Worried Over a Possible Hidden Oil Tank on your Property?

Whether you are planning to sell you property or not or you are having sleepless nights worried over a possible storage tank on your property? Whatever the scenario is, it can be unnerving to worry over a hidden oil tank. There are chances that the damage has already been done. There could be a spill on the property and it could be reaching the threshold of your neighbors.

What exactly can you do for this?

If you are worried over the presence of an oil tank on your property, look for signs. The first and foremost thing you can do is look for some easy to identify signs that can tell you there is a hidden storage tank or a possible spill on the property. Some of these signs include:

• Vent or filling pipes protruding from the ground without any explanation
• Depressions on the ground near a building
• Heavy plantation or thick grass in a small area to hide the remains of an old fuel tank or its opening
• Age and type of the property along with its location gives you an idea if that area had oil tank usage and if there was a possible oil tank used at the property with some research into the investigations.
• There are also various indoor visual clues such as pipes or venting units inside the house without any outlets or inlets. These pipes could have been attached to a heating unit or oil tank earlier.

Undetected underground storage tank or UST can be a menace to the property. They can cause a lot of turmoil in the lives of the property occupants as well as their neighbors. The dangers of oil spill or possible leakage from the poorly abandoned fuel tank can prove hazardous to the environment as well as the people residing in its vicinity.
