Due Diligence

Hydro Tech understands that due diligence is an integral part of every real estate transaction. Our staff has over 25 years of experience in conducting environmental site assessments across the United States, having successfully completed over 7,000 Phase I and Phase II ESAs throughout the country. Given our extensive experience and work across the country we are your "local" environmental firm from Long Beach, N.Y. to Long Beach, Calif., and are uniquely positioned in the industry to provide concise, timely, and cost-effective Phase I Environmental Site Assessments with a national reach for single properties in excess of 100 property portfolios. Our reports are specifically tailored to meet the needs of our clients, exceed the ASTM E1527-05/AAI Standard, and include not only our findings and conclusions, but also recommendations and cost estimates on how to address any identified conditions. Reports can be completed in your desired timeframe, even 24 hour turn around time is possible.

All Phase I and Phase II work is managed from our corporate offices in Commack, N.Y., and all reports are generated from that same location. We have found this to be of great benefit to our clients who receive the same general Phase I/Phase II report format with the same exact scope regardless of the location of their property or properties. In addition, for larger portfolios, we can also utilize an on-line reporting system that can be accessed in real-time by our clients (if so desired), so they can see the status of the portfolio as a whole, or a specific property or properties of interest.

Hydro Tech is currently working with several banks within the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area. Please contact us today to see if we are on your bank approved list.

Additionally, Hydro Tech maintains its own fleet of geophysical survey equipment, drill rigs and Geoprobes(r). This enables Hydro Tech to complete your Phase II ESAs in a cost efficient timely manner since we do subcontract drilling or investigatory services.

Air Quality Control

Mold, asbestos, and lead are hazardous materials and can pose a threat to your health, and to the integrity of your site. If such materials are present, the air quality specialists at Hydro Tech Environmental can properly ascertain the dangers they may pose, and design remedial action plans to dispose of them.

 

Hazardous Materials

Determining the existence and location of hazardous materials can be complicated. Engineers begin with a conceptual design plan based on existing data and on-site investigations. The conceptual design plan defines both the problem and the process required to govern remediation. Our staff translates this information into technically and economically feasible solutions coupled with professional recommendations. In addition, Hydro Tech is comprised of trained and experienced specialists in the fields of:

• Hazardous Waste Management
• Geology
• Geochemistry
