Residential USTs

Homebuyers are becoming more sophisticated about heating oil underground storage tanks. Most know that there is a potential liability for cleanup if there is a UST release, even if they never used the tank. For a minimal charge, CCA will examine whether there is a release before you close on the sale. Depending on your needs, results of our sampling can be obtained within 24 hours to 2 weeks after soil samples are collected. CCA recommends testing around the tank early in the sale process in case a leak is discovered.

CCA is very aware of how important it is to achieve a quick resolution to residential heating oil tanks. Our association with professional tank removers ensures considerate, high quality work at your home or investment property. Should contamination be detected, CCA’s record in getting residential sites closed quickly is exceptional. We have a good working relationship with regulatory authorities and a full understanding of applicable regulations.

The North Carolina Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) trust fund reimburses residential tank owners for all or most of their expenses to clean up a release. The non-commercial fund, which covers assessment and cleanup for nearly all residential tanks, is adequately funded at this time and should remain so in the foreseeable future. CCA can help you apply to the fund and prepare your reimbursement requests. Because of the solvent trust fund and the current regulatory climate, there has never been a better time to remove your residential tank.
