Find out what's buried at the property — in ten seconds
A buried fuel tank or an old leak can stall a sale, scare a lender, or stick you with a cleanup bill. This screen checks your exact address against EPA's national tank registry — 741,380 registered tank sites and 529,159 known leaks — and gives you the answer in ten seconds. Every line links to the official government record.
EPA data vintage 2024-12-04 screen — not an ESA
This is a screen of EPA-registered tank and leak records, not an environmental site assessment. State registries are incomplete by design: tanks removed before 1986 and most residential heating-oil tanks were never registered, so a clean screen cannot prove the absence of a tank. "Closed" means a tank was taken out of service per the registry — it does not certify that no contamination remains.

Why check now instead of waiting for the bank
- The full alternative costs $2,000–$4,500 and takes 2–3 weeks. Before lending on a property with possible tank history, banks require a professional site assessment from an environmental firm (a "Phase I"). This $49 screen tells you in ten seconds whether tank history will be its headline — before you've spent the money or signed the contract.
- A leak that's still being cleaned up near the property changes the negotiation. It's public record — the only question is whether you find it before or after you're committed.
- "The old tanks were closed" is a question, not an answer. "Closed" is a paperwork status; the soil often wasn't tested. The screen shows when each tank was closed and how it was built, so your consultant starts smart.
What a screen honestly can't do
- It can't see unregistered tanks (pre-1986 removals, most residential heating-oil tanks). Physical confirmation is a tank sweep (~$125–$400, cited in every report).
- It can't certify contamination status — only sampling can.
- It can't replace the Phase I your lender requires. It makes that money better spent.
