Fortunately I had no contamination but saved about $10,000 in the end.

When I buy/sell Commercial properties (Retail) in Florida, 99% of the time, I have to do an Environmental Phase 1 report to ensure there aren't any contamination liabilities with the land. 

So even elements that don’t appear damaged can be contaminated.

Stress to prospects that they must be there at their timeslot, wearing a mask, to avoid COVID contamination issue with other prospects.4) After a day of showings, clean property and change lockbox code for next set of showings.5) Once you approve someone, get a Holding Fee from them!

I’ve bought houses with Vermiculite insulation and the presumption is that there is a 90% chance of it being contaminated with asbestos as they were mined so close to each other.  

This includes things such as water contamination, termite damage, sewerage.

So even elements that don’t appear damaged can be contaminated.

Further, although there are laws against public nuisance, they often are not applied when a company buys the land next door and starts contaminating the land and water.

They call me later that the soil was contaminated and were talking about remediation and that they already reported it to DEC.

@Deniz Eker Well water might taste better than city water, but minerals and contamination could affect your health.
