WHAT IS AN OIL TANK SWEEP?

An oil tank sweep with Extra Mile Home Inspection Services uses advanced detection tools to scan a property for the presence of underground storage tanks. Buried tanks can pose environmental hazards, safety risks, and costly removal expenses if they go unnoticed. Locating them before purchasing or selling a home helps protect both your investment and your peace of mind.

This inspection identifies potential tanks or related components hidden beneath the surface, giving homeowners and buyers clear insight into the property’s condition. Every sweep is performed using professional-grade equipment and results are clearly explained, ensuring confidence in your next steps.
