As a landowner, the effects of contaminated groundwater or surface water can be severe. Whether the property is being used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes, or for mining, livestock, or agriculture, pollutants in the water can be harmful to the environment, plants, animals or people that come into contact with it. Infections, illnesses and diseases can easily be transmitted through contaminated water sources.

Soil contamination is a serious problem. Whether it’s on a residential, commercial or industrial property, it happens when man-made chemicals come into contact with previously clean soil. These contaminants can do damage to the land, the environment and any people, animals or plants that come in contact. Groundwater (and ultimately drinking water) can also be negatively impacted by contaminated soil.
