Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of Enservco Corporation (formerly Aspen Exploration Corporation), Heat Waves Hot Oil Service, LLC (“Heat Waves”), Dillco Fluid Service, Inc. (“Dillco”), HE Services LLC (“HES”), and Real GC LLC (“Real GC”) (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	The below table provides an overview of the Company’s current ownership hierarchy:
		State of	Ownership	Business
	Name	Formation
	Dillco Fluid Service, Inc.	Kansas	100% by Enservco	Oil and natural gas field fluid logistic services.
	Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC	Colorado	100% by Enservco	Oil and natural gas well services, including logistics and stimulation.
	HE Services, LLC	Nevada	100% by Heat Waves	No active business operations.  Owns construction equipment used by Heat Waves.
	Real GC, LLC	Colorado	100% by Heat Waves	No active business operations.  Owns real property in Garden City, Kansas that is utilized by Heat Waves.
	On May 29, 2013, three of the Company’s former subsidiaries, being Trinidad Housing, LLC, Aspen Gold Mining Company, and Heat Waves, LLC, were dissolved and Enservco Frac Services, LLC is being dissolved by operation of law. None of these dissolved subsidiaries was engaged in active business operations prior to dissolution.  As part of a corporate reorganization in May 2013, Dillco transferred its ownership in Heat Waves to Enservco through a tax free exchange.
	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), although modified in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.    The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of a full year or of future years.
	These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended for the year ended December 31, 2012.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
	During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made the decision to discontinue its Heat Waves’ well-site construction and roustabout line of service.  As part of this decision, the Company had the intent and made plans during 2012 to sell off the trucks and equipment used in this line of service.  The Company classified these fixed assets as Fixed assets held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company sold a majority of its assets held for sale and at June 30, 2013, decided to redeploy the remaining assets held for sale back into operations.  Accordingly there are no Fixed assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013.  The Company has disclosed all other major classifications of assets and liabilities associated with these discontinued operations, other than the Fixed assets held for sale, within the notes to the financial statements; see Note 3 for further details.  The Company has also delineated all results of operations as continuing operations or discontinued operations, from the well-site construction and roustabout line of service, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  As such, the operating results of this line of service are reported as Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented; see Note 3 for further details. The Company has not separately disclosed cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations within the accompanying statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests.
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers.  The Company provides a reserve for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions.  The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses.  The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis.  The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $230,000 and $185,000, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $0 and $170,397, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 31, 2012, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $10,624 and $8,885, respectively.
	Inventory
	Inventory consists primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals used in the servicing of oil wells and is carried at the lower of cost or market in accordance with the first in, first out method.  The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
	Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered.  The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.  No impairments were recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) trucks that are in various stages of fabrication; (3) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4) other equipment such as tools used for maintaining and repairing vehicles, office furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment.  Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life or expand the capacity of the assets.  Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.
	In April 2012, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives of its trucks and equipment (including its well servicing units and equipment, fluid services equipment, construction equipment, and other vehicles) as well as the estimated useful lives of its disposal wells. Through this assessment, the Company increased the useful lives of its trucks and equipment from 5-7 years to 10 years, and increased the useful lives of its disposal wells from 7-10 years to 15 years. The Company has determined that this adjustment to its useful lives is a change in accounting estimate and has accounted for the change prospectively; i.e. the accounting change impacts interim reporting periods within fiscal year 2012 and future periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the change in accounting estimate decreased depreciation expense for the period by approximately $860,000 (pre-tax difference), increasing Income (Loss) from Operations and Net Income (Loss) by this amount, or by approximately $0.04 per basic and diluted common share.
	Leases
	The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. Normally, the Company records rental expense on its operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable. If rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company records a deferred rent expense and recognizes the rental expense on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. The majority of the Company’s facility leases contain renewal clauses and expire through November 2016. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.
