Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Services in New Jersey
When it comes to locating hidden objects beneath the surface, accuracy matters. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive, high-resolution imaging technology that helps detect buried structures and anomalies without disturbing the ground. Whether it’s identifying oil tanks, septic systems, utilities, or voids, GPR provides property owners and buyers with peace of mind before making important decisions.

What is Ground Penetrating Radar?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) uses electromagnetic waves to scan below the ground’s surface. By sending radar pulses into the soil and recording reflections, GPR creates a clear picture of what’s hidden underground. Unlike metal detectors or invasive digging, GPR works on both metallic and non-metallic objects, making it one of the most reliable methods for subsurface investigation.
Why Choose GPR for Property Scans?
- Accurate Results – Detects both metallic and non-metallic objects.
- Non-Destructive – No digging or soil disturbance required.
- Versatile – Useful for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
- Fast & Efficient – Scans large areas quickly with real-time results.
- Peace of Mind – Confirms whether an anomaly is an oil tank, utility line, or natural void.
What Can GPR Detect?
- Our GPR scans are ideal for identifying:
- Abandoned underground oil tanks
- Septic tanks and cesspools
- Utility lines (gas, water, electric, sewer)
- Voids, sinkholes, or subsurface anomalies

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) – FAQs
All your questions about the oil industry answered.
What is Ground Penetrating Radar used for?
GPR is used to detect underground tanks, utilities, voids, and buried objects without excavation.
How deep can GPR detect?
Typically, GPR can detect objects up to 15–20 feet deep, depending on soil conditions.
Is GPR safe?
Yes, GPR is completely non-invasive and safe for people, property, and the environment.
Can GPR detect oil tanks?
Yes, GPR can detect both metallic and non-metallic oil tanks underground.
How is GPR different from metal detection?
Metal detectors only identify metal, while GPR can detect both metallic and non-metallic structures.
Do I need GPR if I’m buying a home?
Yes, GPR is highly recommended during property inspections to rule out hidden oil tanks or underground hazards.
