A prospective buyer will typically conduct an initial phase ESA to avoid the cost of cleaning the property after it is theirs, while the seller could utilize the information to boost the selling value to sell the house.
In contrast to the Phase II evaluation, which relies on analytical and sample data to evaluate the degree of contamination, this Phase I ESA is an assessment that is based on different types of data to determine whether further investigation is needed.
