Oil Tank Leaking & Remediation

If your oil tank is leaking and you need remediation services in Victoria or anywhere on Vancouver Island, make our leaking oil tank removal experts in Victoria your first call!

If you’ve got an old, unused oil tank, chances are that it’s already started to leak, or it will very soon. Don’t ignore it! It’s extremely important to remove your oil tank and deal with any remediation as soon as possible.

As a homeowner, it’s YOUR responsibility to know about any oil tanks on your property. Even if it’s no longer used, it can create hazards which become your responsibility.

How Do I Know If My Oil Tank Is Leaking?

If your tank is above ground — in a basement, or placed in your yard — you can often notice the tank eroding. You might see signs of leaking occurring like a puddle or some drips. Oil has a strong smell, so pay attention if you smell anything strange.

Unfortunately, for buried tanks in your yard, you’ll only notice an oil leak after it has already caused dangerous environmental and health hazards.

Problems which can occur from leaking oil tanks include

• the oil contaminating the ground and soil, including concrete and groundwater
• the oil invading nearby water sources
• other environmental hazards, like causing fires
• major health issues for your family, and the surrounding community

As a homeowner, you’re responsible for the removal and remediation of an old oil tank, and any other environmental or health issues it has caused. If your oil tank is over 10 years old, which is when they often start eroding, or you have an unused tank on your property, it’s vital you get them removed as soon as possible. This will help to prevent leakage and save yourself the trouble of heavy remediation services.
