01 / TANK SWEEPS & LOCATING

Look for the tank history.

A property may have used heating oil even if it uses another fuel today. Old fill and vent pipes, copper lines, prior permits, and owner records can help focus the investigation.

Share any previous sweep reports or removal documents. The goal is to understand both the physical evidence and the available history.

02 / TANK SWEEPS & LOCATING

Magnetic locating and GPR coordination.

Remedi Tec performs magnetic tank sweeps and coordinates ground-penetrating radar when appropriate. The selected approach depends on the suspected target and site conditions.

Metal objects, reinforced surfaces, utilities, vehicles, and limited access can affect the survey. We identify the areas evaluated and explain meaningful limitations in the findings.

03 / TANK SWEEPS & LOCATING

Understand what the result means.

An anomaly may need additional investigation to identify its source. A sweep does not by itself determine whether a tank leaked or whether soil meets environmental criteria.

If a suspected tank is identified, we discuss locating, exploratory work, removal, or testing as appropriate. For a property transaction, provide the information requested by your buyer, attorney, or lender.

A FEW COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we
get started.

Can a sweep tell if a tank leaked?+

A sweep is a locating service. Evaluating a possible release requires a separate investigation or sampling scope.

What if part of the yard is inaccessible?+

We document access limitations and discuss whether clearing the area or using another method would be useful.

CLEAR SCOPE. DIRECT COMMUNICATION.
