Oil Tank Insurance
Protect yourself against major expenses caused by a defective oil tank. Most home insurance policies do not include oil tank insurance. Do not get stuck with exorbitant clean-up costs!
Residential Oil Tank Insurance in New Jersey
Most home insurance policies do not offer oil tank protection. Homeowner’s insurance policies will not cover the costs associated with a leaking heating oil tank when the environmental damage only impacts your property. This can be a serious issue, as a leaking oil tank will likely require a costly cleanup. However, separate oil tank insurance policies can provide coverage in these cases.
Don’t get stuck with exorbitant clean-up costs. The average cost for cleaning up environmental damage from a leaking heating oil tank is $8,000 and can well exceed $100,000 in some cases.
Oil Tank Coverage Plans
In order to protect yourself from the potential financial burden of a leaking heating oil tank, it’s important to have an oil tank coverage plan.

The home I am buying has an active in-use underground tank and the owner has a valid oil tank insurance policy. Is it still necessary to perform tank inspections and test the oil tank for leaks?
Absolutely yes! Many realtors and attorneys advise home buyers that testing underground oil tanks is not necessary if the seller has tank insurance. However, many home buyers do not realize that they will expose themselves to increased risk of environmental liability by not testing oil tanks before their purchase. Read the exclusions! Tank insurance will only honor claims if there is a release of fuel from the tank, which is almost never the case with piping or top tank leaks. Also, there are typically deductibles required to be paid if a claim is submitted and the insurance adjuster can deny claims by simply claiming the leak existed prior to the date of the insurance policy.
