Land Contamination

There’s a moment that hits hard—when you realise the ground under your feet might not be safe. Maybe it’s an old industrial site with a history nobody talks about. Maybe it’s fuel seeping into the soil near a farm shed. Or maybe it’s a simple patch of land you’re planning to build on, but something doesn’t feel right. We’ve been there with folks across Ireland, and believe me—it’s not something you should ignore.

At Spilltech Environmental Ltd., we don’t just deal in tests and reports. We deal in real land contamination solutions, real people, and real messes. We’re here to help you figure out what’s wrong and fix it properly, without the stress and without making things more complicated than they need to be.

What Does Land Contamination Really Mean?

Land contamination sounds like a big phrase, but it’s often the result of simple, everyday things: a leaking oil tank, an old dump site, runoff from machines or chemicals. The kind of stuff that can go unnoticed for years until someone wants to sell, build, or grow, and suddenly there’s a problem.

We’ve seen contamination caused by:

• Long-forgotten oil spills
• Industrial waste buried in back corners
• Petrol or diesel leaks at storage yards
• Heavy metals left behind by manufacturing work

Left untreated, these things don’t just stay in the soil—they move. They find their way into the water, kill off plant life, harm wildlife, and sometimes even threaten human health. That’s why getting proper land contamination solutions is so important.

How Spilltech Handles It – Straight Talk and Solid Work

Here’s how we do things. First, we don’t show up trying to sell you the moon. We come out, we listen, and we get a proper sense of the land. We do testing—not just for the sake of it—but to understand what’s really going on under the surface.

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we offer land contamination solutions customised to meet the right set of needs. Not a cookie-cutter solution, but one that fits your land like a glove. We’ll walk you through it in plain English—no buzzwords, no nonsense.

We’ve cleaned up everything from old brownfield sites to active farms, using techniques like:

• Bioremediation – letting microbes do the heavy lifting, naturally breaking down toxins
• Heavy metal removal – especially important near old industrial zones
• Oil and fuel spill treatment – cutting off contamination at the source and fixing the damage

We also make sure that nothing’s left to chance when it comes to groundwater, because if that gets contaminated, the problem gets bigger real fast.
