      Common Environmental Hazards in New England

      Commercial Property Development

      Historical Land Use Contamination
      Many New England sites have been used for manufacturing, storage, or other industrial purposes over the last century. These activities can leave behind hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, or petroleum products that linger in the soil and groundwater.

      Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
      Old heating oil or fuel tanks are common in older commercial properties. Leaks from these tanks can go undetected for years, causing significant soil and water contamination.

      Asbestos and Lead Paint
      Many buildings constructed before the 1980s contain asbestos insulation or lead-based paint. Both pose serious health risks and can be costly to remediate.

      Mold and Moisture Issues
      New England’s climate can contribute to hidden mold growth, especially in basements or poorly ventilated spaces. Mold not only affects indoor air quality but can also signal deeper water intrusion problems.

      Brownfield Sites
      Properties previously used for industrial or commercial purposes may be classified as brownfields. Redeveloping these sites often requires extensive testing and cleanup to meet state and federal standards.

      We specialize in environmental due diligence for commercial real estate in New England. Our team provides thorough ESAs, risk assessments, and remediation guidance to ensure your investment is safe, compliant, and future-ready.
