Oil Tank Sweep Inspection | Septic Tank Sweep Inspection | Monmouth County, NJ- Based
Jersey Strong Home Inspection, based in Morganville, a community in Marlboro and Monmouth County, NJ, who also serves the surrounding Middlesex, Union, Somerset, Essex, Ocean, and Morris counties recommends performing a Buried Oil Tank Sweep or a Septic Tank Sweep Inspection to determine if the troubled tank is present. We offer to do a tank sweep inspection anywhere in Central New Jersey, including at the time of a home inspection. We offer an Inspection package rate that can save property owners and buyers both time and money.
We recommend a Tank Sweep and Tank Inspection because, in older homes, heating with oil and fuel was common. The oil tanks were often buried on the property, leaving them susceptible to the elements. Over time buried Oil Tanks can degrade, rust, crack and ultimately leak oil. This can result in a potentially large environmental hazard and a large cost for cleanup. Once the buyer of the house takes ownership, this potential hazard becomes their responsibility and can result in a large financial liability.
Locating Buried Oil Tanks | Monmouth County NJ-Based
To locate the tanks, we offer Tank Sweep and Buried Tank Inspection services. Initially, we perform a visual inspection in the accessible areas of the exterior and interior, looking for oil tank caps, fill pipes, vent pipes, copper lines, or remnants of copper lines at the basement wall, floor, or where any other possible signs of a previous oil tank might show itself. After the visual inspection is complete, we use industry-standard metal detectors to scan the accessible exterior area and mark the area where any high levels of metal might be detected. This area is then probed to determine if it is metal and then marked in the approximate shape.
Occasionally we have located secondary tanks, even though documentation provided indicated that an oil tank was already removed. Therefore, it is in the buyers’ best interest to have this service performed at the time of inspection, especially for older homes.
Oil Tank Inspection reports will include photos indicating the location of a buried structure, findings, and recommendations.
