Are you willing to gamble with your health and investment by leaving an unused oil tank on your property?
Over time, home heating oil tanks may accumulate semi-solids, or sludge, that contain harmful contaminants and moisture. Oil tanks that are left dormant with contamination sludge inside can become a serious health hazard to you and your family because of bacterial growth forming within the tank. Additionally, these tanks may begin to leak due to corrosion.
Your home or business represents one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. Why risk it? Eliminate the potential dangers of an abandoned furnace oil tank. The best way to mitigate this risk is by removing any dormant oil tanks.
We recommend removing your abandoned oil tank as soon as possible and informing your insurance company once the removal is complete.
