What this service is — and is not
We provide: non-invasive underground locating, field markings, and PDF documentation consistent with our other GPR utility locating engagements.
We do not provide: tank closure certificates, soil borings, remediation design, or licensed tank removal. When those are required, we are happy to hand off clear marks and a report to your environmental or excavation contractor.
Typical triggers
- Basement conversion or daylighting where a fill pipe or vent was capped but not mapped
- Landscape or driveway work over a suspected former tank pad
- Due diligence when disclosure or insurer asks for subsurface clarity before closing
- Demolition planning where an undocumented UST could affect equipment placement
Related residential GPR
Many properties bundle questions: combine with septic locating or well line locating when quoting multi-area scans.
Pricing
Residential scan packages often apply for single-anomaly focus areas; larger sites or multiple suspected features are quoted to scope. See published scan rates & minimums.
FAQ
- Do you remove or decommission buried oil tanks?
- No — we image, mark, and report. Use a licensed contractor for removal and regulatory steps.
- Why use GPR for a suspected buried tank?
- GPR can support locating anomalies and excavation limits when records are thin — useful before you commit heavy equipment.
- Will you mark the area for my contractor?
- Yes — field markings plus a PDF aligned with our standard deliverables.
- What counties do you cover?
- Our nine Northeast Ohio counties listed on this page.
Methodology: tank imaging limits and general GPR references are on standards & further reading.
