Storage Tank Removal
We can excavate your underground storage tank or piping and dispose of it, as well as surrounding soil that may become contaminated. As with any toxic substance we remove, we employ licensed carriers who operate in strict compliance with Government Human Safety and Environmental regulations.
Furnaces that are presently fuelled, or were fuelled in the past by oil required an oil storage tank. These tanks were generally located above ground, in basement areas or buried outside near foundation walls. If tanks are present there is potential risk from the tanks themselves or from associated piping.
Buried tanks were used largely in industrial or commercial buildings. However, many larger residential buildings also used underground storage tanks for oil storage. Any buried fuel oil tanks not in use are required to be removed by law. These tanks may pose potentially large and costly environmental problems and represent a large potential liability for owners and architects.
