Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does saltwater damage soil?
Saltwater leaves behind high levels of salt that can make it hard for plants and grass to take in water and nutrients. Over time, this can kill vegetation and harm the long-term health of the soil.

2. Can my yard or property recover after saltwater flooding?
Yes, with the right treatments, your soil can be restored. Testing and remediation help remove excess salt and bring nutrients back so the ground can support healthy growth again.

3. How long does the remediation process take?
It depends on the extent of the damage, but most properties start showing signs of recovery within a few weeks to a few months after treatment.

4. Do I need professional testing, or can I just wait it out?
Salt levels don’t always go down on their own. Professional testing shows exactly how much salt is present and what needs to be done to fix it—saving you time, money, and guesswork.

5. What treatments do you use to fix salt-damaged soil?
We use a combination of soil flushing, leaching, erosion control, and soil amendments to reduce salt levels and restore fertility. Each plan is customized to the property.

6. Is the process safe for pets, kids, and the environment?
Yes. Our methods use natural materials and safe practices designed to restore the soil without harming people, pets, or surrounding ecosystems.

7. How soon should I get my soil checked after a hurricane?
The sooner the better. Early testing helps identify problems before they spread and ensures faster recovery.
