From the older streets of Saint-Anselme and Chartersville to the newer builds out by Fox Creek, we replace and remove oil tanks all over Dieppe. Free written estimates, and a 24/7 line if your tank is leaking.
Dieppe has grown faster than just about any city in New Brunswick, but plenty of homes in its older core still heat with oil. If your place is in Saint-Anselme or Chartersville, or on one of the streets off Champlain or Acadie, there's a good chance the tank beside your foundation has been there for decades. And when the insurance renewal shows up asking how old that tank is, it can feel like a fire drill.
Hub City Tank Co handles oil tank replacement and removal across Dieppe and the rest of Greater Moncton. Estimates are free and in writing, we're licensed and insured, and our emergency line answers around the clock if a tank is leaking. Call (506) 802-3471 and we'll talk it through, no pressure.
We swap aging tanks in Dieppe homes for new certified units, usually in a single day. Most jobs in the older core are done before supper, with your heat back on the same afternoon.
Switched to a heat pump or electric baseboard? We drain, disconnect, and haul away the old tank, and leave you the dated paperwork insurers and home buyers want to see.
Some older Dieppe properties still hide an underground tank from decades back. We find it, dig it out safely, and document the condition of the site.
A leaking tank can't wait, especially in a Dieppe January. Call our 24/7 line at (506) 802-3471 and we'll get a crew out to contain it fast.
Dieppe grew up around old Léger Corner, and the neighbourhoods that came with that growth, places like Saint-Anselme and Chartersville, were largely built when oil was the default way to heat a home. The newer subdivisions out toward Fox Creek and the airport mostly went electric from day one. That leaves a real split: newer Dieppe rarely thinks about oil, while the older core lives with it every winter.
The trouble with steel tanks is that they rust from the inside out. Condensation collects at the bottom, corrosion works away quietly for years, and the outside can look perfectly fine right up until the day it isn't. That's why age matters more than appearance.
If your tank is past 15 years old, or you honestly don't know how old it is, it's worth having someone look at it. We'll give you a straight answer about whether it has life left. When it's time, our replacement service covers all of Dieppe.
The most common call we get from Dieppe starts the same way: the insurance company sent a letter asking for the tank's age, a photo, or proof of replacement before they'll renew the policy. Most insurers in New Brunswick want oil tanks under a certain age, often somewhere between 15 and 25 years depending on the company and the tank type. If yours is older than that, or you can't prove its age, they can ask for a new one.
It's stressful, but it's rarely the emergency it feels like. You usually have time to get a quote, book the work, and send your insurer the paperwork. We move quickly on these, and every job comes with dated documentation your insurer can put in your file.
As for what it costs, most standard above-ground replacements in Greater Moncton land in the $2,500 to $4,500 range, and Dieppe jobs are no different. Our cost guide breaks down what pushes a job toward either end.
It starts with a free written estimate. Dieppe is right next door to our Moncton base, so we can usually get to you within a day or two, whether you're near Champlain Street or out past Fox Creek. You'll know the full price before we touch anything.
On replacement day we pump out the remaining oil, swap the tank, transfer your oil back, check every line and fitting, and fire the furnace before we leave. For a straight removal, we drain the tank, disconnect it, haul it away, and hand you the paperwork. Either way, we clean up after ourselves.
One more thing worth knowing about older Dieppe properties: if there's an unexplained pipe sticking out of the lawn, it could be the fill or vent for a buried tank from a past heating system. And if you ever smell oil or spot a wet stain under your current tank, treat it as urgent and call our emergency line right away.
Most standard above-ground replacements in Dieppe land between $2,500 and $4,500 CAD, depending on the tank type, where it sits, and how much oil needs transferring. You'll always get a free written estimate before any work starts. Our cost guide covers what pushes a job toward either end of that range.
Usually within a day or two for the estimate, since Dieppe is only minutes from our Moncton base. Most replacements can be booked within the same week. Every job comes with dated paperwork you can send straight to your insurance company.
Not at all. A lot of our Dieppe customers are French-first, and that's never been an issue on a job. Our estimates and paperwork are written in plain English, and we'll gladly walk through every line with you until it all makes sense.
If your house dates from the 1950s to the 1970s in a neighbourhood like Saint-Anselme or Chartersville, it's possible. Telltale signs include a fill or vent pipe in the yard that doesn't connect to anything obvious, or a faint oil smell after heavy rain. We can locate the tank, remove it, and document the site properly.
Free written estimates. Emergency calls answered around the clock.
