01 / INSPECTION GUIDE
When an oil tank sweep may be useful
If you are purchasing a property or have questions about its heating history, an oil tank sweep can help investigate signs of a buried tank within the agreed accessible areas. Share what you know about previous heating equipment, visible fill or vent pipes, and any available property records. A sweep is one source of information; it does not replace all records or specialist evaluations.

03 / INSPECTION GUIDE
Prepare access and available information
Provide the address, approximate property size, and any known concerns. Arrange access and permission for the agreed scan areas. Let us know about areas blocked by stored items, landscaping, buildings, or other obstacles. If you have prior tank-removal documents or related reports, tell us before the visit so their relevance can be discussed.

How to interpret the results
An indication from a scan may need further investigation by an appropriate specialist. A sweep cannot guarantee that every concealed tank will be found. It is not a guarantee that the property is free of contamination, and it is not an environmental clearance certificate. Soil testing, excavation, tank removal, remediation, and legal or regulatory review are separate matters that require suitable professionals.
