Oil Tank Testing
Oil Tank Sweeps
If your house have a septic system, it is important to evaluate the system once at least every 5 years or prior to sale of the house. Our septic professionals can inspect the system, pump the tank, run cameras through the waste lines to ensure everything is in working order and evaluate all the components from the tank to the field.
We will make sure you understand the system and its components and how to best protect and maintain the system. You will receive a detailed Septic Report completed by our licensed Septic Inspection vendor company.

Oil Tank Sweeps
Many older homes were initially heated with oil. After a natural gas conversion, tanks may have been forgotten about or never completely removed. The history of many properties is unknown because some towns did not initially record the location of oil tanks.
Although we look for any visible signs of an existing oil tank throughout our inspection, we cannot confirm with 100% certainty that an abandoned oil tank does not exist on the property.
We highly recommend that an Oil Tank Search or sweep be conducted to determine if an abandoned heating oil tank remains on this property. Unknown or abandoned tanks are common place. A Tank Search or sweep is performed with specialized sub-surface tank detection equipment.

The existing tank and soil around it can be tested to determine if there are any potential contamination hazards.
We highly encourage that an oil storage tank be professionally tested. We recommend that a tank specialist perform a precision tank integrity test and / or sub-surface soil sampling. A complete tank investigation will determine tank integrity and identify soil contamination.
Testing the soil around any home heating oil tank is paramount. Verifying soil contamination is most important, should you ever want to remove the tank and convert to another fuel.
The clean-up cost for a “Simple” leak averages $15,000-$30,000. All lab work and sampling will be done by a licensed and approved DEP vendor and guaranteed. A detailed report with explanation and relevant lab work will be provided in an easy to read format.
