Keeping Your Business Compliant—And Your Tanks Trouble-Free.
OUR STORY
Every underground tank has a story. And so do we.
Back in 2010, we noticed a problem. Petroleum companies, gas stations, and commercial operators were constantly playing catch-up with inspections, compliance rules, and the fine print of state and federal regulations. The industry was drowning in red tape—and no one seemed to be offering real support with boots on the ground.
So we built US Tanx to change that.
Not just another environmental compliance company, but a team that actually shows up, knows the ins and outs of the job, and treats your tanks—and your time—with the respect they deserve.
Meet the Team Behind the Tanx
We’re not suits behind a desk—we’re a boots-on-the-ground team of technicians and inspectors with real-world experience in UST testing, removal, and compliance.
We don’t overpromise or underdeliver—we show up, get it done right, and keep it honest. Because when it comes to safety and compliance, there’s no room for shortcuts.
WHY WE STARTED
We started US Tanx for one reason:
To make environmental compliance easy to understand and even easier to manage.
We’ve been in the field. We’ve handled the mess. We know what it’s like to be on the other end of an inspection with your reputation—and revenue—on the line.
And we knew the industry needed a partner, not just a provider.
WHERE WE ARE NOW
What started as a small operation in Tennessee has grown into a trusted name across the Southeastern U.S.
We now serve hundreds of clients—from mom-and-pop gas stations to large-scale commercial operators—providing:
-
SP001-certified tank inspections
-
Monthly compliance
-
Tank removal
-
Pre-inspection services
-
Environmental reporting
… and more.
And thanks to our loyal clients and word-of-mouth referrals, we’re still growing.
