Oil Tank Removal

An ancient, dormant oil tank may be located in the basement of an older house, even if an operational tank is linked to the house from the exterior. If this is the case in your home, you may be concerned about the safety of your unused tank. The indoor tank probably wasn't all that great, to begin with. Older basement oil tanks were often poorly constructed and fitted. This led to a lot of premature tank failures. As a consequence, homeowners have chosen to replace their old outside units with more modern ones.

Benefits of Oil Tank Removal

If you have an unused oil tank in your basement, having it removed and disposed of will benefit you in the long run. While it's likely that an unused tank in your building has been drained of its fluid, that doesn't guarantee the tank is totally dry. As it turns out, there is no such thing as a truly empty tank in the real world. Potentially dangerous residues of liquid and sludge are left behind by the decomposition process. Condensation from an indoor oil tank must be drained into an inline filter in order to avoid corrosion of the tank's inside. Storage space is likely being taken up by an unused oil tank, and a dormant tank's harmful effects may also damage the quality of basement-stored goods.

Safe Removal

After being removed from its original location, an old oil tank is brought to an environmental facility where the inside is cleaned and the oil sludge removed before the tank can be disposed of. Keeping a current list of local town and city permit costs is always a priority for us. Before we begin any work on your project, we will get any permits that are required by your town or city. All environmental standards are observed, and all further safety precautions are taken, including the use of authorized personal protective equipment, stringent safeguards, and safety measures for our staff, your family, and the surrounding landscape.

Removal Process

The first step is to remove any residual oil from the old tank, which is done by our professionals. We next cut the old heating oil tank open to clean out and remove the remaining old oil and muck from the tank's bottom. We guarantee that all old vent and fill pipes are removed meticulously and efficiently. We can also use cement or silicone caulking to fill gaps in the foundation caused by old pipes if necessary. The final and most critical step is to gently remove the old fuel barrel from the site and transport it to a licensed salvage facility.
