Underground oil tanks, once a popular option for home heating, are now considered a significant liability for many homeowners. They pose potential environmental risks, can leak hazardous materials into the soil, and may require expensive cleanup efforts. If you have an old underground oil tank, the safest and most cost-effective solution is to have it professionally removed and replaced. Energy Unlimited offers a comprehensive, hassle-free service for underground oil tank removal and replacement, ensuring your home is safe and compliant with all environmental regulations.
Here’s how Energy Unlimited handles the process, from start to finish:
Initial Assessment and Consultation
The first step in removing an underground oil tank is conducting a thorough assessment of the situation. Energy Unlimited provides a free consultation to evaluate your tank and property. This assessment includes identifying the location of the tank, determining its size, age, and condition, and checking for any signs of leakage or contamination.
This evaluation is essential to develop a safe and efficient removal plan. During this stage, Energy Unlimited will discuss all the potential risks, the cost of removal, and whether remediation will be necessary if there is any environmental damage. At this point, the team will also help you explore replacement options if you’re transitioning to a new tank or upgrading to a more energy-efficient heating system.
Safe and Professional Underground Oil Tank Removal
The next phase is the physical removal of the underground oil tank. Energy Unlimited’s technicians follow strict safety protocols and are fully licensed and insured for oil tank removals. They use state-of-the-art equipment to minimize any disruptions to your property and ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Here’s an overview of how the removal process works:
- Excavation: The area where the tank is located will be carefully excavated. Energy Unlimited ensures that minimal damage is done to your yard or landscape during this process. The depth and positioning of the tank are thoroughly mapped out before excavation begins.
- Tank Cleaning and Decommissioning: Once the tank is exposed, it must be emptied of any remaining oil. Energy Unlimited uses specialized equipment to safely pump out any residual oil and sludge, which is then disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations. The tank is then cleaned, making it safe for removal.
- Tank Removal: After the tank is cleaned and decommissioned, it is carefully extracted from the ground. If the tank is damaged or leaking, the team takes additional precautions to prevent any further contamination during the removal.
- Soil Testing and Remediation: One of the key aspects of underground oil tank removal is ensuring that the soil around the tank has not been contaminated by any leaks. Energy Unlimited conducts thorough soil testing to check for signs of oil seepage. If contamination is found, the company will carry out remediation services to clean and restore the affected area. This ensures that your property is safe and compliant with environmental standards, avoiding potential fines or penalties.
Replacement with a New Oil Tank or Heating System Upgrade
Once the old underground oil tank has been safely removed, Energy Unlimited provides options for replacing the tank or upgrading your home’s heating system. If you still prefer to use oil for heating, they can install a new above-ground tank. These tanks are much easier to maintain and monitor, reducing the risk of future leaks or environmental hazards.
For homeowners looking to upgrade to a more energy-efficient system, Energy Unlimited also offers alternatives such as heat pump systems and mini-splits. These systems provide year-round heating and cooling while significantly lowering energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
