PRLog -- Buying a home in NJ can be tricky. A oil tank sweep complete with a metal detector may miss a dedeep buried tank. Envronmental Systems always recomends using Ground Penetrating Radar ( GPR) to look under Concrete and Asphalt down to a depth of 18 feet below the surface. Oil tank sweeps do not see cemicals or petroleum contamintion. Soil borings and ground water contamintion from on site and off site sources can impact properties. A discharge from a drycleaner in a strip mall over 1 mile away can contaminate ground water under property and property owner may never know it. Vapor intrusion of chlorinated solvents and gasoline can impact the indoor air quality of a home from " VAPOR INTRUSTION" of chemicals from the ground water. Environmental Ststems provides detailed soil boring and ground water collection services to protect the potential buyer from purchasing a contaminated site. Recently a unsupectiong home owner in Marlboro ,N.J. puchased a home after having a tank sweep. A few months later a neighbor infomed them that he had heating oil in his basement sump pump. Futher investigation identified a area contaminated by a previously removed oil tank. The cost to remediate the two properties wa sover a 100K. Environmental Systems can provide the potential home buyer or commercial property puchaser with all the necessay soil and ground testing services to allow the buyer to make a educated buying decision.
