HomeCheck RI utilizes the Ultrasonic tank testing to test your oil tank.
CAUSE OF RESIDENTIAL TANK FAILURES
Corrosion is the singular leading cause of residential oil tank failures. Ultrasonic tank testing is the only means to determine the internal thickness of oil tanks and identify tanks that need to be replaced before they leak or cause major environmental damage.
Added Value
Ultrasonic tank testing evaluates your oil tank and help determine if it is due for a replacement. Home/property owners benefit from proactive testing and knowing what the thickness of the steel is.
Fewer Leaks
Ultrasonic tank testing technology is EPA approved to assess the integrity of an oil tank. You can identify the internal thickness of tanks to determine if they are at risk for a leak before they become a major problem.
Peace of Mind
Gain greater peace of mind. Annual inspections can help identify tanks that need to be replaced before they leak or cause major environmental damage.
The process for ultrasonic testing is based on these EPA and API standards and guidelines.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and American Petroleum Institute (API) approve ultrasonic testing as a method for determining the integrity of fuel oil storage tanks. While these agencies do not currently regulate home heating oil tanks, rather they regulate larger commercial tanks, the methods they approve are directly applicable to home heating oil tanks. In fact, the applications are identical.
