Oil Tank Inspection in Bee Cave

A professional oil tank inspection in Bee Cave includes a visual assessment of any above-ground pipes or fittings, a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) or magnetometer sweep to locate buried tanks, and soil screening around the tank perimeter. We provide a written inspection report suitable for real estate transactions, mortgage lenders, and insurance purposes.

A standard residential oil tank inspection typically takes 1–3 hours on-site. The written report is usually delivered within 24–48 hours. If soil borings are required for a more detailed assessment, the lab results add 1–2 weeks.

While not always legally required, most real estate attorneys, mortgage lenders, and title insurance companies in Bee Cave strongly recommend or require a tank inspection before closing on a property built before 1975. Discovering a leaking tank after purchase makes the new owner responsible for all cleanup costs.

If our inspection reveals evidence of a petroleum release, we will advise you on the next steps, which typically include soil borings for laboratory analysis, notification to the state environmental agency, and development of a remediation plan. We can manage the entire process from inspection through to regulatory closure.
