What Happens When an Oil Tank Is Found During Inspection?
Underground storage tanks (USTs) are one of the most expensive and time-sensitive issues found during home inspections, especially in the Northeast where heating oil was standard for decades. If a GPR sweep detects a buried tank, most buyers will not close until the tank is removed, soil is tested, and a DEP closure certification is issued. Contaminated soil can add $5,000 to $50,000+ to the cost. FailedInspectionFix.com connects you with licensed, DEP-certified tank contractors who can expedite the process.
