When people buy a home, they research nearby schools, crime rates and average property values – so what about potential environmental risks that could affect their family’s health? Up until now, homebuyers and people considering buying or selling a home didn’t really have any options.
Available now, through SoCal Home Inspections, the Neighborhood Environmental Report™ provides an informative and easy-to-understand snapshot of a home’s environmental health and that of the surrounding area.
The Neighborhood Environmental Report™ pulls records from a variety of trusted sources, including state, federal and government databases. It searches for concerns that might be dangerous to a homeowner’s family or investment such as nearby leaking underground oil tanks, landfills, hazardous waste sites and illegal drug labs.
Some of the most dangerous or costly hazards exist outside and can contaminate a home through pathways to human contact such as vapor intrusion, soil and groundwater.
Each report includes detailed information about known and potential environmental concerns and starts with a brief summary of the findings identified about a property. Whether you are buying or selling a home, the report helps to ensure peace of mind.
If an issue does arise, oftentimes it can be resolved through inexpensive and easy to implement solutions such as the installation of a ventilation system, water filtration system and periodic water testing.
The Neighborhood Environmental Report costs only $150 and can be obtained in just one day!
