Environmental
Jansen | Kiener has lead many investigations into environmental claims. Some of these include lead paint, groundwater contamination, oil and gasoline spills, soot and smoke damage as well as mold/mildew/bacterial growth. Groundwater contamination Groundwater contamination cases are complex in that there are a number of potential contamination sources. If your insured is targeted as a responsible party in a groundwater contamination claim, you will require the assistance of seasoned professionals who are familiar with local geology and the movement of contaminates through subsurface. Remediation technologies vary widely in effectiveness, completion time and cost. Jansen | Kiener can help you make an educated choice to get your site remediated in the most cost effective manner, eliminating further contamination and liability.

Jansen | Kiener has assembled a team of professionals which include environmental engineers, soils engineers and geologists. Your Insured has a spill...
