Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Guelph

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Guelph?

It generally runs three to six weeks, mostly a function of drilling access and lab turnaround time.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Guelph?

The number of boreholes, the lab analysis needed and site access all factor into cost. We quote a fixed price for a defined scope before we start.

Which standard applies?

Transactions and due diligence typically use CSA Z769; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition or permit is involved.

Does a Phase 2 always follow a Phase 1?

Usually, yes — a Phase 2 exists to confirm what a Phase 1 flags, but it can stand alone if a specific concern, like a known spill, is already documented.
