In this Tank TV case study, Simple Tank Services investigates a real New Jersey oil tank issue involving possible contamination beneath a new addition.
Project Overview
- Location: New Jersey
- Services: Soil testing and oil tank investigation
- Episode Focus: Contamination Under New Addition?!
- Contractor: Simple Tank Services
What Happened on This Project
Our client was purchasing a property where the previous oil tank had been removed without a township inspection.
The seller later built a new addition over the area where the old tank had been located. We investigated the soils for the buyer to determine whether contamination was present beneath or around the former tank area.
Why This Matters for New Jersey Homeowners
When a former underground oil tank area is covered by an addition, patio, driveway, or other structure, the environmental history of that area can become harder to evaluate. Soil testing and a clear investigation can give buyers and homeowners better information before they move forward.
