Real Estate Values Impacted in New Jersey By Substandard Oil Tank Contractors !

SHREWSBURY, N.J. - Dec. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Purchasing a home in New Jersey can be a big investment. Many of thse homes once had buried oil tanks that were possibley leeking. Up until 2007 Oil could have been removed by unlicensed contractors. Remediation at time to the present had to be completed by a NJ Licensed Subsurface Evaluation. Many oil tanks were removed by general excavators or landscapers that may have covered up leaking oil tanks and left contaminated soil in the ground surrounding a structure. It not unusual for a home buyer to hire a environmental company to perfrom a oil tank sweep and soil borings. Soil borings typically will identify stained and contaminated petroleum soils. If  soil contamination is detected the consultant may contact the NJDEP for a case number that will follow the property untill it is closed out. Petroleum contaminated soils can cause Vapor Intrusion Conditions in a home causing poor indoor iar quality and health problems. Environmental Systems is a full service Environmental Company that specializes in Oil tank removal and remediation in addition to remediation of contaminated soil and ground water. Every oil tank project is supervisied  by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional ( LSRP) and not just a Subsurface Evaluator who may not have a degree in science. Environmental Systems maintains a fleet of excavation and investiqation equipment to insure every project is completed to high standards that exceed the NJDEp requirements.

Some non -LSRP tank companies cut corners by using ordinary fill for backfil. Environmental Systems uses only cerified fill materials compatable with the site soils. Hiring a low cost non LSRP contractor could impacts a property value if a improper remediation is perfromed.
