N.J. Home Buyers Beware ! That New Patio May Have A Leaking Oil Tank Hidden Below !

NEW JERSEY, N.J. - June 9, 2013 - PRLog -- New home buyers should be careful when purchasing property whether in New Jersey or any other state. Abandoned or improperly" filled in place" oil tanks can cost thousands of dollars to remediation. Some home buyers complete the ' Due Diligence" aspect of the transaction by having a " Tank Sweep " completed using a metal magnetometer. A metal magnetometer will just provide beeping sounds and does not provide a under ground picture of the structure. Ground Penetrating Radar will provide a structure outline or image to make determination. Home buyers should also be aware that although tank may have been removed and inspected by a municipality it still could have leaked and the  former underground storage tank area may still require remediation costing thousands of dollars. Leaking oil tanks can cause sick building syndrome within the structure should petroleum vapors enter the structure. Environmental Systems is a full service environmental company providing oil tank removal, testing and remediation services.
