A leaking underground oil tank can be the nightmare below the surface of your dream home.

When oil tanks leak, they can contaminate soil and potentially, the groundwater. If the property is purchased with a leaking tank, the new owner is responsible for all environmental cleanup cost, including hundreds of thousands in financial liability. The property cannot undergo real estate transactions until the NJDEP issues a No Further Action (NFA) letter, and the staggering cost of clean up is not covered by most homeowner insurance policies.

Underground Oil Tank Location Experts

GPR

We’re Insured.

Each GPR Tank Sweep report carries a 2 Million dollar insurance policy. Our customers
are covered, and have peace of mind, should we err in our investigation.

No Need for a Second Opinion.

We have the only transferable report in the business. Buyer's don't need to have another sweep done, we can make a new report in their name!

Line Tracing is ALWAYS Included.

Specialized Line Tracing Equipment is used (as necessary) on every job! Line Tracing
can lead us to an endpoint where a tank is, or once was.  This is valuable information (where to test soil for contaminants) if the tank is gone but there is not a properly documented removal.

Easy Scheduling & Great Service!

Book appointments through our website or call and speak directly to our friendly and knowledgeable office staff. They are happy to answer any questions you may have, but don’t take our word for it! We’re proud to stand behind hundreds of 5 star reviews.

GPR is ALWAYS Included if Necessary.

Ground Penetrating Radar is included (if necessary) in every job! This saves the extra time and expense associated with an exploratory dig. We also check the areas under the steel reinforced concrete driveways, walkways, and patios. There is NO additional charge for performing GPR scanning as an add-on service, like some competitors do.

The 5 Steps of a GPR Investigation

Let us walk you through our oil tank sweep services.
Visual Inspection

Visual Inspection

We perform a meticulous visual inspection, both interior and exterior, looking for any signs of Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). Underground heating oil tanks can contaminate surrounding soil, so a visual inspection of soil contamination and potential health risks are crucial prior to a subsurface detection scan to find an old oil tank.
Ferromagnetic Detection

Ferromagnetic Detection

USTs are made of steel, so we standardly perform a 30' perimeter oil tank sweep to search for any tank-like anomalies. Whole property oil tank sweeps are available also for residents of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania!
Electromagnetic Tracing

Electromagnetic Tracing

When we find abandoned oil supply lines, remote fill pipes, or vent pipes during our visual inspection, we attempt to perform line tracing which leads us to where an underground tank is, or once was. This is an important part of an oil tank sweep and can help narrow down the search on your particular property.
Ground Penetrating Radar

Ground Penetrating Radar

Areas where we detect tank-like anomalies are scanned with Ground Penetrating Radar GPR, as well as surfaces such as steel reinforced concrete patios, walkways, and driveways.
Rod Probing

Rod Probing

We use rod probing in our oil tank sweep to make contact with the discovered anomaly, to confirm the anomalies depth and that it is steel, not made of concrete with steel components inside of it. Oil Tanks tend to rest 1-3 feet below ground surface and are typically 6 feet in length.

I am very happy with the service that I received from GPR. I had them sweep a 1 acre property for me with multiple buildings and they were very thorough and reasonably priced. Brain, the technician, was fantastic - he answered all of my questions, and then some. He took the time to explain everything to me and provided valuable information. I highly recommend if you are in need of a tank sweep! Also, they offer their insurance policy, which definitely adds peace of mind.

Very professional and knowledgeable. The tech explained the whole procedure to me as he performed the service. He did end up finding an oil tank to have removed off the property and carefully marked it for the sellers. I would definitely recommend GPR Tank Sweep in the future.
