Underground oil tanks have been utilized for over 60 years in Vancouver. Over the past few decades, the majority of homeowners in Vancouver have switched to other heating methods that are more friendly to the environment, like propane or electric. The biggest problem with aging tanks is the environmental risk that the tank will decay and oil will leak from the tank into the earth around it, causing major damage. In some cases, underground oil tanks need to be removed because the homeowner is aware of the dangers and wishes to change to a safer above ground alternative.
These underground oil tanks were not constructed to last for over thirty years, so nowadays in Vancouver, removing underground tanks has become an urgent problem for some homeowners. Eventually these tanks all begin to break down and degenerate, and then the soil around them becomes toxic due to oil leaks. This is making oil tank removal in Vancouver so very critical for many Vancouver homeowners.
Rusting underground tanks and poorly maintained or defective heating systems are the main source of fuel oil leaks and spills. For a property management company or homeowner, the environmental impact made by a leak will result in a hefty clean-up cost.
Removing the Tank is Mandatory and it's cost-effective:
Thousands of dollars could be saved. Since a home's foundation could be damaged, cleaning an affected site could be from 10 to 250 thousand dollars, but to remove an old oil tank only runs somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000.
After the tank removal, your home insurance premiums could be reduced. As a tank ages, the amount of corrosion increases; because of this, an insurance provider will investigate carefully before issuing a home insurance policy. There are thousands of tanks that are reaching their limit in age, and that means that thousands of homeowners may not be protected by their insurance company until removal of the tank is completed. If those with older tanks actually manage to get insurance, it will probably cost 3 or 4 times more than they would pay after a tank removal.
There won't be any issues with selling an older house. Before putting a house up for sale, have an inspection done on either your underground, or your above ground fuel tank. Once the tank is removed from the property, any potential future hazards will be avoided, and the previous seller will have no possible liability.
