Jeffrey D. McCrary
Previous Owner / VP Operations
From 1984 he began building gas stations at the young age of 16; shoveling pea gravel on construction sites. His curiosity into the testing standards in 1986 moved him yet again to further his UST testing career. Once again in the 1990’s he found another great leap into the management of a UST company. These skills are what have made PS&C a company he is proud to call his own.
Jeff’s knowledge of testing regulations, laws, rules and requirements have brought tremendous customer relations and outcomes to tank owners during state inspections and also in their own personal growth and knowledge of what is required by them. Jeff is always willing to go the extra mile for his customers in ensuring they are not paying for un-needed or required services.
Jeff is co-owner of PS&C, along with his wife Jean McCrary and together they have built PS&C to be a company of integrity and top notch customer service for 20 years!

Containment Integrity
Containment sumps are one of your first protective defenses for pumps, piping and tank tops. These containments consist for UDC(s) & STP(s).
Containment sumps should be water tight, free of breaches and holes, making them durable against allowing product to enter the ground and environment should a leak occur.
Containment sumps serve a variety of functions:
– Containing leaks from submersible turbine pumps and piping components within the sump.
– Collecting and containing leakage from double-walled piping that enters the sumps.
– Containing spills that may occur during maintenance activities associated with components within the sumps.
– Keeping groundwater away from the components with the sumps in areas of high water tables.
– Isolating components from corrosive effects of subsurface moisture and soil.
According to the PEI/RP 900-08 manual there is a checklist that should be performed for containment sumps.
1. Any water or product removed properly
2. Sump is free of cracks, holes, bulges & other defects
3. Penetration fittings are intact and secured
PS&C can perform this check list for you. Our UST-Comp standard operating procedures performs both the visual inspection, as well as, the hydrostatic test for your sumps.
With the new Federal rules containment sump must be tested every three years if you are doing interstitial monitoring on the site.
PS&C has a fleet of small pump trucks to aid in this testing and giving you a cost savings.
Helium
PS&C technicians can “pin-point” the problem saving you thousands of $$$ in excavation cost. This helps you in securing fast repairs and saves you down time and expense.

MLLD(s) and/or PLLD(s) are tested to ensure that the LD passes a 3.0 gallon per hour (GPH) test.

Fuel Treatment Program
The problem of water in tanks is a constant issue. Where did it come from? How did it get into my tank?
Leaving the water can contribute to the harmful growth of bacteria and corrosion that can damage the tanks; but the fuel itself is “DIRTY” can selling to your customers can cause issues.
If your tanks have sediment, ATG probes are “gunked” up and customers complaining of DIRTY fuel; allow our certified and experienced technicians to come out, pull a tank sample and show you what our fuel treatment service can do.
The proof is in the pictures!
With this service, we remove the water from the tank and treat the diesel/gas with cleaning additives. These additives bring all of the sludge/debris to the bottom and our technician will then pump from the bottom of the tank. While on site we also inspect all tank top openings for potential points of water intrusions and make repairs if they are equipped to do so. Below is an example of what a dirty tank looks like before and after our fuel treatment.
