Removing An Oil Tank
An existing underground oil tank can can cause environmental issues on your property. Contamination can escape from cracks and holes developed over time from rust and structural failures. If the oil tank has not already started leaking, it’s only a matter of time before it will. Homeowners are responsible for all costs incurred due to their leaking oil tank. It is imperative to properly abandon or remove an underground oil tank. Old and improperly abandoned tanks can form leaks and contribute to expensive, environmentally hazardous situations.

“When it comes to underground oil tanks, it’s not a matter of IF they will leak – it’s a matter of WHEN.”
Tank Insurance
Do not be misled by fuel oil companies offering underground oil tank insurance. These supposed insurance policies are generally oil tank service plans. These alleged insurance policies have a high deductible and usually require you to use their limited staff of overpriced contractors. They may also require you to have one of their adjusters on site at a cost of several hundred dollars. Some of these policies also require you to stay with their company as a fuel oil supplier for 12 months or more after your oil tank removal. We strongly urge you to research any of these oil tank policies. Contact the alleged tank insurance company directly and ask for specific details regarding these plans before you finalize your purchase decision.
