Investigate the concern. Inform the decision.

Not necessarily. It means a concern needs a closer look. A former tank, historical property use, or evidence of a possible release may warrant testing. A Phase II collects samples to help determine whether contamination is present in the areas being investigated.

We review the concern and prepare a targeted sampling plan. Depending on the property, fieldwork may involve soil borings, groundwater sampling, test pits, or other testing. Samples go to a laboratory, and we explain the findings in a report with recommended next steps.

The equipment and access needed depend on the investigation. Some work uses a compact drilling rig; other scopes may call for test pits or access inside a building. Before mobilizing, we coordinate work areas, utility locating, site access, and surface restoration expectations with the property contact.

There is no single package that fits every site. The number and depth of sampling locations, equipment access, laboratory analyses, and reporting needs all affect the fee. Send us your Phase I report and property details for a written scope and proposal. Additional investigation, if recommended, is discussed separately.

Scheduling fieldwork, completing laboratory analysis, and preparing the report are separate steps. Send your closing or due diligence deadline at the start so we can discuss a realistic schedule and whether expedited laboratory service is available. We confirm timing for your scope before starting; additional findings can require more time.

No. The next step depends on what was detected, where it was found, and the applicable requirements. Further sampling may be needed to understand the affected area before a cleanup scope can be defined. We explain what the results establish, what remains uncertain, and what work is recommended.

Yes. The report gives you and your advisers information to consider when evaluating the transaction, planning construction, or requesting further investigation. Testing is limited to the agreed scope and sampled areas; it is not a guarantee about every part of the property. We can discuss the findings with your lender, attorney, or project team.

Yes. Send the complete Phase I report, any previous sampling results, the property address, and your deadline. We review the identified concerns and can propose a targeted investigation. We also confirm property-owner access and any lender or consultant requirements before scheduling fieldwork.
