Portland Underground Oil Tanks

Many thousands of older homes in Portland, Oregon were once heated by oil furnaces that pulled the oil from oil tanks buried in the home's land. Not all of these oil tanks were registered or permitted when installed. Over time these old tanks can leak and spill toxic oil into the ground. Oregon DEQ requires oil tank decommissioning when these old leaking oil tanks are found. Checking for a hidden buried oil tank, often called a "tank sweep", is a common part of a home inspection conducted on an older home in our area.

What My Clients Are Saying

Stephen was just simply a fantastic realtor to work with in selling our home. If we had another 50 properties to sell, Stephen would be in charge of all of them. He was so professional in handling every detail of our sale, and he was so responsive to every question that came up in the course of our transaction. My wife and I are very thankful that we found Stephen.
