Whitby properties come to us for Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments through document review, a site walk and interviews — non-intrusive, with no sampling done. We work from our Vaughan head office, 39 km or so away, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.
The Phase 1 ESA page explains the process and the report in full.
A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Whitby.
