SES removing a petroleum storage tank
It is the law and is critical that you safely remove leaking tanks to protect our environment.

SES has inspected, removed and installed thousands of above and underground petroleum storage tanks since 1992. We specialize in serving individual home-owners, small convenience stores, farms and medium sized petroleum companies. SES employs several approved methods to determine the integrity of the tank depending on the site conditions and other factors. Most of our clients who are purchasing real estate with underground petroleum storage tanks are equally interested in three things:

  • Is the integrity of the existing tank suitable?
  • What is the possibility of a leak in the future?
  • Is there any evidence of contamination?

Even if the existing tank is tight, significant contamination can occur from over-fill or spillage during filling. Another concern is that there was a leak from a previous tank in the same location that was ignored when the current tank was installed.
