Riverview's 1960s and 70s bungalows are reaching the age where the furnace and the oil tank wear out together. We're minutes over the Gunningsville Bridge with free written estimates.
Riverview grew up fast as Moncton's bedroom town across the Petitcodiac, and whole streets of it went in during the 1960s and 70s. A lot of those bungalows in Riverview Heights, Bridgedale, and Gunningsville still heat with oil, and when the house, furnace, and tank all date from the same era, they tend to reach the end together. The tank is usually what your insurance company notices first.
Hub City Tank Co replaces and removes residential oil tanks across Riverview, usually within a few days of your call. You'll get a free written estimate, a licensed and insured crew, and a straight answer on whether your tank really needs to go. Read up on oil tank replacement or call (506) 802-3471 and we'll take a look.
We swap aging tanks in Riverview basements and side yards for new CSA-approved models, usually in a single visit. Most jobs get booked within days, not weeks.
Moving to a heat pump or electric baseboard? We drain, disconnect, and haul away the old tank, and leave you paperwork your insurer will accept.
Some older lots in Bridgedale and along Coverdale Road date back before Riverview amalgamated, and a few still hide underground tanks. We locate, excavate, and remove them properly.
A leaking tank can't wait for Monday, especially in a Riverview January. Our 24/7 emergency line gets a crew over the bridge fast.
Riverview as we know it came together in 1973, when Riverview Heights, Bridgedale, and Gunningsville amalgamated into one town. Most of the housing stock was already standing by then, built through the 60s and early 70s when oil was the default way to heat a bungalow. Those homes are now sitting at fifty or sixty years old.
A steel oil tank doesn't last anywhere near that long. Most are done in 15 to 25 years, which means many Riverview homes are on their second or third tank, and some are overdue for the next one. If your furnace is original or close to it, odds are the tank beside it is tired too.
The good news is that a tank replacement is a one-day job for most homes. Our cost guide breaks down what Riverview homeowners typically pay, and the written estimate we give you is free either way.
Most insurers in New Brunswick now put an age limit on oil tanks, often 15 to 20 years for steel. When your renewal comes up, they may ask for proof of the tank's age or a photo of the nameplate, and if you can't provide it, you get the letter with a deadline. It lands in Riverview mailboxes all the time, and it feels more urgent than it usually is.
Take a breath before you panic. In most cases you have weeks, not days, and a scheduled replacement is far cheaper than an emergency one. We'll confirm the tank's actual age off the nameplate if it's there, give you a free written estimate, and supply the installation paperwork your insurer wants to see.
If you're leaving oil behind altogether, removing the old tank and capping the lines properly gives your insurer the documentation they need too. Either way, you'll know your options in one visit.
We're based on the Moncton side, which puts most of Riverview a few minutes over the Gunningsville Bridge. There's no travel charge to come across, and Riverview is part of our core service area along with Dieppe and Salisbury.
That closeness matters most when something goes wrong. If you smell oil in the basement or see a wet stain under the tank, call our 24/7 line and we'll treat it as the emergency it is. A leak caught early is a cleanup; a leak ignored can turn into a soil remediation bill.
For everything else, from a routine swap to digging out an old buried tank, we book Riverview jobs on regular weekday runs. Call (506) 802-3471 and we'll find a time that works.
Usually within a few days of your call, and faster if the deadline is tight. We'll do the site visit, hand you a free written estimate, and once you approve, most Riverview replacements are done in a single day. You'll have the paperwork your insurer needs before the crew leaves.
As a rough guide, most standard above-ground replacements in the Riverview area land in the $2,500 to $4,000 CAD range, depending on tank size, location, and the state of your fill and vent lines. Basement tanks with awkward access can run more. Every quote we give is written, itemized, and free.
A few do, mostly on lots that predate the 1973 amalgamation in Bridgedale, Gunningsville, and out along Coverdale Road. The telltale sign is a fill pipe or vent sticking out of the ground with no tank in sight. If you spot one, don't ignore it; a forgotten underground tank can leak quietly for years, and we can locate and remove it properly.
No. Riverview is part of our core service area, and it's only a few minutes over the Gunningsville Bridge from our side of the river. You pay the same rates as a job in Moncton, and estimates are free and in writing.
Free written estimates. Emergency calls answered around the clock.
