Phase II/Soil Borings
From our customers:
"Gabriel's staff is well trained, highly motivated and their lab facilities are quite impressive rivaling that of larger companies and even the MWRDGC themselves. I had on numerous occasions been approached by other companies to do our sampling at a cost savings but I have always found that service and reliability are not measured in dollars alone. I would highly recommend Gabriel Labs to anyone.
PS: John Polich throws the best customer appreciation functions of any vendor that I have used these past 20 years.""

When soil contamination is suspected, a subsurface investigation is the first step in evaluating whether the property requires cleanup.
A Phase II Investigation generally consists of soil borings, laboratory analysis and data assessment. After the level and extent of contamination are established, the owner, buyer or lender (or occasionally the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency) decides if formal closure is necessary or desirable for the property.
