What Happened on This Project
This episode continues the investigation from Part I, where contamination was found around a previously foam-filled underground tank.
The homeowner had paperwork showing the tank had been abandoned, but further investigation found petroleum impacts extending well below the former tank area. We provided a defined remediation approach, coordinated the work around the real-estate transaction, removed the tank, and completed the soil remediation.
Why This Matters for New Jersey Homeowners
Old abandonment paperwork does not always tell the full environmental story. When contamination is present, having one contractor coordinate removal, excavation, sampling, and documentation can help move a property toward closure more efficiently.
