Old, forgotten, or leaking oil tanks are a bigger problem than most homeowners and property managers realize. Buried beneath the ground, these tanks might have been a reliable heating source decades ago, but today, they’re environmental hazards waiting to happen.
These aging tanks can corrode, leak, and contaminate soil and groundwater without warning, leading to hefty fines, property devaluation, and serious health risks. Worse, if your property has a leaking tank and you don’t address it, you could be held liable for environmental damage—even if you weren’t the one who installed it.
Tacoma’s proximity to Puget Sound means that untreated spills could eventually reach critical waterways, harming wildlife and marine ecosystems. That’s why swift and thorough environmental cleanup is essential—not just for compliance but for long-term sustainability. Imagine putting your home on the market, only to have an inspector discover an abandoned oil tank leaking beneath your yard. Suddenly, potential buyers are backing out, and you're faced with unexpected cleanup costs.
Beyond removal, proper environmental cleanup ensures any contamination is addressed before it spreads. Soil remediation, contaminated soil disposal, and site restoration are essential for preventing long-term damage. And let’s be honest, dealing with hazardous waste isn’t exactly a DIY project. You need experts who know how to handle permits, safely remove underground storage tanks (USTs), and restore your property without leaving a mess behind.
For homeowners, real estate agents, or business owners in Tacoma, getting ahead of the problem is key. Envirotank, LLC
is a name you can rely on for seamless oil tank removal and environmental cleanup. We make sure your property stays safe, compliant, and free from costly surprises.
Located along the shores of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA is a vibrant port city with a rich industrial past and a thriving cultural scene. Just 32 miles southwest of Seattle, it is home to Washington’s largest port, Commencement Bay, which has long been a hub for international trade. Once known as the "City of Destiny" due to its role as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad, the area has since transformed into a lively, revitalized urban center.
The city has century-old brick warehouses that are now house museums, art galleries, and a branch of the University of Washington. Tacoma’s downtown revival has made it a cultural hotspot, featuring attractions like the Museum of Glass, the Tacoma Art Museum, and the historic Pantages Theater. Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore at Point Defiance Park, a stunning 760-acre green space with scenic trails, a zoo, and breathtaking waterfront views.
