Soil Sampling and Collection Services

At Specialized Onsite Services Inc., soil sampling is a critical step in assessing environmental contamination. This process involves collecting environmental samples directly from a site for analysis at an accredited soil testing laboratory in Ontario. Each sample is carefully documented with a chain-of-custody form, which records details such as the location and depth from which the sample was taken.

If soil contamination is suspected or identified, a thorough site assessment is conducted to determine the extent of the issue. Environmental drilling is often used, where small boreholes are drilled into the ground at pre-determined depths to collect soil samples. For shallow contaminated areas, construction equipment may be used instead. The type of contamination—whether it’s hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or hazardous chemicals—will dictate what tests are performed at the accredited soil testing laboratory in Ontario.

If the assessment reveals contamination, soil remediation options will be recommended based on the severity of the contamination and regulatory guidelines.

Verification and Confirmatory Sampling

During any remediation project, confirmatory or verification sampling is essential. These soil sample tests provide evidence that the contaminated site has been cleaned to the required environmental standards. The results of these tests help determine whether the cleanup is complete or if further remediation is necessary.

It is crucial to maintain strict protocols during soil sampling to avoid cross-contamination. Workers must wear disposable protective gloves for each sampling activity. A fresh pair of gloves should be used for every sample collected to ensure the integrity of the results. Samples are placed in lab-supplied, labeled bottles for transport to the testing facility.

The Benefits of Soil Sampling and Collection Services

Soil sampling and collection provide numerous benefits, ensuring the safety, compliance, and long-term health of your property and the surrounding environment:

  • Early Detection of Contamination: Soil sampling identifies potential contaminants before they cause further damage. Early detection allows for immediate action, reducing the risk of contamination spreading to surrounding areas or affecting nearby water sources.
  • Protection of Property Value: Contaminated soil can significantly reduce property value and complicate real estate transactions. Conducting soil sampling and, if necessary, remediation helps protect your investment, ensuring your property retains or increases its market value.
  • Health and Safety: Contaminated soil can pose health risks to residents, workers, and the public. Soil sampling ensures the land is safe, allowing for remediation to prevent any potential harm.
  • Support for Project Development: For developers and builders, soil sampling ensures the land is suitable for construction. It helps avoid unexpected delays or additional costs caused by undiscovered contamination, allowing projects to proceed as planned.
  • Environmental Responsibility: By conducting soil sampling and addressing any contamination, you help protect the environment. Responsible management of contaminated land safeguards ecosystems and promotes environmental sustainability.
  • Clear Documentation and Reporting: Soil sampling provides verifiable data on the condition of the land. This can be invaluable for property transactions, project planning, and ensuring regulatory compliance, giving all stakeholders a clear understanding of the site’s status.

When we found a large area mold in our attic and basement, we reached to SOS. During the work, they had found more hidden mold and means more work than expected. They returned our home next day and got this resolved properly and thoroughly. We are so satisfied and feel grateful to have SOS team to deal with it. We will strongly recommend SOS if someone encounter the similar situation and need professional help.
