Environmental Consulting for Real Estate
Our clients within the real estate community take advantage of our extensive experience in performing Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). At Georgia Oilmen’s Services (GOS), we are committed to excellence and quality in the performance of all our services and that means ensuring that both sellers and buyers have access to cost-effective, professional environmental consulting and remediation.
Whether you’re evaluating a new acquisition or preparing a property for sale, our team helps you make informed decisions backed by clear, defensible environmental data.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for Real Estate
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) is essential for evaluating potential environmental risks before purchasing or financing a property. GOS conducts site inspections, historical research, and records reviews to identify possible concerns that may involve oversight from agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or state environmental departments. Our reports are thorough, easy to understand, and designed to keep real estate transactions moving smoothly.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for Real Estate
When a Phase I ESA indicates a potential issue, a Phase II ESA provides the testing and data needed to evaluate whether environmental impacts are present. GOS collects soil, groundwater, and vapor samples to help determine whether conditions may require further action under EPA or state environmental agency guidance. We deliver precise, timely results that help clients make informed decisions about property risks and next steps.
Other Real Estate Industry Services
GOS supports real estate, commercial, industrial, and petroleum-related operations with a wide range of environmental services. From field sampling and due-diligence support to compliance assistance and system evaluations, our team works closely with clients to meet expectations set by federal and state environmental agencies.
Each service is delivered with accuracy, clarity, and a commitment to long-term environmental stewardship. We have the training and expertise to complete projects that include:
UST Removals
Underground storage tanks (UST) can present significant challenges during property transactions. GOS manages the entire UST removal process including permitting, excavation, sampling, and documentation while coordinating with the appropriate state environmental agency. Our certified professionals provide a safe and efficient removal process that reduces any potential liability for property owners and buyers.
Corrective Action Plans
If contamination is identified, GOS develops and implements Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) that align with expectations set by state environmental agencies and, when needed, the EPA. Our team provides practical and cost-effective strategies to address impacts and move properties toward closure with clear communication at every stage.
Environmental Remediation
GOS offers complete environmental remediation services for contaminated commercial, industrial, and real estate properties. Our cleanup strategies are tailored to meet the requirements of state environmental agencies and the EPA. We address soil, groundwater, and vapor impacts with a focus on efficient cleanup, transparent reporting, and restoring property value.
