Learn moreFor most of the 20th century, New Jersey homes were heated with fuel oil stored in underground tanks. When homes switched to gas, those tanks were often left in the ground — forgotten by everyone except the next buyer.
A tank that leaked can contaminate soil and groundwater. Whoever owns the property owns the cleanup, which commonly runs from $8,000 to over $100,000 and is rarely covered by homeowner's insurance.
We inspect the property inside and out for the tell-tale signs of a current or former underground tank.
Using ferromagnetic locating, we sweep the yard, driveway and patios for tank-like anomalies.
Ground penetrating radar and probing confirm depth, size and material of any anomaly we find.
You receive a clear report documenting our findings — often the very same day.

Read articleAn oil tank sweep is a non-invasive inspection that uses professional subsurface detection equipment to locate buried or abandoned underground oil tanks on a property. It's the reliable way to find out whether a hidden tank exists before you buy, sell, or close on a home.
If a buried tank leaked, the new property owner becomes responsible for the cleanup — commonly $8,000 to over $100,000, and usually not covered by homeowner's insurance. A sweep before closing protects you from inheriting that liability.
Most residential sweeps take about an hour on site. We can often deliver your written report the same day, which is important when you're working on a real-estate timeline.
Pricing depends on property size and access, but a sweep is a tiny fraction of what a leaking-tank cleanup costs. We keep pricing transparent with no surprise add-on fees for ground penetrating radar. Call 973-559-2309 for a free quote.
We serve all of Northern New Jersey, including Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Hudson and Union counties — over 180 municipalities. Find your town on our service areas page.
You receive a written report documenting the tank's location, depth and size. We can then talk you through your options, whether that's testing the soil, negotiating with the seller, or arranging removal.
