Leave it to the Experts: Oil Tank Detection and Oil Tank Removal in Vancouver


Do you suspect there may be a derelict oil tank buried on your Vancouver property? Have you noticed evidence of seepage or pollution? Is there a patch on your lawn where grass no longer grows? It may be time to call in the professionals.

Depending on how long you have resided on your property you may or may not be familiar with its history. Up until the 1970s it was common for houses in North and West Vancouver to be heated using underground oil tanks. With the introduction of piped gas, these tanks became obsolete but many were never properly decommissioned or removed. Over a thousand tanks still lie buried. Today many professional and civil authorities are dedicated to oil tank removal in Vancouver.
