Phase I ESAs

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
Be confident about your real estate purchase. Avoid unexpected costs and liability with an Environmental Site Assessment.

When buying a commercial property, unseen environmental hazards can quickly turn your investment sour. Contamination by petroleum and other chemicals can devalue your property, open you up to liability for expensive damages and cleanup costs, and affect your ability to conduct business. An environmental site assessment lowers your risk by making sure there are no unpleasant surprises hidden in the land, water, or soil.

For legal and financial protection, the best time to get an environmental site assessment is before you purchase a property.

When performed before a real estate sale, an ESA can provide protection from liability for future environmental cleanup costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund). You may also need an ESA if legally required or in order to qualify for certain loans.

Phoenix can assist with a variety of Business Environmental Risk (BER) activities including:
