Oil Tank Removal – Where to Start

A surprisingly high number of Vancouver based residential property owners have a buried, or semi-concealed oil tank somewhere on their property. Unfortunately, for the majority of these property owners, they may not be aware of this fact before purchasing their home. Because many out of commission oil tanks are buried underground on a property, it can be difficult to detect their presence with the naked eye. However, giveaway signs such as leakage of oil into the local environment, or a lack of grass, or plant growth in a certain patch of land can often lead to the discovery of concealed tanks.

So, what is the next step, once you have discovered an old oil tank on your property? According to Vancouver municipal laws, landowners are entirely responsible for the safe removal and disposal of disused oil tanks, and therefore you should always take immediate action.

On a positive note, Oil tank removal does not have to be a pain – there are some excellent and professional companies offering effective and affordable oil tank removal services around the Greater Vancouver area. By contacting an oil tank removal company, like West Coast Tank Removal, you are taking the first step to ensuring that your property and the local environment are safe and free of the risk of dangerous contamination.

Oil tank removal services offer scanning services to pinpoint the precise location of the oil tank on your property, followed by 100% safe removal of the oil tank itself. Once the tank has been lifted from the soil, the oil tank removal company will be able to responsibly dispose of the tank, so that it does not affect its surrounding environment. They can also offer backfilling services to make sure that your lawn looks as good as new.

Oil tank removal is essential and it doesn’t have to be the ordeal you imagine it to be.
