Our Thorough Underground Oil Tank Detection Process

2. Exterior Investigation
Our comprehensive exterior sweep includes:

  • Foundation Analysis: We examine basement and furnace area foundation walls for patchwork consistent with previous tank removal work/li>
  • Abandoned Piping Detection: Our specialists search for copper lines or abandoned fill/vent pipes in walls or floors
  • Signal Transmission: If lines are discovered, we connect specialized transmitter equipment to precisely trace their path
  • Foundation Perimeter Check: Careful inspection of the building foundation for oil vent or fill pipes
  • Advanced Signal Tracing: Using professional-grade transmitters and receivers to follow any discovered piping
  • Geoprobe Scanning Technology: If no visible indicators are found, we conduct a thorough metallic scan in a 30-foot radius around the structure
  • Deep Detection Capability: Our equipment penetrates up to 8 feet below ground to identify objects consistent with underground storage tank

Following your underground tank sweep, you’ll receive:

  • Detailed Inspection Report: Comprehensive documentation of all findings
