The Importance of Land Surveying

Many older dwellings in North Carolina used heating oil stored in an underground tank (UST) or an above ground tank (AST) as a source of warmth before the widespread availability of natural gas or the existence of electric home heating. Many heating oil tanks remain on commercial and residential properties and are potential liabilities if they aren’t disposed of properly. Those who own or wish to buy aged residential or commercial property should be extremely cautious.

Has Your Heating Oil Tank Leaked?

Whether you’re a residential or a commercial client, if you have a heating oil tank on your property, your first concern is whether or not the tank has leaked. When you request our environmental services, our skilled professionals will safely perform a comprehensive site inspection. Soil samples will be collected near the UST or AST, field inspected, and analyzed to determine if there has been leak.

After checking in multiple locations, if there is no evidence of heating oil in the soil, we’ll have strong knowledge that tank hasn’t leaked. However, the only way to be certain a UST hasn’t leaked is to remove the UST and directly inspect the soil beneath the UST. Our removal services start at $1,200.

From general property assessments to full-scale cleanup, no is job too big or too small for our experienced personnel. Reach out to our team for an inspection and we’ll determine how to best proceed with your property assessment.
