Buyer's Of Short Sales & Foreclosures Blindsided By Expensive Hidden Oil Tank Issues !

BASKING RIDGE, N.J. - Feb. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- The most terrifying words on a residential home sales contract is  "Oil Tanks Unkown". Having a home inspection and a Tank Sweep performed with ordinary metal detectors will not identify soil or ground water contamination from a previously removed tanks.These too services due not completely proptect the buyer . The buyer will need to have Ground Penetrating Radar scan plus ground water and soil sampling to identify past environemntal oil tank issues. A tank may have been removed 25 years ago, if that tank was leaking the cost of remediation may be over $ 25,000. If a finacial Instition is involved in the transaction they will be selling this property " As Is" and claiming they have no knowledge of past or present heating oil tanks. Purchasing a property in New Jersey without have soiling or ground water testing is foolish. Poor indoor Air Quality and Sick Building Syndrome can impact the air quality of home causing alergy and respiratory sickness to its occupants. Petroleum and chmical vapors can flow through the basement floor and impact a home.
