If you are buying , we recommend any underground fuel oil tanks be removed before the contracts are signed.  Most lenders, insurance companies and real estate attorneys will require or recommend it.

If you are selling a home, we recommend removing underground oil tanks and replace them with aboveground oil tanks prior to putting the house on the market. This way if there are any environmental issues you can resolve them.

Underground oil tanks carry a liability of failure. A tank failure can cause oil to leak into the surrounding soil and potentially groundwater. The risk is compounded by not knowing if your oil tank is leaking. A leaking tank is rarely noticeable by usage increase.

Oil Tanks over 25 years old have a higher failure rate. Removing the tank prior to failure can save you aggravation, money and damage to the environment.  If your storage tank has failed, we can provide you full service environmental remediation including soil removal, water disposal, soil testing, etc. We handle everything from permits to inspections, included soil sample results and tank closure documentation.
