Today, environmental concerns are a top priority for all levels of government and citizens alike. And as a property owner, complying with environmental codes is a smart way to protect your investment and get the most enjoyment from it too. That's why, if you have storage tanks on your property, it makes sense to trust the maintenance, inspection and assessment, or installation and removal of them, to the professionals at Waterline Environmental Inc.

They'll provide you with the expertise needed to get the job done right, quickly and efficiently with minimal impact to your property. The experts at Waterline Environmental Inc., take pride in keeping abreast of the latest changes in government codes and the newest breakthroughs in leading-edge, environmental technology. You'll have the peace of mind of knowing your project will be done right, conforming to codes and meeting your needs.

As a property owner, you have a responsibility to your community to ensure that it is safe and free of any environmental hazards. As of November 2000, The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) advised all owners of fuel oil heating systems of the requirement to have their heating systems inspected by qualified oil burner technicians, and the need to register their underground (buried) fuel oil storage tanks with TSSA.

New requirements were introduced in October 2001 to reduce the number of fuel oil leaks and spills that occur throughout the province each year. For more information, please refer to soil remediation.

The fuel oil distributor must inspect all equipment to which they deliver fuel, whether it is located above or below ground, initially and at least once every 10 years. Fuel oil cannot be delivered to equipment that poses an immediate hazard. For further questions relating to furnaces/heating systems using fuel oil, please view www.tssa.org/public/consumer/homeowners/consumerHome03.asp

Most fuel oil spills are preventable by a simple inspection during regular maintenance and by replacing aging or defective components. Please contact your local fuel oil supplier for more information about the inspection requirements for your heating system.

If you own a buried fuel oil tank, the following chart applies:

Age of Underground Tank System in Years from Date of Installation Date to Remove or Upgrade Underground Tanks
25 and more, or unknown October 1, 2006
20-24 October 1, 2007
10-19 October 1, 2008
0-9 October 1, 2009

More further information, please visit the TSSA website.

Waterline will provide each homeowner with a comprehensive Environmental Site Assessment (E. S. A.) Report and will provide support documentation to the T.S.S.A. on the status of your fuel tank and, should the tank be removed, confirmation that the site is free of any spills or leakage. Our number one priority is you the customer.

"My wife and I have been worried about the removal of our underground heating oil tank for some time. Your company removed it on time and without any fuss. You left our front yard as if nobody had been there. Well done."

P. Webber, Homeowner


I have an indoor fuel tank. Am I also affected by the changes to the provincial legislation?

You too, will be required to register your fuel tank. Fuel oil distributors are required to conduct inspections on all fuel oil heating systems including all underground and above ground tanks, associated piping, venting and heating appliances such as furnaces, boilers and water heaters.

FAQ's about Aboveground tanks


"Waterline Environmental removed a heating oil tank from under our wood deck in the back yard with incredible ease, rebuilt the deck and when complete, you would not have known they were there. Professionalism at its' best. Thank you and your staff for an excellent job."

J. Cumming, Homeowner


Will my insurance cover the cost of having an underground fuel tank removed?

Unfortunately, no. The homeowner/property owner is responsible for the cost of removing the tank and the contaminated soil.
