Types of Oil Tanks

Above-ground tanks are easy to see as they’re typically located in basements, crawl spaces, or along the side or back of the home.

Underground tanks aren’t as easy to find, however, because they’re buried and likely have been for many years.

Generally, new houses are built and equipped with more modern heating sources, such as electricity, natural gas, propane, or possibly solar power. Many older houses have also updated their homes to use these modern heating services, leaving their oil tanks unused.

Often, new owners of older homes are unaware of any buried oil tanks, which can be dangerous. So, if you encounter one, you need to hire a service, such as our oil tank removal team in Victoria, to remove your tank from your property.

You can’t ignore the oil tank on your property either. The life of an oil tank is only about 10 years, so chances are it’s starting to corrode. This can cause contamination of the soil, leading to serious environmental impacts. Even small leaks can travel and invade nearby water sources. Contaminated soil can also cause become a fire hazard and pose health risks. Putting the environmental issues aside, the city will likely also fine you for leaks caused by your neglected or abandoned oil tank, and you’ll be responsible for the cleanup and remediation, too. In other words, save yourself future costs and hassle, and call our oil tank removal specialists in Victoria to take care of it for you.
