About Testank

From Startup to Industry Leader:
The TesTank Story

In 1992, when new EPA regulations turned underground storage tank compliance into a critical business necessity, most companies saw complexity and confusion. Dwaine Saltkill saw opportunity—and a chance to make a real difference in environmental protection.

What began as a one-man operation in Midland, Texas, has grown into a trusted multi-state enterprise covering approximately 20% of the U.S. land area across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. With over 40,000 sites tested and relationships spanning three decades, TesTank's story is one of integrity, innovation, and unwavering commitment to doing things right.

This is the remarkable journey of a company built on the simple philosophy: "We are tightness-testers, not leak finders." From early partnerships that continue today to hard-learned lessons that strengthened their resolve, TesTank's story reveals how authentic relationships, honest mistakes openly acknowledged, and consistent excellence create lasting success.

Through corporate acquisitions, technological evolution, and industry changes, TesTank has maintained something increasingly rare in business: genuine partnerships built on trust, performance, and shared values. Their clients don't just hire TesTank—they partner with them, often for decades.
