Why you should remove your dormant Oil Tanks in Brantford

In Brantford’s competitive real estate market, an old, abandoned, or unused oil tank is a major liability. Dormant tanks can:

  • Develop internal corrosion: This leads to sudden fuel leaks that can seep through basement floors or into the soil.
  • Environmental Liability: Leaks can contaminate soil and groundwater, leading to cleanup costs that often exceed the value of the property.
  • Insurance Barriers: Most insurers in Ontario will cancel or refuse coverage for homes with oil tanks older than 15–20 years.
  • Real Estate Obstacles: Most property transfers in Brantford cannot be finalized until an abandoned oil tank is removed and professionally documented.

Professional Removal is the Law

Oil tanks in Ontario must be removed by a licensed, approved contractor to ensure compliance with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Professional removal ensures the issuance of a Certificate of Tank Removal, which is your only legal proof that the hazard has been eliminated.

Oil Heating Systems in Older Brantford Properties

Many historical homes in Brantford’s core, as well as rural farm properties on the outskirts of the city, were originally heated with oil before natural gas infrastructure was fully established. Consequently, unused tanks are frequently discovered in basements, crawlspaces, detached garages, or buried near old farm outbuildings.

Because many outlying Brantford properties rely on the Grand River watershed or private well water, even a small oil leak is an emergency. Aging tanks located near foundation footings or agricultural land increase the risk of environmental impact. Our team specializes in navigating these sensitive environments to ensure your land remains clean and compliant.
