Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long is my new tank guaranteed for?
A: It depends on the type of tank. Guarantees generally last for 10-30 years depending on the model of the tank.
Q: I converted to gas recently. Is it necessary to abandon or remove my existing oil tank?
A: Absolutely. An old oil tank still has some oil and sludge in it, even if it has been pumped out. After a period of time, it is bound to decay. This will cause an oil spill, and it will also cause the ground to sink.
Q: How long will my work take?
A: An above-ground or basement installation should take about half a day. A buried installation typically takes a full day. Foam abandonments take up to an hour and a half, depending on the temperature. Sand and slurry abandonments will take no more than a day.

Q: Do I have to be home?

Q: What do you do with the oil you removed from my tank?
