Local inspection, national standards
We perform Phase I ESAs throughout Illinois, including Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Springfield and Peoria.

You get local knowledge and the consistency lenders expect from a national firm.
What we look for in Illinois
Midwest assessments often trace legacy manufacturing, rail corridors, grain and agricultural chemical storage, and former gas stations. Historic Sanborn maps are especially useful in older industrial cities to show what stood on a lot decades ago.
Illinois redevelopment often uses the Site Remediation Program, which can lead to a No Further Remediation letter. We review Illinois EPA and State Fire Marshal tank records.
Records review covers federal databases plus files from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA), along with local building, fire and health department records where available.
Who we work with in Illinois
Investors and developers buying their next property, SBA and commercial lenders financing Illinois real estate, brokers who need a reliable referral, and national operators adding locations in the state.
