Our licensed team provides professional oil tank inspection services throughout Austin and the surrounding area. We are DEP-licensed, OSHA-certified, and fully insured. All permits are handled by our team, and we provide complete closure documentation for real estate transactions and regulatory compliance.
A professional oil tank inspection in Austin 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 Austin 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.
