Frequently Asked Questions

What UST testing does Alabama require?

Alabama follows the federal 2015 UST rule administered by ADEM: spill prevention and overfill equipment testing every 3 years, annual release detection equipment testing, walkthrough inspections every 30 days, and cathodic protection surveys every 3 years for steel systems. Records must be kept and produced at inspection.

What happens if my tanks are out of compliance?

ADEM inspectors can issue notices of violation with civil penalties, and non-compliant tanks can be red-tagged — meaning fuel distributors are prohibited from delivering to them until the violation is cleared. For a gas station, a red tag is a revenue stop, not paperwork.

Who needs this besides gas stations?

Truck stops, fleet yards with fuel islands, municipal and school-district fueling sites, hospitals with generator fuel tanks, airports, and marinas — any regulated underground tank in the state.

Do you handle the paperwork?

Yes. Every test produces a report formatted for ADEM requirements, delivered to you (and your jobber if requested), and we calendar the next deadline so a missed date never becomes a violation.

How fast can you get to a site?

Standard scheduling runs on route density through Birmingham, Huntsville, and the I-65 corridor. Deadline or violation situations move to the front — tell us the date on your notice.

Can you take over from an out-of-state tester?

Yes. Much of Alabama has been serviced by testers routed out of Georgia, Tennessee, or Florida with long scheduling windows. A local calendar is the entire point of this company.

Do you test aboveground tanks too?

Yes — AST inspections and integrity testing are available; ask when you call.
