At Greene Environmental Services, we understand that detecting a leaking tank can be difficult, especially when there are no observable indications. However, there are some common signs that may indicate a leaking tank. Here are a few to look out for:
- Petroleum odors in drinking water
- Petroleum odors in basement or crawlspace
- Increased fuel consumption
- Frequent furnace misfires
- Water in the fuel
- Frequent service calls
- Dead or dying vegetation near the tank
- Oily sheen on soils or standing water
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Some tanks can leak with no observable indication. Therefore, regular inspections and maintenance are critical to identifying and preventing leaks. If you suspect that your tank may be leaking or if you have any concerns about the condition of your tank, contact Greene Environmental Services today.
