New Jersey Homes For Sale May Have Concealed Environmental Problems. !

RED BANK, N.J. - Jan. 23, 2017 - PRLog -- Purchasers of homes in New Jersey should be cautionous with regard to their purchase. Old and new homes have problems due to some builders cuting courners. A tank sweep will only identify id a tank currently exists on the propertyy and does not identify if it is leaking. Up until 2007 New Jersey did not require home owners heating oil tanks to be removed by licensed, thus leaving the door open for improper tank removals tha tmay not evenhad a permit. Environmental systems with 20 years environmental experience in tank remediation and indoor air quality testing can identify prepurchase environmental problems that could costs thousands of dollars to remediate.  Vapor intrusion is when chemical vapors travel in the ground water and soils underneath a foundation and then move into the residential structure. Testing soil and ground water can identify chemicals that can cause indoor air quality problems which could result in " Sick Building Syndrome".

Environmental Systems can test soils and ground water around a structure and determine if the chemical vapor intrusion levels are safe. The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection both publish guidelines for testing and monioting of soil and ground water contaminates with respect to human exposure.  It is not uncommon to find a property that had a oil oil tank removed 20 years ago impacting the indoor air of residential or commercial property. The tank may have been removed but the contaminated soil still exists.
