Petroleum Tank Inspection in Fairfax County VA: Causes of Tank Leaks and Spills

Many home heating oil leaks or spills could be prevented if there is a petroleum tank inspection conducted at your Fairfax County VA home to catch and fix them in a timely manner. These include:

  • Leaking brass oil line fittings at the bottom of the tank
  • In-tank corrosion (caused by water and contamination, and can be seen during inspection)
  • External rust, due to external tank damage or leaks at the piping connections
  • Corrosive soils or damage to the tank that occurred during placement
  • Piping leaks above or below ground
  • Delivery oil spills
  • Inadequate fill or vent pipe diameter
