Leaking fuel can cause ecological damage requiring excavation of the tank and certified teams to decontaminate the soil. These costs fall on the owner of the property whether it was your tank or there when it was purchased.

Neglecting to conduct a fuel tank survey can lead to several costly risks, including:

  • Excavation Costs: The tank may be located under hard-to-reach areas such as cement, driveways, landscaping, or in the crawlspace. Removing and later replacing these materials after excavation can be extensive and expensive.
  • Soil Contamination: If the tank has leaked, treating the contaminated soil becomes necessary. This process is not only costly but may also require environmental permits and professional remediation services.

  • Legal and Compliance Issues: Failing to identify and address leaks can lead to violations of environmental laws, potentially resulting in hefty fines and legal fees.

  • Long-term Property Damage: Undetected leaks can cause long-term damage to surrounding infrastructure and reduce property value, leading to significant financial losses when selling the property.
