Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
Before purchasing commercial, industrial, or vacant land, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into. At ECT, we specialize in Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) to help identify potential contamination or environmental concerns before you commit. A Phase I ESA can uncover issues that could lead to major expenses later—giving you the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. Our team is certified, transparent, and dedicated to protecting your investment. Whether the site is clean or comes with risks, we’ll make sure you know before you buy.
Comprehensive Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)
ECT provides trusted Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) across all 120 counties in Kentucky, helping buyers, lenders, and developers uncover potential environmental liabilities before finalizing a property transaction. Conducted by certified professionals, our assessments combine historical research, site inspections, interviews, and database reviews to evaluate current and past environmental risks.
Our process includes detailed evaluations for mold, mildew, indoor air quality concerns, hazardous substances, and potential asbestos-containing materials. We inspect for microbial growth and moisture issues, perform air quality testing for pollutants and allergens, and identify any signs of chemical spills, underground storage tanks, or improper waste handling. When older buildings are involved, we assess the risk of asbestos and recommend lab testing if needed.
ECT’s reports are clear, legally defensible, and include actionable recommendations. With fast response times, deep industry experience, and a commitment to thorough, science-based environmental consulting, we help protect your investment and ensure you move forward with confidence.
Site Assessment of the land includes:


Mold and Mildew Inspection
The site is examined for visible mold and moisture issues that could compromise air quality and structural integrity.


Indoor Air Quality Evaluation
We assess various air quality parameters including VOCs, humidity, and other factors that affect occupant health and comfort.


Hazardous Substance Investigation
We identify evidence of hazardous material use, storage, or disposal that could impact the site’s safety.


Asbestos-Containing Material Identification
We locate and document any suspected asbestos materials that may pose health hazards or require special handling.

Know Before You Buy – Protect Your Investment with an ESA
Planning to invest in commercial, industrial, or vacant land? It’s crucial to identify any environmental risks before finalizing your purchase. At ECT, we specialize in Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and environmental remediation to help you avoid unexpected costs and liabilities.
Our Phase I ESA thoroughly investigates a property’s history, current condition, and potential environmental hazards, including hazardous materials, underground storage tanks, and previous industrial activities. If further testing is needed, we recommend Phase II assessments involving soil, water, and air sampling to confirm contamination. These assessments are vital for protecting your investment and ensuring informed, confident decisions.
We also evaluate non-scope concerns like:
-
Mold
-
Asbestos-containing materials
-
Lead-based paint
-
Radon, vapor intrusion, and mercury risks
-
Earthquake, flood, and debris flow hazards
Just like you’d hire a home inspector when buying a house, a professional ESA is a must for any commercial or industrial property purchase.
We’re honest, qualified, and here to ensure you're fully informed. Contact ECT today and get a clear view of what lies beneath the surface.
