- If you are buying or selling a property or land, CALL US!! Period. Even if you don’t consider our suggestions, or you ultimately have no issues on your property, CALL US!! Real Estate is often the largest and most important asset that you own. Protect it.
- Always scan for oil tanks when purchasing a house, even if the town or current owner has no history of one being there. As the current homeowner/seller, it is always advised to do a tank sweep prior to putting your house on the market. This eliminates surprises later in the closing process, and can result in things like a delayed closing, the buyers walking, etc.
- Always call us before remodeling ANYTHING (if your home was built prior to 1979); asbestos testing is always a good idea prior to ripping out walls, tiles, pipes, etc. Any of those surfaces could indeed contain asbestos. At the very least, let us come out to give you a free quote for the removal if you are unsure.
- Commercial building and landowners – ALWAYS call us prior to putting your property on the market. There are certain obligations that fall under some commercial owners. Typically, those obligations are due to what is called an ISRA case. ISRA properties are required to, at a minimum, some soil and groundwater testing. The results of those tests determine if further testing or remediation is required prior to purchasing the property. If you are an individual or business purchasing said property, a Phase I is a good place to start to ensure that you are covered from known and potential environmental concerns on the site. This is a way to ensure that the property is clean from any environmental issues.
- If you are NOT satisfied with the pace or result of work from your current environmental consultant. We are happy to review past or proposed work. We also often take over projects where the clients feel that their best interest is not being met
- If you get a letter from the NJDEP, immediately call us. The DEP often sits on issues for years, but when they are ready to move, you need to MOVE. We can curate a plan to get you back into compliance, whether it’s for monitoring well testing, or a large superfund site, we can help.
- If you are worried about the air quality in your house, or people in the home have been complaining of allergies or breathing issues. We can provide air quality testing - radon, mold, and asbestos air tests. Mold often hides behind walls in typical areas, like basements, attics, and bathrooms. We are able to provide testing and remediation for both.
Knowing a property's environmental history is important for any landowner - or buyer. Finding the hot spots is essential.
