That new home that your thinking of purchasing may have a hidden nightmare located under that home addition. Additional soil and ground water testing maybe needed to Identify possible contamination located in this area.

If you own old gas station, dry cleaners or Industrial property why let this property waste away. Environmental Systems provides one stop environmental site remediation services at reasonable prices.

At one time New Jersey had over 20,000 Known Contaminated Sites. Were these sites properly cleaned up or did the environmental contractor just go through the motions to fool the NJDEP.

Some oil tank removal companies do not follow the National Fire Protection Association( NFPA) and American Petroleum Institute (API) Technical Guidelines for Underground Oil Tank Removal putting NJ Homeowners in harms way.

Environmental Systems uses a Metal Detector and Ground Penetrating Radar to perform oil tank sweeps. Many companies just use a metal detector and miss buried Heating oil tanks.

There is no standard Oil Tank Sweep practices in NJ and the home buyer should be cautious. Missing a leaking heating oil tank can be quite expensive to remediate.

Improper Oil Tank removal can compromise a homes value if remediation is not completed in timely manner or by qualified individuals such as a LSRP.

Oil tanks can be comingled with other buried materials, or the tank is filled with sand. Not using Ground Penetrating Radar to identify subsurface structures are some reasons oil tanks are missed.
