Many of these oil tanks are buried underground. This was done decades ago by shortsighted home builders and installers who decided that burying the oil tank would save space in the basement or garage and be less unsightly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This seems like a ridiculous idea today, but at the time, most people, governments and fuel providers did not realize the potential environmental damage this could cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When natural gas began to replace oil as the preferred fuel for home heating, many oil tanks were emptied and filled with sand, but left buried on the property.\u00a0 There was frequently some residual oil that left in them and this has the potential to leak out and damage the environment surrounding it. The metal oil tanks themselves are also not good for the underground environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oil tank removal in Vancouver is the law and home owners must remove the oil tanks that are on their grounds if they wish to sell on the property. Many people fear that oil tank removal in Vancouver can be an unpleasant experience, but at West Coast Tank Recovery, we aim to make it as easy as possible and address your concerns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Messy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most people think oil tank removal in Vancouver is a messy process and will involve ruining the entire area, or grounds.
