Why Should I Consider Oil Tank Removal Services?
Underground oil storage tanks throughout New Jersey were the norm for heating homes and businesses for generations. However, with the rise of natural gas as an alternate source of fuel for heating purposes, underground heating oil storage tanks are becoming increasingly obsolete. Some legitimate reasons for wanting to remove an underground oil tank, include:
- Environmental Concerns - If not removed, active and inactive (also known as “orphaned”) underground oil storage tanks can create a variety of problems. These problems include contamination to both subsurface soil and groundwater as well as potential impacts to interior home air and potable well water.
- Rust & Corrosion - When metal is combined with moisture and water in soils surrounding the UST itself, the metal comprising the UST itself will start to rust and. If any portion of the tank rusts through, it is possible that the tank’s contents begin to leak into the surrounding soil and groundwater. This “discharge to the environment” can result in an expensive and messy cleanup process for the property owner.
- Selling or Buying a Home – If you are looking to purchase or sell a home, understanding the current state of the property’s oil tank is extremely beneficial in understanding and preparing for the potential issues that may arise during a property transaction should the costs/timeframe for the removal of the tank and soil/groundwater cleanup be required affect the sale of the Property.
