Likelihood of Leakages from USTs
Pollard Environmental has inspected over 6,000 USTs (both in-use and out-of-use), and over 70% were found to be leaking. The vast majority of these inspections have been pursuant to real estate transactions. We believe this percentage is representative of residential and farm USTs in Virginia installed prior to 1975 (i.e., USTs approaching 50 years of age).
