From the village core out to the farm properties along Route 106 and Route 112, we replace and remove heating oil tanks across Salisbury. Free written estimates, and a 24/7 line if your tank is leaking.
Salisbury sits about twenty minutes west of Moncton along the Petitcodiac River, and a lot of homes and farmhouses out this way still heat with oil. Most of those tanks sit outside year-round, taking everything a New Brunswick winter can throw at them. Freeze-thaw, blowing snow, and spring rain are hard on steel, and an outdoor tank often ages faster than the same tank would in a basement.
Hub City Tank Co handles oil tank replacement and removal for Salisbury and the rural roads around it. We're licensed and insured, our estimates are free and in writing, and since we're based in Moncton we can usually get out to you quickly. If your tank is leaking right now, skip the reading and call (506) 802-3471. That line is answered 24/7.
We swap aging tanks at Salisbury homes and farms for new tanks built to handle outdoor exposure, and most jobs are done in a single day so you're not left without heat.
Switched off oil or have a dead tank sitting in the yard? We pump out the remaining fuel, disconnect the lines, and haul the tank away, leaving the site tidy.
Older farm properties around Salisbury sometimes hide an underground tank from decades back. We locate it, dig it out, and give you the paperwork your insurer or lawyer wants to see.
A leaking oil tank can't wait for Monday, especially mid-winter in Salisbury. Call (506) 802-3471 any hour and we'll walk you through what to do while we're on the way.
Around Salisbury, most oil tanks live outside against the house or shed rather than in a basement. That means every freeze-thaw cycle works on the tank legs and the ground under them, snow sliding off the roof can bang up fill pipes and gauges, and temperature swings pull condensation into the tank itself. Water settles to the bottom and rusts steel tanks from the inside out, which is why a tank can look fine on the outside and still be near the end of its life.
A few things worth checking each fall: legs that are sinking, tilting, or sitting on cracked blocks, wet-looking stains or blisters on the underside of the tank, and drips at the filter or valve. A faint oil smell near the tank after rain is another red flag. None of these mean panic, but they do mean it's time for a proper look.
If you ever find fuel on the ground or smell oil strongly, don't wait. Call our 24/7 emergency line at (506) 802-3471. A small leak caught early is a cleanup; a leak left over a weekend can turn into a contaminated-soil problem that costs far more than any tank.
Salisbury isn't just the village itself. We regularly work the rural roads around it, from Colpitts Settlement and Little River out toward Fredericton Road, and the properties along Route 106 and Route 112. Long laneways, tanks set well back from the road, and fills the delivery truck can barely reach are all normal out here, and none of it is a problem for us. Just mention the access when you call and we'll come prepared.
Farm properties bring their own wrinkles. Some places have more than one tank, an old furnace tank in a shop or barn, or a tank that hasn't been used in years but still has fuel sitting in it. Older farmsteads sometimes have a buried tank nobody's thought about since the seventies. If you suspect one, our buried tank removal service covers locating it, removing it, and documenting the work.
Selling a rural property? Buyers' lawyers and insurers ask about oil tanks more than they used to. Getting an unused tank removed before listing, with paperwork in hand, saves headaches at closing.
If your insurance company sent a letter saying your tank is too old to cover, you're not alone. Most insurers in New Brunswick set an age limit on oil tanks, often somewhere between 10 and 25 years depending on the tank type, and they'll give you a deadline to replace it or lose coverage. It feels urgent because it is, but it's also a routine job for us and there's no need to panic.
For a straightforward outdoor tank swap in Salisbury, we'll give you a firm written price before any work starts, and the quote costs you nothing. Our oil tank replacement cost guide walks through typical CAD price ranges and what pushes a job up or down, like relocating the tank or dealing with tricky access. Removal of the old tank is part of the conversation from the start, so there are no surprise add-ons.
Once you approve the quote, most replacements are booked within days and finished in a day. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect so your heat is only off for a few hours, which matters when it's minus twenty out.
No. Salisbury is inside our regular service area, about twenty minutes down Route 2 or Route 106 from our Moncton base. Estimates are free and in writing, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Almost always, yes. Insurance letters usually give a few weeks' notice, and most Salisbury replacements are quoted within a day or two and completed in a single visit. Call (506) 802-3471 with the letter in hand and we'll work back from your deadline.
Outdoor tanks are common around Salisbury and they're fine when they're set up right. What matters most is a stable base, legs in good shape, and a tank designed for outdoor use, such as a double-bottom steel or fibreglass model. When we replace a tank we set it up for the exposure it'll actually face, not for a sheltered basement.
Don't dig it up yourself, and don't ignore it either, since a forgotten tank can leak slowly for years. We can locate the tank, confirm whether it still holds fuel, and remove it properly with documentation for your insurer or a future sale. Our buried oil tank removal page explains how the process works.
