Frequently Asked Questions

Why is soil testing required after oil tank removal in Ann Arbor?

Soil testing after tank removal is required by MI environmental regulations to confirm that the tank did not leak petroleum into the surrounding soil or groundwater. The results protect you legally, satisfy mortgage lenders and title companies, and are required for the closure report filed with the state environmental agency.

What does soil testing involve?

Soil testing involves collecting soil samples from beneath and around the removed tank using a hand auger or hollow-stem auger. The samples are screened on-site with a photoionization detector (PID) for volatile organic compounds and then sent to a state-certified laboratory for analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and BTEX compounds.

How long do soil test results take?

Standard laboratory turnaround is 5–10 business days. Rush results are available in 24–48 hours for an additional fee — useful when a real estate closing deadline is approaching.

What happens if the soil test shows contamination?

If contamination is detected above regulatory action levels, we notify the appropriate state environmental agency as required by law and develop a remediation plan. The extent and cost of cleanup depends on the concentration and spread of the contamination. We manage the entire process and work toward obtaining a No Further Action (NFA) letter.
