Residential Oil Tank Removal Services

"According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, a home with an exterior oil tank older than 15 years or an interior tank older than 20 years will NOT be insured."

The Technical Standards & Safety Authority mandates that all heating fuel suppliers must inspect all oil tanks to which they deliver fuel, whether the oil tank is located above ground or below ground, initially and at least once every 10 years. (Homeowners can visit the T.S.S.A. website for more information about heating oil tanks and furnaces that use heating oil.)

Why You Should Consider Oil Tank Removal:

If your home has an exterior oil tank, interior oil tank, above ground fuel storage tank, underground fuel storage tank or heating oil tank that is no longer in use or more past its service life cycle it MUST be removed from your home. Or perhaps you have an abandoned oil tank just sitting and taking up valuable space in your home, cottage, farm or business. These abandoned fuel oil tanks are at potential risk for a fuel leak and should be properly removed by a company approved by the TSSA and Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP).
