Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Phase I ESA cost?
For most commercial properties in Eastern Pennsylvania, a standard Phase I ESA ranges from $1,500–$3,500 depending on property size, complexity, and turnaround time required. We provide a firm quote before any work begins.
How long does an inspection take?
A Pre-Acquisition Survey can be completed in 2–5 business days. A full Phase I ESA typically takes 5–7 business days.
What is a 'recognized environmental condition' (REC)?
A REC is any situation on or near a property that indicates a release, suspected release, or material threat of release of petroleum or hazardous substances. Finding a REC doesn't kill your deal — it means you need more information before proceeding.
Do I need an inspection if the property looks fine?
Yes. Environmental contamination is invisible — you cannot see petroleum in soil, asbestos in building materials, or lead in paint without testing.
Can I use your report to negotiate the purchase price?
Absolutely. A detailed condition report identifying $80,000 in deferred maintenance gives you a documented basis for a price reduction or seller credit.
