Why Woodbridge Homeowners Remove Their Oil Tanks

Home sale

Connecticut lenders typically require documented tank removal or abandonment before issuing mortgage commitments on properties with undocumented underground tanks.

Switching to gas or electric heat

Once the oil furnace is decommissioned, the tank needs to go too. An unused tank is a liability that's only going to get more expensive to remove.

Aging or leaking tank

Connecticut DEEP guidelines require leaking tanks to be emptied and removed promptly. Reporting and cleanup are mandatory.

Insurance requirement

Some insurers in Connecticut are requiring removal of older underground tanks as a condition of continued coverage.
