Environmental Site Assessments-Phase I & II

Phase I ESA
The liability and risk of owning/financing an environmentally impaired site or building can be greatly reduced with a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment by an experienced, environmental professional.

An environmental professional leads a team to provide you with an in-depth analysis and report that identifies your environmental risk and liability, before you purchase a site.
