Phase I Environmental Site Assessments in California
ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESAs with a local site visit anywhere in California, from Los Angeles to the smallest county. $2,450 flat, about 10-day delivery.
Local inspection, national standards
We perform Phase I ESAs throughout California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento and Fresno. A field professional who knows the area visits your property in person, and an Environmental Professional reviews the full record and signs the report. You get local knowledge and the consistency lenders expect from a national firm.
What we look for in California
Western sites bring their own history: former mining and smelting, rail yards, agricultural operations, and vapor intrusion concerns in growing metro areas. Arid conditions and deep groundwater change how a release behaves, and our reports account for that.
California reviews include the Cortese List, GeoTracker and EnviroStor records, which track leaking tanks and cleanup sites statewide. Vapor intrusion is a frequent topic in California lender reviews.
Records review covers federal databases plus files from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the Regional Water Quality Control Boards, along with local building, fire and health department records where available.
Who we work with in California
Investors and developers buying their next property, SBA and commercial lenders financing California real estate, brokers who need a reliable referral, and national operators adding locations in the state.
