverable cargo
- Collecting loose or bulk materials
- Removing cargo from damaged trailers
- Transferring freight to replacement trailers
- Providing roll-off dumpsters for debris
- Using forklifts or loaders when required
- Preparing recoverable cargo for continued transport
Vehicle Recovery, Towing and Cleanup From One Team
Complex accidents may require several services at the same scene. A vehicle may need to be stabilized, uprighted or winched before it can be removed, while spilled fluids and debris must be contained throughout the operation.
Our heavy-recovery fleet includes rotators, heavy wreckers, winches and air cushion systems. Coordinating recovery, towing, cargo handling and cleanup through one team helps streamline the response and reduce delays.
Working With Police, Fire and Transportation Agencies
Accident cleanup frequently takes place within an active emergency response involving law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and transportation agencies. Our team coordinates with the authorized personnel managing the scene before beginning vehicle removal or cleanup.
We also work with insurance companies, motor clubs, fleet managers, trucking companies and cargo representatives to coordinate towing, recovery and cleanup services.
