The first step to meeting real estate due diligence requirements is to schedule a phase 1 environmental site assessment. Our team of Illinois environmental consultants analyze your property for any signs of contamination or environmental hazards. If signs of contamination are present, your next step is a phase 2 environmental site assessment. The phase 2 ESA identifies the contamination's severity and source, and creates a plan for environmental remediation.

The Illinois environmental consultants at Hyde Environmental streamline projects from site assessments to remediation services, ensuring all work is completed thoroughly to fulfill due diligence.
Hyde Environmental’s consulting services are not exclusive to the Chicago area (Aurora, Cicero, Naperville, Joliet, Elgin, etc.), but we do have extensive experience in northeastern Illinois, based on our location. We regularly perform Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, site investigations and environmental remediation services in Illinois with movement towards closure at the forefront of each decision made.

Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments The first step property owners and buyers take in any transaction is scheduling this service. Have your property assessed by a Phase 1 ESA consultant to check for pollution, hazardous waste & other contaminants! 
Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments A Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment is scheduled when a known contaminant is present on the property you are selling or buying. Hire Hyde Environmental to remove your liability! 
Site Investigation This environmental service is used mainly to assist property owners with investigating the potential human health risks present on a property. Determine the risk of potential exposure pathways with Hyde Environmental! 
Environmental Remediation Take action with air sparging, groundwater extraction or soil remediation when contaminants are discovered on a property. Cleanup is just as essential as a diagnosis - make sure your property is restored to health before you buy or sell it! 
Groundwater Hydraulics Water held underground, saturating the soil or crevices and pores in rock, is known as groundwater. It can be the primary source of recharge to lakes, ponds and streams. Are you unintentionally transporting pollutants to nearby sites? 
Regulatory Compliance In Illinois, many different environmental regulations have been enacted by the government to prevent property owners from leaving land in an unhealthy condition. Hyde Environmental helps clients navigate legal, insurance & technical issues. 
Envrionmental Due Diligence Due diligence is performed when investigating industrial & commercial sites. This involves collecting existing data & information from public & private sources & sampling any potential contaminants on the property itself. 
Pesticides and Fertilizers Spill Cleanup The accidental excessive release of chemicals and compounds to the environment contaminates soil, water bodies & groundwater. We help manufacturing & distribution facilities handle pesticide & fertilizer contamination problems. 
Voluntary Environmental Assessments While many environmental services are enforced by state governments before property transactions, anyone is free to schedule an assessment through voluntary compliance programs available in select Midwestern states. 
Vapor Intrusion Assessments Volatile organic compounds pose a serious threat to inhabitants in industrial, commercial & residential properties, as many of the most dangerous contaminants cannot be detected without advanced testing equipment.
The standards of a Phase I ESA require that vapor intrusion must be assessed when completing site investigations. Testing for soil vapor intrusion may involve groundwater sampling, soil sampling, soil-gas sampling and/or indoor air sampling.
Soil vapor extraction ensures no chemicals have entered the soil or groundwater beneath industrial and commercial properties in Illinois. Testing for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a crucial component of environmental site assessment, inspection, and remediation.
In Illinois, some environmental laws and regulations fall under the authority of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Some issues may fall under the purview of federal law and the EPA.
