Realtors know that petroleum tank removal makes it easier to sell your Fairfax VA home. Home buyers – even those who are buying an older “fixer-upper” or “handy man’s special” – will choose natural gas over heating oil, when given a choice. Homes with petroleum oil tanks, even those who have ben decommissioned, will take longer to sell and will sell for less than those with no tank.
If you’re preparing to sell your home, warmer weather is the best time to have the petroleum tank removed. Hopefully, all of last winter’s oil has been used, and it’s easier to find the petroleum tank at your Northern Virginia home. It’s also easier to get removal equipment in and out of your property, with the least amount of complications.
If a leak is found during a petroleum tank removal in Fairfax VA, the spill must be cleaned up. Fortunately for Virginia homeowners, there is a Petroleum Storage Tank Reimbursement Fund (VPSTF) to help homeowners and businesses pay for certain costs associated with cleaning up leaking petroleum tanks. This fund is administered through the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ); and there are requirements that must be met for receiving reimbursements from the fund.
