Tri-County Oil Tank Sweep, LLC

A Message from Tri-County Oil Tank Sweep, LLC – Environmental oil spills or soil contamination is not typically something your thinking about when looking into purchasing a new home. In fact, you may never have heard of an Oil Tank Sweep. It is estimated in the state of New Jersey alone, there are still thousands of undisclosed underground heating storage tanks that may be leaking underground. These Oil Tanks are typically anywhere from 275 gallons to 1000 gallon tanks. Many of these tanks that are buried have rusted and corroded leaving oil to leak into the soil. Some of these tanks are then left to leak into wells or streams creating a major environmental hazard. Its estimated that if an Oil Tank is in the ground for more then 15 years it has close to a 50% chance of leaking and many of these tanks were installed and buried over 30 years ago. Once discovered, the home owner is responsible for the clean up. Most homeowners are completely unaware they are responsible for a clean up which can cost well over $15,000 and must be reported immediately to the NJDEP upon discovering. Therefore, to protect yourself, its in your best interest to have an Oil Tank Sweep in NJ done by the professionals at Tri-County Oil Tank Sweep, LLC.
