We had an accidental spill on one of our construction sites and had to shut down until it got cleaned up. We began to call around to find someone to do the clean up for us. Everyone else we called said it would be at least 2 weeks but EEI responded immediately and got it all cleaned up and our crews back to work. Thanks A Lot Guys.
