Oil Tank Sweep & Detection, New Bedford

Under agreement on a house and worried about what is buried in the yard? Smart. On older South Coast properties, a forgotten underground tank is one of the few things that can turn a clean closing into a five-figure liability, and it is invisible from the curb. An oil tank sweep is cheap due diligence, usually a fraction of what one missed tank costs.

How We Find Them

Inactive tanks hide. They get covered by decks, patios, new plantings, even garden sheds. We do not just glance around. We trace the fill and vent pipes, check the furnace room for capped copper lines that used to feed a burner, and run a magnetometer over the ground where a tank would logically sit. If the readings say steel is down there, we mark it.

You get a written finding either way, tank present or property clear. That document is what your real estate attorney and mortgage lender want in the file before you sign. Find one? We can remove it or abandon it, and often fold it into your closing timeline. Already suspect a leak? Pair the sweep with soil testing.
