Always Leary about fraud these days. Anyone heard of EnviroDetics (EDI)? Just emailed me about doing a ESA Phase 1 property survey…
Nope, can’t say I have Peter.
What’s exactly is involved with a phase 1 environmental property survey?
Looking for contaminated properties. Usually commercial, industrial, institutional. Mostly investigative work looking into the history (Past owners and uses, Business licenses issued, interview neighbours & others) of a property. May include a bit of surface soil sampling. This is to determine if the history warrants a phase 2 with soil sampling drill rigs, back hoes to get more indepth info and samples. The phase 2 will determine if major soil removal and site decontamination is necessary.
Thank you.
Sounds involved.
Whats the rate.
I took some pics for a WV based environmental co and got $250
Not involved that much,… take interior and exterior elevation pictures, interview the owner with a short questionnaire they sent me and I’m done. I’ve always turned down the “draw” inspection calls/ jobs because of the cheap fees,… this is the first Co. to agree to a reasonable “professional” fee for my service. I figured if I’m going to block out time I would normally have to do a home inspection I should be compensated respectfully,… I asked for my normal inspection fee of $400.00 and they agreed. Motto: Ask and you shall receive… Maybe a sign of happier days for those who do “draw” inspections on a regular basis… ASK for what your worth.

I’ve done many jobs for this company. You take several pictures of the property inside and out. You have the owner fill out a survey.
Pays average $250.00 but some as high as $500.00 .
They pay a little late but usally within 45 days.

Looks like I was cheap.
Still beats a typical draw inspection though.
Do they have a link to sign up?
Gary, here is the lady who contacted me,… seems they use “find an inspector” for areas they have a job in. This is my first experience with them but they may have a list of inspectors they like to use. Cathy can probably steer you in the right direction. Good luck.
