Misconceptions
Cary, NC
Sensible Solutions investigated the possibility of the presence of a UST on the owner's property in March 2008. The home inspector reported a pipe sticking up behind the house and under the deck. Mr. Hosler probed the ground in the vicinity of the pipe, finding no evidence of a storage tank. No petroleum odors were evident when the unusual cap was removed from the pipe. The tile probe hit soft, clay-rich dirt when inserted into the pipe. The soil on the end of the probe had a clean, earthy odor. The furnace area and basement of the house were inspected for signs of fuel oil usage and none were found. While inspecting the plumbing beneath the kitchen sink, Mr. Hosler noticed that the connection of the sink drain to the drain pipe matched the suspect pipe cap connection. Above the suspect pipe, a hole had been cut in the deck floorboard. Because the suspect pipe was located so close to the foundation of the house, right below the hole in the deck, and adjacent to the outside wall of the kitchen, it was speculated that the suspect pipe had at one time been connected to a gray-water drain from the kitchen. Mr. Hosler also located the builder of the house and learned that the home had originally been heated with an electric system.

The UST was located to the left of the pressure washer. When the job was complete, no one could tell that any work had been done that day, except for a few wilted plants along the walk, which fully recovered in a day or two.
