How do I find out about any existing hazardous materials on property I am thinking of buying?
You should conduct an investigation, including a check with the local health department and your state’s environmental agency for any specifics they may have. For individual homes, you could hire a certified specialist to look for asbestos, radon, lead-based paint, and other hazards. Obtaining an environmental audit prior to purchase would also help shield you from any subsequent liability in the event there is later a release of hazardous material. These inspections should include professional written reports.
