All oil tanks have a system for ventilation, causing the inside of the tank to be exposed to the atmosphere. Consequently, moisture easily accumulates within the tank due to humidity in the surrounding environment. As this water builds up, mainly at the bottom of the tank, it begins to rust from the inside out. Once a hole forms due to this corrosion, any oil inside will spill out. Therefore, the homeowner is left accountable for the expensive cleanup procedures. Not only does removing the tank avert accidents, it also will eliminate any stenches of oil, and make your property more visually appealing.
