The TankSure® Program is a visual inspection and ultrasonic test of above ground residential fuel oil storage tanks. The test uses an EPA approved technology to determine the integrity of the tank. TankSure® Trained Service Providers conduct the test which only takes about fifteen minutes. The test is normally conducted during an annual tune-up of the heating system but Inspections by Bob can perfrom the test durring your home inspection for a nominal additional charge.

The TankSure® Program is the only testing and inspection process for residential above ground oil tanks using an EPA approved technology. The ultrasonic process is non-invasive and can be conducted in about fifteen minutes. The TankSure® Program has been designed to offer homeowners with oil heat systems a proactive inspection, testing, and tank replacement process.

Insurance Industry Support
The TankSure® Program is endorsed by the Insurance Industry and in most states homeowners that have had the TankSure® test and inspection will receive discounts on their residential homeowner’s policies. Note: Some insurance companies will not insure a home with an uncertified oil tank and may insist on immediate replacement.
