What Tank Integrity Services does

Tank Integrity Services, Inc. (T.I.S.) is a privately held petroleum industry compliance services company founded in 1989 and headquartered in North Royalton, Ohio. The company specializes in underground storage tank (UST) and aboveground storage tank (AST) testing, leak detection, and regulatory compliance management for petroleum operators including gas stations, fuel storage facilities, and petroleum marketers. Service coverage spans five states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia, with nationwide operational claim.

The company's core technical offering centers on two proprietary tank tightness testing methods: the UST2000 ultrasonic underfill system, which measures sound wave travel time through petroleum products to detect fluid level changes, and the Alert 8200 load cell system, which applies Archimedes' Principle via a patented glass probe to measure buoyancy-based mass change. Additional services include helium-based leak pinpointing, Stage II vapor recovery testing, cathodic protection testing, line tightness testing, interstitial and sump testing, statistical inventory reconciliation, and ATG certification. All test methods exceed U.S. EPA standards and are third-party approved. The company holds state certifications in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and technicians maintain API-510, API-570, and API-653 credentials alongside multiple equipment manufacturer certifications.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees for on-site tank testing, inspection, and compliance documentation. The company operates a direct field service model with technicians conducting on-site inspections at customer petroleum facilities, supported by a web-based Online Reports platform for digital report delivery. A partnership with UST Training extends the portfolio into online Class AB/C UST operator training. The company has been continuously operating for 35+ years with no external funding rounds, no disclosed acquisitions, and no parent company ownership.
