Why Remove
An Oil Tank?
Don’t let an Oil Tank stop the sale
Underground oil tanks can leak without you knowing. That leak can affect the soil and water under your property — and cost a lot to clean up. Banks and buyers often won’t move forward until it’s removed or tested.
Removing the tank protects your property value and your wallet.
What You’re Likely Facing
Under Contract
& in a Hurry
You’re buying or selling a home—and the clock is ticking. You need fast answers to keep the deal moving.

—and It Leaked

Tank Was Removed
—But Never Tested
The tank is out, but no one checked the soil. You're not sure if it’s clean—or if it could hurt your deal.
