LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (LUST) REMOVAL & REMEDIATION:

The most common way that an underground storage tank (UST) can leak is that if the UST is made of steel which is likely to corrode when exposed to groundwater for a period of time. Inadequate installation and faulty maintenance can also cause USTs to leak. Leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) can present a hidden risk to properties given that the tanks are often buried and hard to access. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) meticulously monitors USTs due to the fact that LUSTs can introduce a contaminant into the groundwater supply that many people in the United States rely on for drinking water.

VET Environmental is dedicated in providing LUST removal services, and analytical testing to determine the extent of soil and groundwater contamination.

Testimonials

“I highly recommend VET Environmental Engineering , a locally owned environmental engineering and consulting firm, to solve and remediate any complex site or situation.
They procured appropriate permits and locate calls before work began.
The company performed the removal of two, 2,000 gallon underground fuel tanks from my residential property. This involved removing residual fuel and sludge from the tanks, removing the tanks from tight spaces near all underground utilities and hauling and disposing of these properly.
They then removed soil from the pits where some leakage had occurred until a clean area was reached. They took test samples as required by law and disposed of all these hazardous materials appropriately.
They brought clean fill dirt and smoothed the site, again in very tight quarters for the size of their equipment. They even swept the driveway around 4 roll off dumpsters of contaminated soil. All workers and contractors were friendly, professional and hardworking, not the least of whom was Sara Hamidovic, President, who supervised every move of the project.
They then provided me with a complete report with results of soil sampling showing that the site was appropriately remediated.
I fully and wholeheartedly recommend VET Environmental as an honest, thorough and professional company.”
