Tank dismantling

Klondike Environmental can remove all types of aboveground and underground tanks.

Fuel oil tanks for heating residential and commercial buildings.

When heating systems were converted to newer technology, many people abandoned their tanks and buried them.

It's important to remove the buried tank, since a leak near a building poses a significant risk of hydrocarbons migrating into the foundation drains of nearby buildings, and even under the foundations.

Spills can be unsuspected in their extent, which can lead to significant costs in soil decontamination work.
