Above Ground Tanks
Do you have an old oil tank sitting on your property? Remove it safely with our oil tank removal team in Victoria!
If you’ve recently switched or are considering switching over to solar heating, or electric, natural, or propane gas, you won’t be needing your oil tank any longer.
Your unused oil tank may be sitting in the back of your basement, a crawl space you don’t use, or in a corner of your yard, and you likely don’t even notice it anymore.
But don’t continue to ignore it!
Old Oil Tanks Must Be Removed from Your Property as Soon as Possible!
You may think that since your old oil tank doesn’t take up too much space and isn’t in your way, you may as well just leave it there – but don’t!
There’s a myriad of reasons why all old oil tanks need to be removed from your property:
- Oil tanks can start to decompose after only 10 years
- Leaking oil can quickly contaminate the ground below, including concrete
- Contaminated soil can lead to potential fire hazards, environmental issues, and health risks
- Contaminated soil can seep into nearby water sources
- You’ll likely be held financially responsible for any environmental damage done, as well as for the cleanup and remediation
- Your insurance or home sale agreement may require you to remove it
Your oil tank may seem fine, but if it’s more than 10 years old, it’s likely preparing to leak and, therefore, requires immediate attention and removal to minimize any environmental and health damage.
