Oil Tank Removal

The scariest thing about oil tank removal is the uncertain costs associated with the removal of soils contaminated by a leak in the tank. The best time to remove an oil tank is now. This is because this mitigates the increasing probability of a leakage over time, and therefore minimizes the cost of removal now. Most tanks I’ve dealt with have been fine and removal has been straight forward. It takes experience to uncover, drain and remove a tank while avoiding damage to the tank and spillage to the surrounding area. In most cases where access is not an issue, a typical oil tank removal job can be as little as a few thousand dollars.

Oil tank removal is a complicated task with many hazards if performed incorrectly.  If you have an underground oil tank in your home that you would like removed, it is important to hire a professional expert instead of doing it yourself. This is because the expert is well equipped and experienced to remove the oil tank safely and efficiently. The process is even more complicated when the oil tank is old because it has a higher chance of damage, which can cause leakage of oil to the surroundings, and ensuing pollution. If the tank leaks during the removal process, it can cause harm and damage to the environment in the vicinity.

A leaking tank can cause the plants in the vicinity to die off or even contaminate water bodies in the area causing irreparable damage to the surrounding ecosystem. Underground oil tank removal is highly complicated because the tank may have weak spots [...]

Foundations – New/Old

New Foundations
New foundations must be properly damp proofed and covered with products like Dimple Guard that serve as mechanical protection between soils/rock and the new, damp proofed concrete surface. If your project is classified as a renovation, then the current building code does not require the installation of foundation protection such as dimple Guard; a raised house with a new foundation is classified as a renovation.
Foundation Repair – Fixing foundation cracks
If you’ve got an old house and are worried about cracks in your foundation, let us come over and do a free consultation. We’ll inspect the foundation outside and inside and give you our assessment. Small cracks are not often a problem, but large cracks can lead to ingress of water to the basement, especially in moisture laden soils that don’t drain well, such as clay. So the local area of Vancouver and the local soil conditions play a role here; not every situation presents the same remedies and often, an assessment of the entire context is crucial in determining a successful solution for your home. Call me for a free assessment and I’ll provide you with a solution that fits best for your home and property.

A home is an expensive but much needed part of everyone’s life. There are many things to do to ensure that your home is safe and sound. The foundation is essentially the most important part of your home. Sometimes a building’s foundation is damaged by a variety of different reasons.

If your foundation is cracked there are many ways to fix the foundation crack.  However, the actual extent of the damage must be assessed by a professional that understands these types of problems.  At Boondock Equipment [...]
