The Stakes

When Things Go Wrong, Documentation Is Everything

Propane incidents are catastrophic — for families, for communities, and for the companies that can't prove they did their job right. Every record you create today could be the evidence that saves your company tomorrow.

Austin, TX — April 2025

A propane explosion at 10410 Double Spur Loop in northwest Austin destroyed a home and damaged 24 neighboring properties. The blast was heard as far as Georgetown. When investigations begin, the first thing examined is documentation — installation records, safety check histories, and compliance paperwork. Read the full report →

The Problem

4 Reasons Paper Documentation Fails in Court

01

Illegible Handwriting

Judges and juries can't read your technician's handwriting. If they can't read it, they can't verify the work was done. You lose.

02

Lost Records

Paper gets lost, water-damaged, misfiled, or thrown out. When the lawsuit arrives, the records you need are gone. You lose.

03

Incomplete Documentation

Technicians skip fields, miss checks, leave forms half-done. Incomplete documentation is evidence of negligence. You lose.

04

Years of No Records

Many companies haven't properly documented safety work in years. When an incident occurs, there's no trail to prove due diligence. You lose.

The Solution

Automated Safety Compliance That Protects Your Company

TankSpotter doesn't just digitize your paperwork — it actively verifies every job, flags issues in real time, and creates courtroom-ready documentation automatically. Every inspection includes photos, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and digital signatures that hold up under legal scrutiny.

Auto Spot-Checks Every Job

The app automatically checks every job while the tech is doing it. If there's a problem with their work, the tech is told in real-time so they can fix it on the spot.

Instant Management Alerts

When issues are found, management is automatically notified via email with a formal document — photos, GPS coordinates, date/time, and problem description. No waiting until end-of-day.

One-Click Convert to Job

Management reviews the issue and instantly converts it into a dispatched job. Dispatch as an emergency today, or schedule for months from now (off-season maintenance). One click to convert, one click to assign.

Insurance Impact

Your Insurance Is at Stake

After propane incidents, insurance companies revoke coverage or dramatically increase rates. Companies that lose coverage may find it nearly impossible to get re-insured.

TankSpotter is recommended by Aegis Insurance, Nationwide Insurance, eMaxx Assurance Group, and Travelers Insurance. These insurers recognize that digital safety compliance dramatically reduces risk and protects both the company and their policyholders.
