๐ก Useful Information About Heating Oil Tanks Still Underground
If you're preparing to sell your home, it's important to know whether an underground heating oil tank (UST) is present on your property.
In New York, sellers are required to disclose underground storage tanks, and buyers often request inspections to check for leaks or contamination. Mortgage lenders and insurance companies may also require removal or certification of the tank before a sale can proceed.
If a tank is no longer in use, it may need to be properly decommissioned or removed. Failing to address a leaking tank can lead to significant environmental cleanup costs and potential fines.
If you have questions or concerns about an underground oil tank, Tri State Environmental Services in Hawthorne, NY has the trained professionals to help ensure the job is done right and in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
