Serving Dresden’s Agricultural Community

We understand the specific needs of "The Town That Canning Built." We specialize in the unique challenges found in rural Chatham-Kent:

  • Farm Fuel Storage: We decommission and remove old diesel and gasoline overhead tanks or skid tanks from barns and machine sheds surrounding Dresden.

  • Cisterns & Well Tanks: We dismantle old concrete or steel water cisterns that are no longer needed after connecting to municipal water or drilling new wells.
