Homes For Sale in N.J. Plagued By Hidden Environmental Issues !

NEW JERSEY, N.J. - Oct. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Many New Jersey home buyers are faced with the same problem. You buy a house in a nice neighborhood, the house passes the home inspection yet within 6 months you find out house contains lead paint, a leaking oil tank or has mold problems. These problems could have been identified before purchase by completing some environmental inspections. Most home inspectors are not qualified to complete environmental inspections. Some home owners have a Oil Tank Sweep beefore purchase and this may provide them with a false sense of security. Most oil tank sweeps use a metal magnetometer wand that can fin metal objects such as oil tanks. If the tank is filled in place it may be missed. Environmental systems uses ground penetrating radar to itentify buried structures. If a GPR Survey or a oridinary tank sweep is complete properly the inspectiotor should have found some areas that require furhter investigation. These areas should be inspected further with extra cost soil borings to identify the area in question and to see if the soil is contaminated with heating oil. Ground Penetrating Radar can also identify no metallic objects such as Asbestos, shingles, contruction debris , platic piping and tree roots. Sinks holes can be formed by leaking pipes or buried construction debris and can be identified only with Ground Penetrating Radar. Soil boring are important to identify what is buried underground and to determine if the site has oil contaminated soil. A neighbors oil tank could be leaking heating oil into the ground water and all of sudden your basement sump pump has heating oil in it. Vapors from heating oil can enter a structure.These petroleum vapors can trigger allergies and other health problems that are sometimes confused with mold. Mold can be present inside walls of the living areas or in the basement. Convection of air currents within the home can cause mold spores to travel cuasing severe Indoor Air Quality problems and health Issues.
