Phase 2 ESAs for Markham properties are handled here through on-site drilling, soil and groundwater sampling, and laboratory confirmation of what's actually present. Our Vaughan head office is about 9 km from Markham, which keeps site visits simple rather than a line item on the invoice.

Full detail on the process and what's in the report is on the Phase 2 ESA page.

A Phase 2 usually follows a Phase 1 — see our Phase 1 ESA page for Markham if that step hasn't happened yet.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Markham

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Markham?

Usually three to six weeks, driven by drilling access, laboratory turnaround and how many locations need sampling.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Markham?

Cost is driven by the number of sample locations, lab work required, and site access, priced to a defined scope before work begins.

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?

In most cases yes, since a Phase 2 confirms a Phase 1's findings — though a known issue, such as a documented spill, can justify going straight to Phase 2.
