Storage Tank Removal Tips
How can I tell if my oil tank is leaking?
It's easier to tell when an above ground tank is leaking since it's always visible, but underground storage tank leaks are a bit harder to detect. In some cases, it can take years before an underground storage tank leak is detected.
Be aware of the signs that a leak has occurred:
-
There is dead/dying vegetation in the area of the tank
-
The soil in the area is darker than the surrounding native soils
-
The area around the fill pipe is stained
-
You can smell heating oil odors in the house/coming out of the ground
-
Fuel consumption spikes even though the weather isn't especially cold
-
There is an oily rainbow sheen on the water beneath the tank, in basement sump, etc.
-
If your well water develops a strange taste, odor, or color
-
There is water in fuel lines
If you see any of these signs, contact an underground tank testing company immediately.
