Where We Remove Tanks

Oil tank removal across Greater Moncton and the surrounding communities, with scheduled coverage extending to Fredericton and Saint John. Same method, same paperwork, same written quote in Canadian dollars, whether the tank is in a city basement or buried behind a farmhouse.

Communities we cover

The core service area is a comfortable same-day drive from Moncton, which takes in the whole tri-community area and a wide band of rural Westmorland and Albert County. Fredericton and Saint John are covered as scheduled trips. Travel beyond Greater Moncton is quoted as a separate line rather than folded invisibly into the removal price.

Moncton, NB

Westmorland County

The primary market and the bulk of the work. Moncton's older neighbourhoods on the west bank of the Petitcodiac carry a large share of the province's 1955 to 1988 buried-tank housing, and the basement tanks that replaced them are now themselves hitting 20 years. Insurance non-renewals and pre-sale removals drive most of what we do here.

Dieppe, NB

Westmorland County

East of Moncton and one of the fastest-growing communities in Atlantic Canada, which means two distinct jobs: older Francophone-majority streets near the original village with tanks of genuine age, and newer subdivisions where oil-to-heat-pump conversions are removing relatively young tanks early. Same drive, same pricing as Moncton.

Riverview, NB

Albert County

Across the Petitcodiac on the south bank, developed heavily through the 1960s and 1970s, which places much of the housing stock squarely in the buried-tank window. Albert County rather than Westmorland, though the provincial rules under Regulation 87-97 are identical on both sides of the river.

Shediac, NB

Westmorland County

Roughly 25 kilometres northeast on the Strait coast, with a mix of year-round homes and seasonal cottages. Coastal humidity and the shoulder-season cycle of heating and standing idle are hard on tanks here, and cottage tanks are often older than the owner realises because they burn so little fuel per year.

Salisbury and Petitcodiac

Westmorland County

West of Moncton along the river valley, largely rural and small-lot residential. Properties out here are more likely to have a buried tank still in the ground because municipal pressure to remove was lower and the yards are big enough that nobody tripped over it. Travel is quoted as a separate line.

Sackville and Dorchester

Westmorland County

Southeast toward the Nova Scotia border, including Sackville's older university-town housing stock and the surrounding farm properties. Barns, outbuildings and farmhouses in this area sometimes carry a second tank nobody has thought about in thirty years, which is worth flagging before a sale.

Fredericton, NB

York County

Roughly 180 kilometres west, the provincial capital, covered as a scheduled trip rather than a same-day call. Fredericton's older central neighbourhoods have the same buried-tank profile as Moncton's, and the provincial regulator sits in the city, so the compliance side is well understood locally.

Saint John, NB

Saint John County

About 150 kilometres southwest on the Bay of Fundy, the province's oldest housing stock and the harshest coastal climate for steel. Tanks corrode faster here than anywhere else in New Brunswick, and the pre-war housing means buried tanks that predate any registration requirement at all.

The area we cover

What we do, everywhere we go

Above-ground tank removal

Basement and outdoor tanks drained, purged, cut down and carried out, with the fuel line and vent capped and the residual oil taken to a licensed facility.

Buried tank excavation

Excavator work to expose and lift a buried tank, clean it in place, inspect the shell for perforations, sample the soil beneath it and backfill the void with approved fill.

Soil sampling and remediation

Laboratory analysis against New Brunswick's residential hydrocarbon thresholds, with contaminated material excavated and disposed of under the province's reporting requirements.

Replacement tank installation

A new steel or double-wall tank installed to CSA B139 in the same visit as the removal, which is the cheapest way to change a tank and the fastest way to get heat back on.

Oil to heat pump conversion support

Tank removal coordinated with the HVAC installer so the old system comes out cleanly and the conversion is not held up waiting on a tank.

Decommissioning documentation

The letter, the waste transfer records and any lab results, assembled as the package an insurer or a buyer's lawyer will actually accept.
