Oil Tank Leak Solutions and Environmental Services
Leaking oil tanks can pose significant environmental challenges for property owners. Luckily, oil spills, also referred to as leaks or releases, are sometimes preventable by performing annual tank testing.
However, when they do happen, the consequences can be severe, including contamination, lingering odors, and potential health hazards and damage to your property and the surrounding environment. Cleanup efforts can also be costly, reaching tens of thousands of dollars.
Understanding Preventing Oil Tank Leaks and Spills
Most properties store heating oil in one of two ways:
- Underground storage tanks, typically located on the property grounds
- Above-ground storage tanks, often found alongside the property, in a garage, or basement
- Regular maintenance and testing of oil tanks can detect leaks before they become more-serious environmental impacts to your property.
When either type of oil tank leaks, the released fuel can seep into the ground and surrounding areas, potentially contaminating groundwater and spreading to neighboring properties.
Oil releases can also impact indoor air quality and threaten nearby drinking water wells.
