The MDleak® and MCleak® Testing Methods developed by <br />Leak Detection Technologies is the most versatile and flexible testing method in today’s market. Owners <br />and contactors require quick and accurate results that can only be found by using the MDleak® and <br />MCleak® testing method. <br /> <br />California requires the industries best available technology to test their Underground Storage Tanks <br />(UST). These regulations help make California one of the nation’s cleanest states from uncontrolled UST <br />releases. <br /> <br />Standard technologies such as pressure testing cannot detect or locate small leaks to California’s <br />standards. Because small leaks can go undetected MDleak® and MCleak® pretesting should be completed <br />before the final backfilling process is started. <br /> <br />We have completed a check list of expectation to guide the contractor and help make the site personnel as <br />successful as possible. <br /> <br />Scheduling: <br />1. LDT offer services throughout California. Therefore, it is important that you schedule with us <br />before the time the tank pit excavation begins. <br />2. Early scheduling makes for an on-time arrival of our crews. <br />3. Contact LDT approximately 30 to 45 days before work is to begin with a tentative start date. Late <br />notification with LDT can result in delaying the testing do to late scheduling capabilities. <br />4. Once we have the site scheduled, we will contact the contractor by phone two weeks before the <br />scheduled arrival date to confirm the starting date and again at one week out. Phone 855-255-5325 <br />ext. 4, or Operations@LeakDetect.net <br /> <br />Timing: <br />1. The State requires the fueling system to be completed before ELD testing can begin. <br />2.
