If you need petroleum tank installation at your Prince William County VA home, you should know that this is not a do-it-yourself project. Nor is it a project for a friend’s friend who owns a backhoe, and got some random directions off of the internet.
Home petroleum tanks are large – usually six feet long and about four feet high. Depending on the space available, a petroleum tank can be installed above or below ground.
An above ground petroleum tank installation requires a poured concrete slab. Close enough to the house, but far enough away to allow for inspection, service, and filling. If you opt to have your petroleum tank installed in the basement or garage, your new tank will not require additional footing, and can be placed right on top of the concrete. However, it will still need a good amount of open space around it.
If not installed properly, a petroleum tank will leak oil. Leaking oil is a toxic health hazard; it’s dangerous to your and your family’s health, your community, and the environment. And it will cost you thousands of dollars to clean up.
