Its 10 PM, Is that New Home Your Purchasing Located On A Heating Oil Contaminated Property ?

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. - Feb. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Many home buryers have a "Tank Sweep" completed as part there home inspection process. If the tank sweep is performed with ordinany metal magnetrometry wand, a buried in place heating oil tank may be missed because of lack of visualization  and technology. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can identifiy subsurface soil disturbances indicating the posible past presence of a heating oil tank. Soil borings are a additional recomended service to have completed to identifypossible soil contamination from a ol tank that was previously removed. Oil tank sweeps and Ground Penetrating Radar scans do not identify soil contamination and extra cost soil borings are also well worth the investment as oil tank cleanups can be very expensive. Some people believe that if they do nothing heating oil contamination will go away, However, this may not be always the case as there have been cases were the soil contamination from heating oil has impacted ground water that contaminated neighboring properties. Soil vapor intrusion into a home from contaminated soil under the basement can impact the health of a homes occupants.
