FAQ

When purchasing or selling a home, having an oil tank sweep performed is imperative to ensuring your property is clear of any potential environmental hazards. The EPA has estimated over 100,000 unknown or undiscovered Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) located in New Jersey alone. Half of all oil tanks removed have holes and require environmental cleanup. It is a significant expense if you purchase a home in NJ without knowing what lies beneath your property.

We have over 20 years of experience in subsurface investigation.

We are fully insured not just in General Liability but also in Environmental and Error and Omission protecting our clients.

Ground-penetrating radar is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. This non-destructive method allows us to detect underground utilities and storage tanks with a non-invasive approach. GPR is used when there are limitations with standard metal detection. For example, wire mesh or rebar reinforced concrete, sidewalks, driveways and patios.
