McGartland & Borchardt is a Fort Worth law firm that handles groundwater contamination cases.  We recognize that groundwater contamination can damage your health and property values, and welcome the opportunity to help you seek justice.

Groundwater contamination occurs when hazardous chemicals dissolve into underground water supplies.  This may happen when underground tanks at gas stations corrode, companies improperly dispose of hazardous chemicals or materials, or septic tanks or other sewage facilities leak waste products into the ground.  Groundwater can be contaminated by fuel and other petroleum products, household chemicals, pesticides, as well as industrial contaminants.

Groundwater contamination can cause very serious health problems. The presence of arsenic and other inorganic chemicals in groundwater can lead to cancer, heart and pulmonary disease, neurological disorders, and immunological diseases. Organic contaminants, such as parasites, viruses and bacteria, which originate from sewage, land fills, and animal waste, can be just as serious, causing infections and diseases including dysentery, hepatitis, salmonella, giardiasis, gastroenteritis, and other infections.

If groundwater contamination has sickened you or your family members, or have reduced the value of your real estate holdings, contact us for a free initial consultation.  McGartland & Borchardt serves the Dallas and Fort Worth communities and may be reached at 1-866-832-9300.
