Free Oil Spill Survey
Why Choose Our Oil Spill Free Survey?
With almost thirty years experience in the investigation of oil spills, you are in expert hands. Gaea offers a free Oil Spill Survey so that customers don’t feel burdened by cost when time is of the essence.
Key Features of Our Oil Spill Free Survey
At Gaea Environmental, we pride ourselves on providing a fast and efficient service. We won’t take all day as that is wasteful. After requesting some background information, our scientists will begin scanning the property for services. The next stage involves drilling holes in the ground, around one meter in depth. The hole, the width of a pencil, is used to introduce a detector to measure volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). Home heating oils contain these compounds, helping us locate the oil.
Benefits of Conducting an Oil Spill Free Survey
- A Gaea free oil spill survey will allow you to know very quickly what needs to happen next.
- Any necessary emergency works can be recommended and undertaken to prevent the situation from worsening.
- In the event that your home is affected by hydrocarbon odours, Gaea can promptly install extraction systems to bring down the levels that your family is exposed to.
- An options appraisal can be undertaken to determine what is the best, most efficient, and cost-effective method of dealing with the oil spill.
Our Expertise in Oil Spill Prevention and Management
Gaea staff began managing oil spill investigations and cleanups in 1998. Since then, we have managed thousands of successful clean-up programs quickly and efficiently. We are highly regarded by insurance companies and regularly work with many of them.
How to Get Started with Our Oil Spill Free Survey
Once you make contact with Gaea, we can get you booked in with the next available scientist, normally on the same day. After the free oil spill survey is completed, our scientists will have a detailed discussion with you and relay their initial thoughts.
The scientist will then return to our base to write a detailed report of the incident. The report will include investigation information, background, geological settings, hydrology settings, and a risk assessment. Within the report, you will find Gaea’s detailed remedial recommendations, which are exactly what your insurers need to process the claim. We can also assist you in the claims process through our partners who specialize in claims management, reducing your stress.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Spill Surveys
How quickly can you get here?
If it is a proper emergency, we will come immediately. If the spill has already occurred and there is no emergency element to it, we will be with you within 24 hours.
How long will it take?
Once on-site, 2-3 hours is normally sufficient.
What happens next?
Gaea will compile a detailed report for you, which normally takes a day to finish. However, if we are busy, it might take a little longer.
Will my insurance cover the work?
Normally, yes. These days, there are very few instances of non-cover. However, without seeing your policy, we cannot be sure. We can have one of our partner companies review it for you to give you peace of mind.
How do I make a claim?
Locate your policy documents. These days, they are often in an email. The process of making a claim will be detailed in the information provided to you. Insurance wording can be very difficult to understand, and this part can be stressful.
