Soil Vapor Assessment & Mitigation
Tracking chemical vapors migration from subsurface soil or groundwater contamination into buildings is a highly specialized area of investigation and remediation required by state regulatory agencies across the country.
Vapor investigation goes a step beyond Phase II ESAs by assessing vapors and associated risks. While vapor encroachment (presence or likely presence of volatile chemical vapors in the subsurface of a property) can be identified during a Phase I ESA, vapor intrusion is a distinctly separate investigation. Braun Intertec evaluates if volatile chemical vapors from contaminated soil or groundwater are migrating into nearby buildings.
Key Services
- Soil vapor sampling (property exterior locations)
- Sub-slab soil vapor sampling (existing building interiors)
- Groundwater sampling
- Soil sampling
- Indoor air sampling
- Radon sampling
We help real estate owners and developers mitigate risk from vapor intrusion to confirm compliance with national standards including ANSI/AARST, HUD, Freddie Mac, and other applicable state and local requirements. We mitigate existing buildings, integrate vapor intrusion mitigation measures in new building designs, and prepare mitigation plans and specifications.
