24/7 Emergency Response

When the spill happens, we’re already moving.

Environmental emergency response across Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and the surrounding region. Chemical spills, hazmat releases, train derailments, highway accidents — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Road and rail. Both.

Hi-rail-equipped trucks let our crews reach derailment sites and remote track locations other emergency response contractors can’t.

What we do

Three decades of 2 a.m. phone calls.

When environmental incidents happen, every minute matters. Quick Response has been the call companies make at 2 a.m. for more than 30 years. From a fuel spill on a remote rail line to a chemical release at an industrial plant, our crews mobilize fast — with the equipment, the certifications, and the field experience to handle whatever’s on the ground.

We’re a certified vendor for CSX and Norfolk Southern, FRA-trained, OSHA Hazwoper compliant, and Browz / ISN qualified. We carry $2 million in general liability. Most importantly: when you call our 24/7 line, a real human answers and a crew is moving within minutes.

Incidents

What we respond to.

Across thousands of jobs, we’ve seen most of what can go wrong. If it’s an environmental incident in our coverage area, we’ve probably handled one like it.

  • Chemical spills — acids, bases, solvents, process chemicals
  • Oil & fuel spills — diesel, gasoline, hydraulic, transformer oil
  • Train derailments — tank cars, hazmat consist, on-track recovery
  • Highway accidents — DOT-regulated cargo, fuel, hazmat
  • Hazmat releases — full PPE, atmospheric testing, containment
  • Biological response — sewage, bloodborne, contamination
  • Abandoned waste — illegal dumping, drum recovery, characterization
  • Environmental discharges — stormwater, process water, runoff
Response process

From your call to cleanup complete.

Stop the spread first. Booms, sorbents, vacuum recovery, atmospheric monitoring.

04
Clean & close

Full remediation, waste profiling, DOT-compliant transport, regulatory reporting.

On-site equipment

What our crews bring to the scene.

Most spill contractors mobilize from a single category — vacuum, pressure, or hazmat. Our trucks roll with the full kit:

  • Wet & dry vacuum trucks (industrial Vactor units)
  • Super Products Mud Dog hydro excavator
  • Containment booms, sorbents, drum recovery
  • Hi-rail equipped trucks for track sites
  • Hydroblasting up to 40,000 PSI
  • Atmospheric monitoring & gas detection
  • Confined space rescue capability
  • DOT-permitted waste transport, hazardous & non-hazardous
Why Quick Response

Not just another regional spill contractor.

What separates us from the dozens of environmental services companies in the Ohio Valley region:

What you get with Quick Response

  • 30+ years of incident experience across thousands of responses, not just industrial cleaning
  • CSX and Norfolk Southern certified vendor — most regional contractors aren’t approved for either
  • Hi-rail equipment on staff for derailment and remote-track sites
  • $2 million general liability — meets every major industrial customer’s insurance requirements
  • Browz and ISN qualified — pre-approved for thousands of corporate procurement systems
  • Centrally located in Greenup, KY — most of the tri-state within 90 minutes
Coverage

250-mile response radius.

From our Greenup, Kentucky base, our crews cover a region reaching Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville, and points between. Coverage extends across Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and into Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Tennessee. With road AND rail response capability, we can mobilize to almost any site in the region.

For incidents outside our standard radius, call us anyway — for major events we’ve responded across longer distances when the situation warrants it.

When it can’t wait

30+ years of 2 a.m. phone calls.

Yours can be the next one we handle right.
