If you live in a rural area of Northern Virginia and own an older home, you may have a hidden outdoor petroleum tank that could require removal.
How do you know if you have a hidden petroleum tank? A great first step is to spend some time walking your entire property. Do you see any unexpected pipes protruding from or flush with the ground, including by the curb? Are there any depressions near a building? Any large areas of dead grass that you can’t account for?
If you answer yes to one or more of these questions, you may need petroleum tank removal at your Northern Virginia home. The good news is that the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has a fund that may partially reimburse you for costs involved in the removal of underground petroleum tanks in Northern Virginia.
