When purchasing a home, buyers should know of things like buried oil tanks, as many older homes used buried oil tanks for heating. However, sometimes the seller fails to declare an abandoned UST, which is why you must be vigilant and know the telltale or visible signs like disconnected oil lines routed toward the home. But when the seller declares a UST, they must provide documentation to prove proper oil tank decommissioning or removal.

In general, local health and safety boards provide guidelines for how buried oil tanks must be handled. Professional oil tank removal companies must also adhere to the standards to ensure proper underground oil tank removal. When locating undisclosed oil storage tanks, Remediation Rescue begins with assessing the land area. Then, we will start scanning for the underground oil storage tank.

• We will mark the area where the underground oil tank is located, including utility lines that may be hit during the process.
• We will then carefully excavate the ground while avoiding causing damage or creating hazardous leaks.
• Any fuel left in the tank will be siphoned and then sealed in a container for safe and proper disposal.
• Finally, our team will thoroughly clean the tank and residual fuel before investigating the area for any signs of leaks.
