Washington State Building Code requires that any tank which has been out of service for one year shall be removed from the ground or decommissioned in place. An inspection is not required by the code but some local jurisdictions may require it.

One of the liability risks that lenders have faced is that they might become the owner of a contaminated property if they hold a security interest in the property as collateral for a loan. The result is that all lenders require the removal or decommision of an abandoned tank just to preclude any future problems.

We have been in the residential tank business for 25 years here in the Puget Sound area. Our services include tank decommissioning in place, removal, soil sampling, remediation services and any other tank related services. We also provide new tank installation or replacement for those customers who are choosing oil heat.
