Are you selling your home soon, or do you plan to sell in the future? There’s a lot to think about, from fixing up your house for maximum curb appeal to negotiating offers with potential home buyers. However, if your property has ever used oil heat, there may be something you’re forgetting. Some homes heated by oil use tanks located in the basement or aboveground on the property, but others have underground storage tanks. 

Are you shopping for a new place to call home or about to begin serious renovations on your property? If the building in question uses oil heat now or has ever used it in the past, there is a chance of a buried fuel tank somewhere on the property. Buried fuel oil tanks may not seem like a big issue, especially in more rural areas, but they can be a nightmare for your whole neighborhood as they age and rust.
