FAQ

Q: How long is my new tank guaranteed for?

A: It depends on the type of tank. Steel tanks, such as the Granby 275-gallon, have a three-year warranty. Fiberglass tanks, such as the ZCL 240- and 300-gallon tank and the Cardinal 285-, 550-, and 1,000-gallon tank, have thirty-year warranty.

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. Spill remediation can take months to years.

Q: Do you work in the rain/snow?

A: It depends on the severity of the weather. We rarely work in snow. We do work in drizzle, but not in generous rain because water will get inside the tank.

Q: Do you require a down-payment?

A: Down-payments are preferable, but not necessary.

Q: Do you offer financing?

A: Yes.

Q: Do I have to be home?

A: For installations, buried removals, and any other work that requires access to the inside of your house, you absolutely must be home. However, no one needs to be present for an abandonment because no access to the house is required.

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

A: Oil taken from an abandoned or removed tank is transported to a licensed disposal facility.

Q: What do you do with contaminated soil?

A: Contaminated soil is first stockpiled on site until it is approved for disposal. It is then carted to a licensed facility, where its contaminant levels are checked.

Q: Will you provide a cover for my above-ground tank?

A: We do provide covers for Roth tanks. Covers are also available for the ZCL tanks, but as they are special order items, they must be requested.
