Home Inspection Firm Offers Environmental Reports

New Jesey Home Inspection firm partners with Environmental Data Resources to provide clients with detailed environmental information.

West Paterson, New Jersey (PRWEB) June 5, 2007 -- Consumers preparing to buy or sell a home, as well as existing homeowners, now have the opportunity to conduct an even more thorough inspection of a property that will help them protect their health and investment. Accurate Inspections, Inc. a premier provider of home inspection services in New Jersey, announces it now offers the EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report™ among its home inspection services. Developed exclusively for home buyers and sellers, the EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report™ identifies potential environmental risks such as leaking underground tanks, landfills and toxic waste sites on or near a property that may threaten a family's health or the value of their investment.

Developed by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR), the leading national provider of environmental risk information, the comprehensive, easy to read report is being offered to meet growing demand for pre-purchase information for real estate agents, loan brokers, real estate professionals, and home-buyers and sellers in the U.S. The reports are generated from the largest collection of local, state, federal and proprietary environmental records in the U.S. and provide important information on known and potential contamination that exists on or in the vicinity of a property.

While the reports most often give many properties

"Accurate Inspections, Inc. is very excited to work with EDR to provide this valuable service to real estate professionals, home-buyers and home sellers," said Michael Del Greco, President of Accurate Inspections, Inc. "While the reports most often give many properties " a clean bill of health, real estate professionals and home-buyers are always much better off uncovering any potential environmental issues up front, as opposed to retroactively addressing a problem after a sale has been completed. "As EDR-Certified home inspectors, we are able to provide the follow up assistance and guidance consumers need to resolve any issues the report may reveal, just as our home inspection checklist does. " Del Greco said.

Neighborhood Environmental Reports cover the entire U.S. and provide records of contamination that could cause serious health problems as well as property devaluation. Homes that are contaminated often show no visible signs of the dangers they pose to residents through toxic air, water or soil problems. Examples of issues the report screens for include leaking underground storage tanks, landfills, defense sites, hazardous waste sites, Superfund sites and former meth-amphetamine ("meth") drug laboratories.

"For nearly 20 years, environmental information has been a part of commercial real estate transactions. EDR has now created a report for consumers in response to the growing trend of residential buyers wanting or even expecting increasing amounts of information before making important decisions; whether purchasing a car, making a health-related decision or investing in a home," said Robert Barber, CEO of EDR. "Part of this 'due diligence' trend is an increasing demand for expertly prepared environmental information."

Accurate Inspections, Inc. is an independently owned and operated home inspection business obtaining nearly all home inspections from previous clients and attornies. Thus they are able to provide home buyers with honest unbiased advice and information and provide home inspector training to new home inspectors.
