New Jersey (NJ) Above, Underground Oil Storage Tank Testing<\/h1>\n

Oil tanks are usually maintenance free, however, leaks can occur in the tank, filter and oil line leading to the burner. Leaking filters and line can be easily repaired or replaced; however, repairing a leaking tank is seldom done. Most tanks are replaced. Tanks can be located outdoors underground, outdoors above ground and inside the home.<\/p>\n

Does Every Home Have a Underground Oil Storage Tank?<\/h3>\n

We encourage the client to have a third party service by a licensed and qualified environmental contractor to perform a tank sweep or search prior to closing. Leakage from tanks is usually the result of rusting which occurs due to water in the tank (from condensation). The water settles to the bottom of the tank because water is heavier than oil. This is where most of the rusting occurs. It is best to keep the tank full during summer months to keep condensation to a minimum.<\/p>\n

A NJ home inspection will not investigate or evaluate or locate NJ underground tanks, such as oil, gas or chemical storage tanks, which might be present or locate abandoned tanks. But we can have one scheduled at the same time of the New Jersey home inspection by a licensed environmental contractor.<\/p>\n

NJ Oil tanks have become a major issue considering recent changes to the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act. Usefully it places the responsibility for any discharge of hazardous substance, including heating oil and other petroleum products, past or present, on the owner of the property when discharge is discovered. That responsibility can be reduced or eliminated by performing an adequate oil tank inspection and soil testing in this regard at the time the property is acquired.<\/p>\n

Some Insurance carriers will not insure home with underground storage tanks that have not been tested. for more .
