According to the BC Fire code section 4.10.3, it states that “Property owners are required to remove underground storage tanks, and all associated pipe connectors, that have been out of service for at least two years”.
Some other common reasons to remove an oil tank are:
- Property is for sale
- Renewing mortgage
- Renewing home insurance
- Complying with local government regulations
- Preparing for a renovation, eg. Building a new deck, coach house or addition.
- Being pro active
- Reducing, preventing, or mitigating any risk of potential leakage from your oil tank.
