We handle all the required permitting and reporting for tank decommissioning - saving you time and eliminating the hassle. And by teaming with Seattle Tank Services, we'll assist you with possible insurance coverage for the cost of contaminated soil remediation cleanups including Homeowners Insurance and The Washington State Pollution Liability Insurance Agency (PLIA). Seattle Tank Services is your local heating oil tank company that provides environmental oil tank removal, decommissioning, tank replacement, and soil testing services for both residential and commercial markets.
Many residents use heating oil to heat their homes and, unfortunately, most residential heating oil tanks are 50-70 years old. Track your oil use. If your furnace seems to be using unexpected/unexplained more fuel oil consumption and the weather hasn't justified an increase, your tank may be leaking. Sometimes a tank will contain oil and water, or primarily water (the water will settle to the bottom; the oil will float on top). To check for water, put a small amount of water-reactive paste on the end of a tape measure and insert it into the storage tank.
If a leak has occurred in your home heating oil tank, the oil tank will need to be replaced. To continue using heating oil, a new heating oil tank will be installed either aboveground or underground. Call us and our staff will explain the process step by step and answer all your questions. We will assist you in the process of removing your tank, taking soil samples, site clean-up, and insurance coverage. To help with cleanup costs, Seattle Tank Services is ready to help see if you're eligible for insurance coverage for this work.
