How old is the tank? Leaks are more probable in tanks that are 15+ years old.

Have you noticed an unexplainable increase in your heating oil use? It’s important to deal with a tank leak as soon as possible. Tank Specialists Plus offers tank inspection and removal services, as well as site remediation to remove harmful substances from the soil, following state guidelines.

It’s important that you feel comfortable with the company you select for your oil tank project. You should get estimates from more than one company. Remember: no one can provide an accurate estimate without visiting the site first! That’s why Tank Specialists Plus offers free local site visits before quoting a price. Our estimates are accurate 99% of the time because our experience allows us to foresee any scenario.

The right underground oil tank specialist will also take these factors into consideration while preparing their estimate:

• Your location (Towns have unique laws and codes covering tank removals)
• Size of your current tank
• Size of replacement tank
• How much fuel is left in your current tank
• Location of a new tank (inside or outside)

If inside:

• Type of foundation
• Pipe access
• Location of windows
• Basement access

If outside:

• Location of nearby windows
• Location of shrubs and plantings
• Parking access (for equipment during the project)
