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
