Wisconsin Underground Storage Tank Inspection & Testing
Based in Jackson, Wisconsin, USTEX LLC performs UST and AST compliance testing for fuel retailers, fleet facilities and municipal sites. When a regulator sets a date or your monitoring equipment raises an alarm, USTEX performs the required field testing and delivers same-day documentation in the format your reviewing agency expects. You deal directly with Doug Metzker, founder, owner and operator of USTEX, who runs the test and signs the report.

The three situations that bring operators to us
Each carries its own deadline and its own first step. Select the one that matches your site.
Your site is red-tagged and cannot sell fuel
An inspector has tagged a dispenser or tank, and it remains out of service until the cited condition is cleared. Every day under the tag is a day of lost revenue.
Your clockRevenue stops until it is liftedDate is comingA compliance deadline is approaching and the testing is not scheduled
An annual test is due, a site anniversary is approaching, or a permit renewal requires documentation you do not yet hold.
Your clockMissing it places the site out of complianceSomething is wrongYour inventory does not reconcile and the cause is unknown
Inventory is short, an alarm keeps recurring, a monitoring well has returned a positive result, or an agency has opened a file on the site.
Your clockReporting windows are short and already runningIndependent testing from the technician who performs the work
Clear measured results, same-day documentation, and no competing claim on your repair or construction scope.
Red tags go to the front of the schedule
Tagged sites are dispatched ahead of all routine testing. Every request receives a same-day response with the scope and price.
The method matched to the rule
DATCP licensed specialty firm working under EPA 40 CFR 280 and applicable state regulations. Testing is scoped to the regulation your inspection cites.
One name from first call to final report
Doug Metzker answers the phone, performs the test and signs the report. No dispatcher, no regional office, no handoff.
Clear measured results, same day
Reports formatted for the reviewing agency, with the method cited to the rule it satisfies and raw data appended rather than summarized.
USTEX tests and documents. Your service contractor keeps the repair and construction scope, and the report goes to whoever you choose to do the work. How the model works.

Questions operators ask before engaging a tester
How often do underground tanks need testing?
- Testing frequency is determined by state regulations, the age of the tank, and the specific system configuration.
- Most jurisdictions mandate annual testing for line leak detectors, alongside periodic tank tightness assessments.
- Send us your site location and inspection notice so we can identify the testing requirements that apply to your facility.
Why does an independent opinion matter?
- An independent assessment ensures objectivity for both the facility owner and regulatory agencies.
- When the same firm conducts the testing and sells the subsequent repairs, it can create a conflict of interest, leading owners to question if the recommended work is truly necessary and agencies to scrutinize the results.
- Providing a strictly independent evaluation eliminates these concerns entirely by removing any financial incentive tied to repair work.
How fast can you get to a red-tagged site?
- If your site is down, please call us immediately so we can prioritize your service.
- We schedule red-tagged sites ahead of all routine testing because a tagged dispenser results in daily revenue loss.
- Routine maintenance is not as time-critical, allowing us to pivot quickly to resolve urgent operational shutdowns.
What does a multi-site program look like?
- Our multi-site program offers a streamlined approach: a unified schedule, standardized documentation, and a single point of contact across all your operational states.
- For operators managing facilities in multiple jurisdictions, this centralized coordination is often more valuable than the testing itself.
- It ensures consistent compliance across an entire portfolio, preventing inspection failures that can occur when individual state regulations slip through the cracks.
