Above-ground oil tank installation, replacement & piping for homeowners across Hartford, Tolland & Litchfield Counties.
Oil Tank Services
Many homes throughout West Suffield and the surrounding Connecticut countryside still rely on oil heat, and an aging oil tank is a liability most homeowners would rather address on their own schedule than after a leak. SJT Plumbing installs and replaces above-ground oil tanks and related piping for homeowners across Hartford, Tolland, and Litchfield Counties.
We'll assess your current tank's age and condition, help you choose the right size replacement, and handle the piping connections to your furnace or boiler. If your tank shows signs of corrosion, leaking, or is past its expected service life, it's worth having it inspected before it becomes an emergency.
Warning Signs
Most homeowners' insurance policies won't cover an oil tank past a certain age. Watch for:
Rust or corrosion on the tank exterior
Visible dents, wet spots, or oil odor near the tank
A tank older than 20-25 years
Difficulty getting homeowners insurance due to tank age
An oil tank with no visible manufacture date or documentation
