IAQ - Phase I Environmental Audits Services

The environmental audit results in a report prepared for the real estate owner or buyer.  It identifies potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities. The Phase I environmental audit meets the criteria specified by the American Society for Testing and Materials.  The analysis typically addresses both the underlying land as well as physical improvements to the property; however, techniques applied in a Phase I audit do not usually include actual collection of physical samples or chemical analyses.

IAQ`s Phase I environmental audit includes examination of potential soil contamination, groundwater quality, surface water quality and sometimes issues related to hazardous substances. The examination of a site may include: definition of any chemical residues within structures; identification of possible asbestos containing building materials; inventory of hazardous substances stored or used on site; assessment of mold and mildew; and evaluation of other environmental parameters.
