Selling or Buying an Older Property?
Cedar Rock can assist you in determining whether or not a potential environmental liability exists.
A leaking underground or above ground heating oil fuel storage tank (UST/AST) is potentially a huge liability for the purchaser of a residential property and may cause owners significant difficulties in selling their properties as well as a significant loss of value. Soils contaminated by a leaking oil storage tank must be removed in accordance with North Carolina legislation in order for you to be able to sell the property.
The cost of the removal of a buried heating oil storage tank and clean-up of a contaminated site according to NC State guidelines is significant, not to mention the paperwork and reports that are required.
Fortunately, for many property owners, the State of North Carolina currently has a Trust Fund that can greatly assist by meeting much of the cost of the clean-up of contaminated soil following the removal of a leaking underground heating oil storage tank. Cedar Rock also offers significant assistance that helps owners to meet these costs.
With experience gained from handling over 1,000 project sites and a thorough knowledge of North Carolina regulations for leaking oil storage tanks, Cedar Rock can quickly assess your situation by locating any oil tanks buried underground, checking for soil contamination and then recommending the best course of action for your situation. And with Cedar Rock you can have peace of mind because unlike most other consultants we offer multiple guarantees for our work.