	The Company is leasing a number of trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which are recorded as operating leases.  The Company records rental expense on its equipment operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable; there are no rent escalation terms associated with these equipment leases. On a number of the equipment leases, purchase options exist allowing the Company to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, based on the market price of the equipment at the time of the lease termination and exercised purchase option.  The majority of the Company’s equipment leases contain renewal clauses and expire through June 2017.
	The Company has also entered into capital leases in order to acquire trucks and equipment. Each of these leases allow the Company to retain title of the equipment leased through the lease agreements upon final payment of all principal and interest due. The Company records the assets and liabilities associated with these leases at the present value of the minimum lease payments per the lease agreement. The assets are classified as property and equipment and the liabilities are classified as current and long-term liabilities based on the contractual terms of the agreements and their associated maturities.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured.
	Earnings Per Share
	Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options.
	As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 8,671,964 and 2,585,000 shares of Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. Due to the presentation of discontinued operations (see Note 3) throughout this report, in accordance with accounting guidance, the Company presented earnings (loss) per common share from continuing and discontinued operations within its financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the incremental shares of the options and warrants to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share had a dilutive impact on the Company’s earnings per share of  3,572,096 shares.  Dilution is not permitted if there are net losses during the period. As such, the Company does not show dilutive earnings per share for all other earnings (loss) per common share data presented within its financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
	Intangible Assets
	Non-Competition Agreements.  The non-competition agreements with the sellers of Heat Waves and Dillco have finite lives and were being amortized over a five-year period.  All non-competition agreements are fully amortized as of September 30, 2013. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $30,000 and $135,000, respectively.
	Goodwill.  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Heat Waves.  Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment at least annually.
	Impairment.  The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. Guidance allows a qualitative assessment of impairment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired.  If it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment exists, accounting guidance requires that the impairment test be performed through the application of a two-step fair value test.  The Company utilizes this method and recognizes a goodwill impairment loss in the event that the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value.  During fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company performed the annual impairment test and determined that no impairment existed.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not note any events that occurred, nor did any circumstances change, that would require goodwill to be assessed for impairment.
	Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs
	In the normal course of business, the Company enters into loan agreements with its primary lending institutions. The majority of these lending agreements require origination fees and other fees in the course of executing the agreements. For all costs associated with the execution of the lending agreements, the Company recognizes these as capitalized costs and amortizes these costs over the term of the loan agreement using the effective interest method. These deferred costs are classified on the balance sheet as current or long-term assets based on the contractual terms of the loan agreements. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements are expensed as incurred.
	Income Taxes
	The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred income taxes are classified as a net current or non-current asset or liability based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.  A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.
	The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.  The application of income tax law is inherently complex.  Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous.  As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures.  Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.  The result of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses.  No interest or penalties have been assessed as of September 30, 2013.  The Company files tax returns in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The tax years 2009 through 2012 remain open to examination in the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
	Fair Value
	The Company follows authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis.  The Company also applies the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including non-competition agreements and goodwill.  The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
	Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The Company did not change its valuation techniques nor were there any transfers between hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
	Level 1:        Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	Level 2:        Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
	Level 3:        Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
	Stock-based Compensation
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, and directors.  The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant.  Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
	The Company also uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants.  Expected volatility is based upon the weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none.
	Management Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Note 6 – Income Taxes
	Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period.  The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pre-tax income primarily because of state income taxes and estimated permanent differences.
	The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year.  The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

	In conjunction with a $2.0 million Private Equity Transaction in November 2012, the Company granted a one-half share warrant for every full share of common stock acquired by the equity investors.  As such, the Company granted warrants to purchase 2,849,714 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at $0.55 per share for a five year term. Each of the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and have a price-reset provision if under certain circumstances the Company issues shares of its common stock (or common stock equivalents) at less than $0.35 per share on or before October 31, 2014.  The warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of the warrants and an obligation to file a registration statement for the shares underlying those warrants before a specific date, and to obtain effectiveness thereof by September 25, 2013 (the “Registration Right”).  The Company filed a registration statement for these shares which was declared effective June 21, 2013.  If the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement, it may be subject to a penalty in cash or shares equal to 1.0% per month (prorated for any partial months), for the period(s) of time that the Company fails to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement underlying these shares. Liquidated Damages shall not exceed 8% of the original purchase price of such shares. The Company has not recorded an obligation for liquidated damages as the possibility of failing to maintain effectiveness is remote.
