Beyond breathing life into your walls, we also attempt to take the poison out of your garden soil, all in a bid to make the environment safe for you and your family. The challenge of widespread soil contamination in New York is a huge one. Public and private researchers alike have published numerous reports that reveal that the soil in most areas contains unsafe amounts of heavy metals, especially lead.
Planting, harvesting, and consuming the proceeds from a contaminated garden could put you and your family at risk of lead poisoning. The health effects could range from lowered IQ to behavioral problems, and in extreme cases cause permanent brain damage. Children are especially at risk and health experts agree that no amount of lead is safe in children.
With us, it’s personal
We got into soil remediation when the owner, Gennaro Brooks-Church, had his daughter’s blood tested and she came back with high levels of lead. He then tested his back yard soil and it came back with very high levels of lead. He looked around for a trustworthy company to remove the contaminated soil but could not find one. So he did it himself.
Thus Gennaro started down the path of soil remediation. Over ten years later and his daughter is lead-free and he has helped many families clear their gardens of contaminated soil. Because of this story, we take every soil remediation job very personally. We know what it’s like to worry about your family’s health and we have the experience and solution to fix it
