Lead Management Services

In order to address lead-based paint and its adverse effects on our nation's housing, the Housing and Community Development Act was signed into law on October 28, 1992. Title X of this bill, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, provided a comprehensive approach to deal with the problem. The new standards proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency apply specifically to the rule's mention of lead-based paint activity. In the detection of lead-based paint, and the management of its alleviation, we adhere strictly to the highest possible standards.

Site Auditing: Environmental Phase I Assessment of Property

The primary purpose of a Phase I Assessment, also known as an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), is to evaluate the potential presence of contamination on real property. This non-intrusive research is conducted to evaluate the potential for significant on-site impacts. Typically, these assessments are performed prior to the acquisition of property and to satisfy any due-diligence requirements. This phase does not involve the collection of any samples; it is, in essence, a "background" search of the property.
