Residential Oil Tank Removal

Home & Commercial Fuel Oil Tank Removal

Oil storage solutions have changed dramatically over the past 70 years. The standard single-walled tank is no longer viable and is being replaced with double walled, double bottomed and fibreglass solutions. By code, any fuel oil tank removal must be done when the premises changes the form of energy used for heating i.e. from oil to natural gas, or when the tank is no longer needed i.e. as a fuel source for a pool heater. Also, before a property changes ownership, ANY unused fuel tank must be removed, or if the tank is in use and is over ten years old, it must be replaced.
