This oil tank search checklist helps home inspectors and environmental technicians evaluate properties for evidence of underground storage tanks. It covers interior and exterior visual checks for fuel lines, fill and vent pipes, burner shutoff switches, chimney and panel observations, and other indicators of prior oil use. The workflow guides an electronic perimeter sweep within 30 feet of the structure up to 4 feet deep, and records any detected objects and site limitations such as patios, driveways, decks, or dense vegetation. It includes clear next steps, from municipal records requests to targeted investigations, excavation, and soil sampling when contamination is suspected.
