Underground Storage Tank (UST) Scans in Toms River, NJ
We provide professional Underground Storage Tank (UST) scans in Toms River, NJ and surrounding Ocean & Monmouth County communities. Our scans help buyers, sellers, and property owners detect hidden underground storage tanks, including abandoned oil tanks and underground septic tanks, which can pose environmental, legal, and financial risks.
Why UST Scans Are Critical
Underground tanks are often forgotten or abandoned and may not be documented. Discovering an underground oil or septic tank after closing can lead to:
- Soil contamination or hazardous conditions
- Costly removal or remediation
- Legal liability for past owners or current buyers
- Delays in property transfers or redevelopment
Early detection of these tanks protects your investment and ensures compliance with local and state regulations.
What We Inspect
Our UST scans focus on all types of underground tanks, including:
- Abandoned oil tanks: Older homes may have buried heating oil tanks that are no longer in use but still present a risk.
- Septic tanks: Abandoned or unregistered septic systems can cause soil contamination and complicate property use.
- Fuel or chemical tanks: Former commercial properties may have storage tanks from previous uses.
How Our Scans Work
We use advanced ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and industry-approved detection methods to locate underground tanks. Our process includes:
- Surveying the property and reviewing historical records
- Identifying potential tank locations
- Mapping findings with detailed reports
- Providing guidance on next steps if a tank is detected
Potential Implications After Closing
Finding a hidden oil or septic tank after closing can result in:
- Unexpected environmental cleanup costs

Our UST scans help prevent these situations by identifying risks before you finalize your purchase.
