A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) shows if there are possible environmental problems—like past spills, underground tanks, or old pollution—that could cost you money and headaches later.
An ESA is trusted by buyers, sellers, attorneys, and lenders to help close deals with confidence and it helps you stay safe and smart.
At Oak Environmental, we make the ESA process simple and clear.
Our team checks the history of the property, inspects the property, and looks for signs of risk, so you know what you're buying.
We provide fast, accurate ESAs for all types of commercial properties in New Jersey.
Before you buy a property, it’s smart to check what used to be there. An ESA looks for old gas stations, factories, or other businesses that may have left behind pollution in the soil, water, or air.
Even if everything looks clean, there could still be hidden risks. We help you find out what’s really under the surface—so you don’t get stuck with big problems later.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment helps you stay safe from surprise pollution problems. If the land has hidden risks, this report can protect you from paying for expensive cleanups (and attorneys) later.
Buyers and lenders often need an ESA to stay protected under the law (like CERCLA). It’s a smart way to protect your money — and your peace of mind.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment gives you clear answers about the land.
It helps you know what you’re getting into — so you can make a smart, safe decision before you buy or lend money on a property.

Our Environmental Professionals do a careful inspection of the property to observe current conditions and potential risks.

A commercial buyer was under contract to purchase a multifamily property. The lender required a Phase I ESA before closing.
