Why you should remove your dormant Oil Tanks in Acton

In Acton and throughout Halton Hills, homeowners are increasingly switching to natural gas or heat pumps, leaving old oil tanks behind. While they may seem harmless, these dormant tanks are a significant risk:

  • Environmental Liability: Metal tanks rust from the inside out due to moisture and condensation. Even if you think the tank is empty, "sludge" at the bottom can leak into the soil. In Acton, where many properties rely on local groundwater and proximity to sensitive ecosystems, a leak can lead to massive cleanup costs and environmental damage.
  • Insurance Complications: Most major insurance providers in Ontario will not provide or renew coverage for homes with oil tanks older than 15–20 years. A dormant tank is considered a "high-risk" feature, and if a leak occurs, your policy may not cover the remediation.
  • Real Estate Hurdles: You will find it nearly impossible to sell a home in Acton with an abandoned underground tank. Mortgage lenders and buyers now require a TSSA-certified removal and a clean soil report before they will finalize a sale.
  • Legal Requirements: According to the Ontario Fuel Oil Code, any underground tank that has been out of service for more than 12 months must be removed. Above-ground tanks that are no longer in use must also be decommissioned by a licensed professional.
