Sometimes people build house additions on top of buried oil tanks. What were they thinking???
Regardless, this means that at least part of the supporting footer is or eventually will be compromised. Steel tanks are continually corroding and they will eventually collapse.
To end your legal liability and to protect your house foundation, tanks under house foundations need to cut open so they can be pumped and washed clean. Then the tank should be completely filled with concrete to support the house foundation.
To close a heating oil tank in-place, prior permission is required from the State of North Carolina.
PES can complete this scope of work and help you receive your “No Further Action” letter from the State.
