CMA representatives obtain pertinent information from the homeowner regarding their UST, then visit the residence for a quick inspection to verify the aspects of the job.  A proposal is then written, sent to the homeowner cost free describing the work to be performed and it’s cost.  Prior to implementing work, a permit is obtained from the local municipality.  Oversight inspections by the appropriate city authorities and county health departments are always included in the process.  A letter report documenting the removal process along with the appropriate attachments is then provided to the homeowner for their records.

 

CMA also possesses a valid home improvement contractor license allowing the company to install ASTs. If applicable, ASTs are generally installed on the same day that the UST removal occurs.  Installation permits are obtained from the local city construction department.  Tanks are installed per applicable building and fire codes.  Inspections for AST installations are generally performed by the municipalities building and fire inspectors.   

 

Oil Leak Cleanups

 

If a UST or AST has had a release, CMA is a full service environmental remediation company, providing remedial action alternative scenarios that best fit the homeowners needs and budgetary restraints.  CMA representatives work with the homeowner to aid in determining funding that may be available either through their homeowners insurance or through state UST Funds and grants.  During this process, CMA is working for the property owner and looking out for their best interest. 

 

CMA’s experience in working with both of these entities is a major asset for the property owner.  Through past experience, CMA is able to streamline the entire project from start to finish thereby obtaining the best outcome for the property owner.  Unlike other companies, CMA representatives work closely with the homeowner over the entire length of the project educating them on all aspects of the job.  CMA always delineates a spill project before choosing a remedial alternative.  By determining the exact size, shape and depth, CMA representatives are able to provide a realistic cost estimate for the cleanup.  Once a remedial strategy is chosen, all aspects of the project are explained in full before any work is performed. 

 

As the project progresses in a dynamic fashion, CMA is always available to answer questions from the property owner.  Our goal is 100% satisfaction from our clients.  Remediations are implemented within a time frame that accommodates the homeowner.  All reporting required to obtain a letter of “No Further Action” from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is submitted by CMA.
