Why you should remove underground oil tank

Abandoned or leaky underground fuel tanks can pose serious risks to your health and property. These tanks can:

  • Contaminate soil and water: Leaks can make soil toxic and potentially violate environmental standards.
  • Cause unpleasant odors: Even small fuel leaks can produce strong, disturbing smells around your property.
  • Risk groundwater contamination: Hazardous chemicals can pollute drinking water and create dangerous vapor build-ups.

Many older tanks were made of carbon steel and are prone to corrosion, which can lead to leaks. These leaks can cause significant environmental damage and costly repairs. At Eco Metal Recycling Inc., we specialize in the safe removal of these tanks, helping you avoid contamination, health risks, and fines.
