Oil Tank Detection

What is oil tank detection?

Does my Residential or Commercial property have a hidden buried Oil Tank (UST)?
If your Residential or Commercial property has a dwelling or a building built prior to 1970, there is a significant chance that an abandoned Oil Tank could exist on the property. Prior to the 1970s, many heating systems utilized furnace oil as a source of fuel prior to the installation of natural gas. Oil Tank Detection is the process of locating and identifying underground or above-ground storage tanks that contain oil or other hazardous materials. Oil tank detection is often done for a variety of reasons, including:

• To Protect The Environment: Oil Tanks that are no longer in use can pose a risk to the environment if they leak or spill their contents. Oil Tank detection can be used to identify the presence and location of these tanks, which can help detect an environmental issue and allow for the safe removal.
• Oil Tanks and Real Estate Transactions: If you are buying or selling a property, oil tank detection can be used to identify the presence of any underground storage tanks on the property. This can be important for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to obtaining financing or insurance.

There are several methods that can be used for oil tank detection, including ground-penetrating radar (GPR), magnetic locating and metal detecion. The specific method used will depend on the property, as well as the specific goals of the detection effort. We will work with you to determine the best and easiest method to detect your oil tank.
