Oil Tank Removal

If you have an old oil tank in your basement or on your property, it’s crucial to understand the regulations and procedures for its removal. In Connecticut, the removal of above-ground oil tanks, such as those in basements, does not typically require a permit and can be done once the oil tank lines have been disconnected by a plumber or mechanical contractor. However, underground oil tanks, which involve more complex safety and environmental considerations, must be removed by a licensed contractor with a permit.

Anthony's Abatement specializes in the safe and efficient removal of above-ground oil tanks. We ensure that potential environmental hazards are mitigated, and your property remains safe. Whether you’re upgrading to a different heating source or need to clear out an unused tank, you can trust our experience and dedication to providing top-quality oil tank removal services.

Above-ground oil tanks, often found in basements, are typically easier to access and remove, posing fewer risks during extraction. These tanks do not generally require permits for removal, making the process straightforward and less burdensome for property owners. On the other hand, underground oil tanks require careful handling to prevent soil contamination and must adhere to strict regulations, including obtaining the necessary permits and engaging licensed contractors for removal.

By focusing solely on above-ground oil tank removal, Anthony's Abatement ensures a high level of expertise and efficiency, streamlining the process for homeowners and reducing potential delays and complications.

Connecticut has established comprehensive laws and regulations to ensure the safe installation, maintenance, and removal of oil tanks. These regulations are designed to protect both the environment and public health by preventing leaks and spills that can contaminate soil and groundwater. The Connecticut Oil Tank Code governs the installation, maintenance, and removal of both aboveground and underground storage tanks. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for businesses, homeowners’ associations, and other entities that use commercial oil tanks. By adhering to these laws, property owners can mitigate potential environmental hazards and ensure the safety of their communities.

Oil tanks, if not properly managed, pose significant environmental risks. Leaks and spills from these tanks can lead to soil and groundwater contamination, which can have severe consequences for human health and the environment. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), over 100,000 underground storage tanks (USTs) in the United States are currently leaking, causing widespread contamination. In Connecticut, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) requires oil tank owners to report any leaks or spills to the Spill Prevention Division. Proper installation, maintenance, and removal of oil tanks are crucial to preventing these environmental hazards and protecting our natural resources.

Removing an oil tank offers numerous benefits, including reducing the risk of environmental contamination and eliminating the need for costly maintenance and repairs. It also increases property value and helps property owners avoid liability for environmental damage and expensive cleanup efforts.
