Oil Tank Sweep NJ Proud to serve you as the only tank sweep company in new jersey offering local file review.
An NJDEP file review will reveal documentation (if any) on reported contamination for the history of the property. This is important to do because in the case where an oil tank was removed from the ground and it was found to be leaking but never cleaned up, a normal oil tank sweep would show no presence of an underground tank. Only the NJDEP file review would reveal the existence of an NJDEP case number and existence of contamination on the property.

The purpose of having an Oil Tank Sweep done in NJ is to detect the presence of an underground oil tank. The purpose of identifying an underground tank is to avoid the potential of a costly contamination cleanup from a leaking tank. What most home buyers don't know is that thousands of properties in NJ have undergone oil tank removals where the tank leaked and the contamination was never cleaned up. In the state of New Jersey, when the removal of a UST has failed inspection (tank leaked, contamination present) a homeowner is not required to clean up the mess. The certified removal contractor is required to report the issue to the NJDEP.

An Oil Tank Sweep is an investigation into the existence or non existence of an underground oil tank on a particular property using subsurface detection instruments and visual cues. The process includes a scan of the property to detect the existence of an underground mass and a visual inspection of the property and structures. Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC has performed thousands of sweeps in New Jersey. We offer industry leading equipment and highly trained personnll to ensure that your new home or business is UST (Underground Storage Tank) free!
The on site portion of a tank sweep is done through a 2 part process:
1. Subsurface detection scan: Subsurface detection equipment is used to scan the entire surface area of the property. The detection equipment alerts to the presence of underground mass consistent with the size of a UST (underground storage tank). NOTE: This is not conducted with a common metal detector. Common metal detectors lack the depth range needed to perform an oil tank sweep NJ. A suburface detection locator is used by insdustry professionals to peform this task.
2. Visual Inspection: The existence of an underground tank and its associated components leave a trail of evidence around a property. Many times after a tank is gone the associated components such as the piping, tubing, and gauges still remain at the property. An oil tank sweep in NJ requires a technicain with a trained eye, and years of expience to identify the evidence present and decipher the most probable scenario based on all the information gathered during the oil tank sweep.
The NJDEP and Local File Review Goes a step further revealing available documentation on:
1. Oil Tank Installations on property including Dates and Inspection Details
2. Oil Tank Removals/Abandonment on property including Dates and Details
3. Reported contamination or environmental issues on the property
Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC performs a majority of its oil tank sweeps for individuals involved in the sale of a home or property. A sweep is always recommended for prospective home buyers. Purchasing a home with an underground oil tank is a significant risk. There is no way of determining with 100% certainty the condition of an underground oil tank without removing it from the ground. Horror stories can be found all over the internet of home buyers who purchased real estate in NJ without having an oil tank sweep done only to find that an underground storage tank exists on their property. Tales of $20k - $50k soil remediation projects and seller's forced to let go of their homes for a fraction of what it's worth are littered across the web. No buyer will ever pay market value for a home with a UST. Mortgage Lenders no longer approve loans on properties with underground storage tanks. You can bet that any prospective buyer of your current or future home is going to have an oil tank sweep done before purchase. Yet people are still willing to "Save Money" by opting out of having an oil tank sweep done. Its a risky game that could end up costing you tens of thousands in clean up costs. The Centanni law group composed a brilliant article titled This is what happens when you "save" money on oil tank sweeps" Oil Tank Removal NJ LLC
To ensure that you the customer are receiving the highest quality tank inspection possible we have spared no expense in acquiring the latest in underground storage tank detection instruments. Our underground storage tank detection instrument looks and sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi movie but don't be fooled! This is actually the latest technology in specifically detection UST's. There are a wide variety of instruments that can be used to locate underground metal objects, including underground oil tanks. The issue is that many of these instruments make no discrimination between a large mass or a small mass, they simply sound when detected. Yes many of these instruments are super powerful! The magnetic locator featured in the photo to the left is so powerful it can detect the presence of a nail up to 7 feet underground! But to locate large mass type metallic objects buried underground, Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC uses the Fisher TW-6. This is our weapon of choice for a few reasons. It scans a larger surface area at once in comparison to a CST BERGER or Schonstedt GA-72CD. The Fisher TW-6 has a specific setting to detect underground oil tanks which makes in unique in its class of locators as the only one of its kind. Finally The Fisher TW-6 is not easily set off by small metallic objects, which makes it the perfect tool for a precise focused tank sweep.
It isn't unusual for a realtor or seller to produce an oil tank sweep report that was done at an earlier point in time, possibly when the homeowners bought the home or earlier. Be sure to scrutinize this paperwork and be sure that the oil tank sweep was done by a reputable company and that it was done correctly. In May of 2022 Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC performed sweeps on three separate properties, all of which had Oil Tank Sweep documentation that no oil tanks existed on the referenced property, and Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC located underground Oil Tanks on the premises. There are many properties that we sweep under the same circumstances that do not contain oil tanks, but you as an informed educated buyer must be aware that the following happens everyday here in NJ....
→Unfortunately Many Tank Sweep Providers will accept payment to provide false documentation to aid in the sale of a property
→Oil Tank Sweeps are conducted with improper equipment
→Tank Scans are done that don't cover the entire surface area of the property!
Don't let an improper sweep or false documentation lure you into acquiring a home with an underground oil tank. When it's time to sell your home you can bet that the potential buyers will be conducting their own tank sweep with a trusted oil tank sweep company. Be sure to do your homework and get it done correctly. Taking the word or documentation of the seller could leave you with Tens of Thousands in cleanup costs from a leaking oil tank.
Within this past month Oil Tank Sweep NJ LLC performed an Oil Tank Sweep in Springfield NJ that yielded a result of no oil tanks found. No vent pipes were located, no fill pipes were located and no oil lines were existing anywhere on the property. After the Oil Tank Sweep an NJDEP file search was done. The file search found an active open site remediation case for the target property. That means, contamination from a leaking oil tank currently exists at the property although the tank was removed. If the prospective buyer were to have moved forward with the purchase, he would have been purchasing a major liability. The buyer would have incurred a $20,000+ cleanup cost or be forced to sell his home in the future for a fraction of what he bought it for.