	On November 2, 2012, pursuant to conditions within the PNC Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Security Agreement, Mr. Michael D. Herman (the Company’s Chairman and CEO) converted his $1,477,760 outstanding subordinated debt into 4,222,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Similar to the provisions of the Private Equity Transaction above, Mr. Herman was granted warrants to purchase 2,111,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in conjunction with the stock subscription agreements, as granted on the same date thereof (i.e. exercisable at $0.55 per share for a five year term, piggy-back registration rights, price-reset provisions, etc).
	The Company issued warrants to investor relations consultants in lieu of cash fees.  These warrants typically vest based on performance criteria and have terms ranging from four to five years.  Each of the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.  The warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of the warrants.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation (through operating expense as general and administrative expense) of $60,056 attributable to warrants issued in November 2012.

	Possible Reverse Stock Split
	At the Company’s annual shareholder meeting held on July 25, 2013, the shareholders of the Company adopted a proposal giving the board of directors discretion to implement a reverse stock split in a ratio between one-for-two (1:2) up to one-for-three (1:3), or anywhere in between, while maintaining or reducing the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock at any proportion which the Board of Directors may deem appropriate in its discretion. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s board of directors had not exercised its discretion to implement a stock split.
	Stock Option Plans
	On July 27, 2010 the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may granted under the 2010 Plan is reset at the beginning of each year based on 15% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding.  As such, on January 1, 2013 the number of shares of common stock available under the 2010 Plan was reset to 4,773,794 shares based upon 31,825,294 shares outstanding on that date. Options are typically granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant with a vesting schedule of one to three years and a contractual term of 5 years.  As of September 30, 2013, there were 3,067,000 options outstanding under the 2010 Plan.
	The “2008 Equity Plan” was established by Aspen Exploration in February 2008 and was retained by the Company after the Acquisition. An aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares were reserved for issuance under the 2008 Equity Plan. On July 27, 2010, the Company terminated the 2008 Equity Plan, although such termination did not terminate or otherwise affect the contractual rights of persons who hold options to acquire common stock under the 2008 Equity Plan.  As of September 30, 2013, there were 350,000 options outstanding under the 2008 Plan.

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted options to acquire 608,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.81 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, options to acquire 28,332 shares of common stock were exercised by way of a cashless exercise whereby the option holder elected to receive 8,688 shares of common stock without payment of the exercise price and the remaining options for 19,644 shares were cancelled.  The options had an intrinsic value of $8,883 at the time of exercise.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted options to acquire 1,270,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.46 per share. No options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

	Exercisable at September 30, 2013	2,718,332	$	0.69		2.61		$	2,001,357
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2013, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on September 30, 2013.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for stock options of $385,944 and $248,459, respectively in general and administrative expenses.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for stock options of $117,224 and $59,198, respectively.  The Company currently expects all outstanding options to vest. Compensation cost is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of options vested is likely to differ from previous estimates.
	A summary of the status of non-vested shares underlying the options are presented below:
		Number of	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers.  The Company provides a reserve for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions.  The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses.  The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis.  The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $230,000 and $185,000, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $0 and $170,397, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 31, 2012, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $10,624 and $8,885, respectively.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventory
	Inventory consists primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals used in the servicing of oil wells and is carried at the lower of cost or market in accordance with the first in, first out method.  The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered.  The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.  No impairments were recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) trucks that are in various stages of fabrication; (3) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4) other equipment such as tools used for maintaining and repairing vehicles, office furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment.  Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life or expand the capacity of the assets.  Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.
