Underground Tank Removals

Are you a business owner, Realtor, insurance company, or homeowner dealing with an underground fuel tank, commonly referred to as Underground Storage Tanks (UST)? The removal of these tanks often becomes a necessity, especially when selling a property. To satisfy home inspectors, potential buyers, and financing requirements, proving the absence of underlying issues related to underground tanks is crucial. At Specialized Onsite Services (SOS), we offer specialized Underground Storage Tank removal services to ensure your property transactions proceed smoothly and without environmental concerns.

• Comprehensive Identification and Removal: Our team provides comprehensive services to detect and remove buried underground tanks. The process begins with careful testing to identify any hidden underground tanks on your property. If a tank is discovered, we proceed with careful and efficient excavation. Our approach prioritizes minimal disruption to your property while ensuring all environmental safety standards are met.
• Soil Testing and Contamination Management: After removal, we conduct thorough soil sampling to check for any contamination that might have occurred due to the underground tank. If contamination is found, our experienced team is also equipped to handle the removal of impacted material. This step is vital in ensuring that your property is safe and meets environmental standards.
• Certified Soil Transportation and Restoration: Contaminated soil is safely transported to a certified facility for proper disposal. We conduct additional confirmatory or verification sampling for laboratory analysis to ensure complete remediation. Once the site meets the Ministry of the Environment's (MOE) site condition standards, we proceed to fill the excavation site, restoring your property to its original state or better.

SOS is recognized by the Professional Engineers of Ontario and meets the rigorous requirements set by the Ministry of the Environment and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). This recognition is a testament to our capability and commitment to provide comprehensive services for the removal of underground fuel storage tanks.

• Environmental Safety: Older USTs risk leaking harmful substances into soil and groundwater, posing serious environmental threats. Removing these tanks helps protect the ecosystem.
• Regulatory Compliance: Proper UST removal ensures adherence to environmental regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal complications.
• Property Value: UST removal can increase your property's appeal to buyers, potentially enhancing its market value and facilitating real estate transactions.
• Reduced Liability: Eliminating an unused or old UST decreases the risk of pollution liability and associated cleanup costs.
• Future Development: Clearing a UST from your property allows more freedom for planning renovations or new constructions.

Understanding Risks of an Underground Storage Tank: Discovering an underground storage tank on your property isn't just inconvenient; it's a significant environmental concern that demands professional attention. Such tanks, especially older models, are usually made of bare steel, which is prone to corrosion over time. This corrosion can lead to hazardous substances leaking into the surrounding soil and water, posing a severe risk to the environment and potentially impacting your property's value and safety.

The Importance of Professional Removal: The removal of an underground storage tank is often a necessary step, particularly for homeowners looking to sell their property. Many real estate transactions require the removal of any USTs as a condition of sale, to ensure environmental compliance and to protect the new owners from future liabilities.

Risks of DIY Removal: Attempting to remove an underground storage tank by yourself can be extremely risky. Without the proper knowledge, tools, and safety protocols, you might cause damage to your property, or worse, endanger yourself and others. It's not just about physical removal; there are environmental regulations and safety standards that must be strictly adhered to.
