Why Choose ATS for Tank Testing?

Test results are available on-site:  Our sophisticated testing technology can often evaluate the underground tank & system in 90 minutes or less.

Up against a tight deadline?  Don't worry! If necessary, we can dispatch our environmental testing personnel immediately after calling for an appointment.

We do not remove or repair tanks:  We are only in business of testing them.  This avoids any potential conflict of interest from performing both evaluation and repair/remediation work. 

Test methods:  We offer the Digital Mesa 2-D Test System, which is our preferred method of testing.  ATS also offers the Alert 1000/1050 tank test system which may be employed at certain locations.

Our test methods are superior to the competition: Learn more about our Mesa 2-D Test & our Alert 1000/1050 test & see for yourself.

Advantages of using ATS for tank testing

Distinguish leaks in vent/fill pipes from leaks in tanks:  Our computerized testing technology system will identify vent/fill pipe leaks from tank leaks. Other companies using tank tests without this feature may recommend removing a whole tank from the ground when only a minor inexpensive piping repair is required. 

State & Federal Certifications:  All our testing processes are federal and state approved test methods for evaluating underground tanks.  In addition, our company holds current licenses in several counties, states and cities.

Tank Testing- Frequently Asked Questions

Will tank testing damage my tank?

bullet

No, ATS' state of the art testing technology will not harm the underground tank.  Years ago, many companies used air pressure testing as a means to evaluate underground tank systems.  This type of testing could potentially damage the tank and associated piping.  Today, strict pressure testing is not an approved test method in most states.

My oil company performed a water test and their representative concluded the tank does not have a problem.  Do I need to test the tank using another test method?

bullet

Absolutely yes! Underground tanks may leak without ever taking on water.  It is possible that a tank located in a dry area may have holes and water may never enter the tank because the water table is far deeper than the buried tank.  Also, finding water in a tank may not indicate a tank failure.  Often, water can enter the tank through small leaks in the vent pipe or fill pipe.  Vent or fill pipe problems are easily repaired.

Tips for choosing a testing contractor

Insurance:  Be sure to scrutinize your testing contractor's insurance. Ask for an insurance certificate & call the insurance agency to verify the policy is valid. We know of several instances where tank testing contractors are operating without valid liability insurance policies.

Avoid outdated testing technology:     Many inferior tank test systems rely solely on the test operator listening through headphones to determine whether there is a leak.  Our Digital Mesa 2-D technology is completely computer controlled which allows for precise analysis of test results.
