Frequently Asked Questions

How do you locate a buried oil tank on my property?

We use a combination of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and a magnetometer (metal detector) to locate buried tanks without excavation. GPR sends radar pulses into the ground and maps subsurface objects; the magnetometer detects ferrous metal. Together, these tools can locate tanks even when there are no visible pipes or records of installation.

How accurate is GPR tank locating?

GPR is highly accurate for detecting metal tanks within the top 6–8 feet of soil, which covers the vast majority of residential USTs. It can estimate the tank's size, depth, and orientation. Results are provided in a written report with a site diagram showing the tank's location relative to the property boundaries.

When should I get a tank sweep?

A tank sweep is recommended before purchasing any home built before 1975, when a home inspection report notes disconnected oil lines or fill pipes, when you notice unexplained fuel odours on the property, or when a previous owner's records are unavailable. It is a low-cost way to identify a potentially significant environmental liability before it becomes your problem.

What if the sweep finds a tank?

If our sweep confirms the presence of a buried tank, we will advise you on the next steps — typically a soil assessment to check for leaks, followed by removal or abandonment-in-place. We can manage the entire process from the initial sweep through to regulatory closure.
