Underground Oil Tank Removal & Abandonment Services: Protect Your Home from Leaks and Contamination
Many homeowners with underground heating oil tanks are unknowingly at risk. Commonly, these tanks—often similar to the 275-gallon steel tanks seen in basements and garages—were not designed to be buried and, over time, will corrode and leak. Even larger, specially designed underground tanks can still leak if they aren’t adequately protected from corrosion. At A1 Tank Removals & Installations, we have over 35 years of experience in identifying, removing, and properly abandoning underground oil tanks to help homeowners avoid costly environmental damage.
Why You Should Be Concerned About Your Underground Oil Tank
- Corrosion & Leaks:
Underground oil tanks corrode over time, leading to potential leaks that can cause soil and groundwater contamination. Even tanks designed for underground use are at risk if they’re not maintained properly or protected against corrosion. - Hidden Leaks:
A significant increase in heating oil usage is a potential sign of a leak, but this isn’t always an accurate indicator. Leaks may not be noticeable until the tank is full, or in some cases, water may leak into the tank, masking the issue. This can leave homeowners unaware of the problem, increasing the risk of contamination and damage. - Environmental Risks:
Leaking heating oil can damage your property and the environment. If left unaddressed, leaks can lead to costly cleanups, fines, and long-term contamination of soil and groundwater.