	In April 2012, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives of its trucks and equipment (including its well servicing units and equipment, fluid services equipment, construction equipment, and other vehicles) as well as the estimated useful lives of its disposal wells. Through this assessment, the Company increased the useful lives of its trucks and equipment from 5-7 years to 10 years, and increased the useful lives of its disposal wells from 7-10 years to 15 years. The Company has determined that this adjustment to its useful lives is a change in accounting estimate and has accounted for the change prospectively; i.e. the accounting change impacts interim reporting periods within fiscal year 2012 and future periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the change in accounting estimate decreased depreciation expense for the period by approximately $860,000 (pre-tax difference), increasing Income (Loss) from Operations and Net Income (Loss) by this amount, or by approximately $0.04 per basic and diluted common share.
Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Leases
	The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. Normally, the Company records rental expense on its operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable. If rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company records a deferred rent expense and recognizes the rental expense on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. The majority of the Company’s facility leases contain renewal clauses and expire through November 2016. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.
	The Company is leasing a number of trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which are recorded as operating leases.  The Company records rental expense on its equipment operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable; there are no rent escalation terms associated with these equipment leases. On a number of the equipment leases, purchase options exist allowing the Company to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, based on the market price of the equipment at the time of the lease termination and exercised purchase option.  The majority of the Company’s equipment leases contain renewal clauses and expire through June 2017.
	The Company has also entered into capital leases in order to acquire trucks and equipment. Each of these leases allow the Company to retain title of the equipment leased through the lease agreements upon final payment of all principal and interest due. The Company records the assets and liabilities associated with these leases at the present value of the minimum lease payments per the lease agreement. The assets are classified as property and equipment and the liabilities are classified as current and long-term liabilities based on the contractual terms of the agreements and their associated maturities.
Revenue Recognition, Sales of Services [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings Per Share
	Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options.
	As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 8,671,964 and 2,585,000 shares of Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. Due to the presentation of discontinued operations (see Note 3) throughout this report, in accordance with accounting guidance, the Company presented earnings (loss) per common share from continuing and discontinued operations within its financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the incremental shares of the options and warrants to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share had a dilutive impact on the Company’s earnings per share of  3,572,096 shares.  Dilution is not permitted if there are net losses during the period. As such, the Company does not show dilutive earnings per share for all other earnings (loss) per common share data presented within its financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Intangible Assets
	Non-Competition Agreements.  The non-competition agreements with the sellers of Heat Waves and Dillco have finite lives and were being amortized over a five-year period.  All non-competition agreements are fully amortized as of September 30, 2013. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $30,000 and $135,000, respectively.
	Goodwill.  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Heat Waves.  Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment at least annually.
	Impairment.  The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. Guidance allows a qualitative assessment of impairment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired.  If it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment exists, accounting guidance requires that the impairment test be performed through the application of a two-step fair value test.  The Company utilizes this method and recognizes a goodwill impairment loss in the event that the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value.  During fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company performed the annual impairment test and determined that no impairment existed.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not note any events that occurred, nor did any circumstances change, that would require goodwill to be assessed for impairment.
Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs [Policy Text Block]	'
	Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs
	In the normal course of business, the Company enters into loan agreements with its primary lending institutions. The majority of these lending agreements require origination fees and other fees in the course of executing the agreements. For all costs associated with the execution of the lending agreements, the Company recognizes these as capitalized costs and amortizes these costs over the term of the loan agreement using the effective interest method. These deferred costs are classified on the balance sheet as current or long-term assets based on the contractual terms of the loan agreements. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements are expensed as incurred.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred income taxes are classified as a net current or non-current asset or liability based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.  A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.
	The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.  The application of income tax law is inherently complex.  Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous.  As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures.  Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.  The result of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses.  No interest or penalties have been assessed as of September 30, 2013.  The Company files tax returns in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The tax years 2009 through 2012 remain open to examination in the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value
	The Company follows authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis.  The Company also applies the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including non-competition agreements and goodwill.  The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
	Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The Company did not change its valuation techniques nor were there any transfers between hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
	Level 1:        Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	Level 2:        Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
	Level 3:        Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-based Compensation
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, and directors.  The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant.  Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
	The Company also uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants.  Expected volatility is based upon the weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Management Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
