Why you should remove your dormant Oil Tanks in Burlington

Whether you live in a lakefront estate or a North Burlington farm, an unused oil tank is a "ticking clock" of liability. Dormant tanks can:

  • Corrode Internally: Condensation inside the tank leads to rust, causing pinhole leaks that can release hundreds of liters of fuel without warning.
  • Environmental Liability: Burlington sits near the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario watershed. A leak can quickly contaminate local groundwater, leading to six-figure remediation costs.
  • Insurance Issues: Most Ontario insurance companies will not renew policies for homes with oil tanks older than 20 years, or they may refuse coverage entirely until the tank is removed.
  • Property Sales: Almost all Burlington real estate transactions now require an abandoned oil tank to be removed and documented before the deal can close.

Professional Removal is the Law

In Ontario, the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) mandates that oil tanks be handled by licensed contractors. Professional removal ensures your property is compliant with the Ontario Fire Code and results in the issuance of a Certificate of Tank Removal, your only legal protection against future claims.

Oil Heating Systems in Older Burlington Properties

Burlington has a rich history, with many homes in the Aldershot, Tyandaga, and Downtown areas originally relying on oil heat. Furthermore, many rural properties north of Dundas Street still have aging tanks in basements, sheds, or buried near old outbuildings.

Because many Burlington properties are located near sensitive environmental zones or rely on private wells in the north, even a minor leak is a major emergency. Our team specializes in the delicate removal of tanks from finished basements and tight crawlspaces, ensuring no odors or residues are left behind.
