Union County Oil Tank Removal

If you’re a Union County home owner seeking to sell, it’s important to confirm that the land on your property is safe and uncontaminated. And if you’re a potential homebuyer, ask about buried oil tanks on the properties you view. At ERC Environmental, LLC, we work with both buyers and purchasers to ensure that the property at issue is thoroughly inspected to identify the presence of underground oil tanks and any contamination. When tank removal is necessary, our professionals are equipped to skillfully and safely take care of the problem.

Union County Buried Oil Tanks

Many properties in Union County, like in most of the state, still have underground oil tanks. This is largely a concern for older residences and businesses that used bare steel fabrication oil tanks for heating several decades ago. This material has weathered poorly over the past several years.

Basic 275-gallon steel tanks were commonly used to store oil for heating in the 1960’s through the 1980’s. At the time, storing these tanks underground didn’t seem to pose any immediate hazards. Now, years later, the ensuing rust and corrosion has revealed the flaw in that practice.

Slow oil seepage to large leaks are common occurrences with these old tanks, causing soil contamination on the properties of unaware owners. Soil type, moisture, and tank design are all factors that contribute to oil tank leakage. But, essentially, it’s almost impossible to determine beforehand whether an intact oil tank will leak, and if so, how much. This makes prevention the best option, which is best effected by removal of the tank.
