From a phone call to a document a stranger can check.
Eight steps, no surprises. The last two are the ones most testing outfits skip, and they are the reason a tank stays compliant instead of just getting measured.
- 01
You ask
Send the form or call. A person replies within one business day, not an autoresponder pretending to be one.
For a fleet we set up a free compliance review: a short conversation about how many buried tanks you carry, which towns they sit in, and what records already exist. Thin records are normal and they are not a problem to us.
- 02
We build the tank list
Your tanks go into a registry with their address, size, install date, and whatever history exists.
You can hand us a spreadsheet or a stack of paper. We do the entry. From that point the list is maintained, not rebuilt every year.
- 03
We schedule around the tank, not the calendar
Testing is routed by town so a technician covers a cluster in one trip, which is why the price holds.
Where a site contact has asked for it, they get a heads-up before the visit. Nobody has to wait at home all day.
- 04
We test at the tank
Four points around the tank, six when the side points are called for, measured against a copper sulfate reference cell.
A tank is protected at a reading of -0.85 V or more negative. Every reading is photographed, timestamped, and geotagged as it is taken. Nothing is filled in afterward from memory.
- 05
You get a certificate the same day
A dated document with the readings, the photos, the method, and who took it.
It is hash-stamped and immutable. If a correction is ever needed we issue a new version and keep the old one; we never quietly edit a document you have already been given.
- 06
Anyone can verify it without asking us
Every certificate resolves to a public page that confirms it is authentic and unaltered.
Send that link to a supplier, an insurer, a buyer, or their attorney. They confirm it independently. That is the difference between documentation and a claim.
- 07
If it fails, we fix it
A failed reading gets a quote for anodes or a dielectric union, not a shrug and an invoice.
Testing-only outfits hand you a problem. The repair is the part that actually returns the tank to compliance, so we do it.
- 08
We hold the next due date
First retest 12 to 18 months after install, then intervals that never exceed 36 months.
This is the part people get wrong. It is not a flat every-three-years rule, and the drift is where fleets quietly fall out of compliance. We track it and come to you before it lapses.
Do not take our word for it. That is the point.
Below is a certificate this system issued. Open it and the page will confirm whether the record is authentic and unaltered. If anyone ever changed a single reading after issue, that check would fail and say so.

Verify this certificateNo login. Nothing to install. The same link works for your propane supplier, your insurer, or a buyer’s attorney.
There is no fine coming
No state in our service area publishes a penalty schedule for this, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling with fear. The real consequence is a propane company refusing to fill, an insurer asking questions after an incident, and the liability that follows. That is enough.
We do not sell propane
We are an independent third party, so the reading is the reading. We have nothing to gain from a tank passing or failing, which is what makes the document worth something to the person reading it.
We do not dig up your yard to test
A test needs access to the tank area and takes under an hour. Excavation only comes up if the tank fails and needs new anodes, and you would know the cost before anyone starts.
Missing records are normal
Most fleets we meet cannot produce a full testing history, and nobody is in trouble for that. We start from where things actually stand and build forward.
