Environmental due diligence
Vapors from contaminated soil or groundwater can migrate into buildings and potentially affect indoor air quality and human health.
Vapor intrusion is now considered during Phase I ESAs. Chemical vapors may enter through cracked foundations, basements, sewer lines, or floor slabs, depending on the source compounds.
Fuel service stations and dry cleaners can present migrating VOC vapors after spills affect subsurface soil and groundwater. Potential vapor intrusion can remain even after remediation and regulatory site closure, when soil and groundwater standards are no longer exceeded.
Integra Environmental consultants perform vapor intrusion assessments and due diligence activities to identify potential sources and determine whether vapor intrusion standards are met.
Our team performs soil, groundwater, soil gas, and indoor air assessments to determine whether further evaluation, remediation, or mitigation is necessary.
We recently performed soil vapor assessments at a dry cleaner and a chrome plating facility, designing Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD) systems to create negative pressure beneath the concrete slabs. By extracting vapors outdoors, the SSD systems eliminate vapor migration into working areas.
