Home heating oil spills can occur due to leaking storage tanks, overfilling, or malfunctions in the heating system. Since these tanks are often located in basements, spills can lead to contamination of basement contents, the concrete foundation, and potentially the soil or groundwater beneath the structure.

If buried storage tanks are left unattended, over time corrosion will occur eventually causing perforations or holes in the tank itself. Buried storage tanks can be found on both residential and commercial/industrial properties around Athens.
