Heating Oil Clean-ups

Residential Heating Oil Spill

Finished footers and excavation west side

Location: Guthriesville, PA
Summary: After a national restoration company failed to clean up a home damaged by the rupture of a full heating oil tank in the home’s basement, Brickhouse characterized and successfully remediated the home to pre-spill conditions.

Tank Seam Rupture

Location: Pottsville, PA
Summary: An overfilled heating oil tank resulted in the release of a substantial amount of No. 2 fuel oil to the soils immediately adjacent to a family’s home. As a result, fuel oil seeped through the basement wall, and fumes were spread throughout the house by the forced-air heating system.

Groundwater Investigation

Location: Belvidere, NJ

Fuel Oil Spill - Home Basement

Location: Bryn Mawr, PA
Summary: During a heating oil delivery, an overfilled heating oil tank burst in the basement of a vacationing family, resulting in a spill of over 300 gallons of oil. A substantial amount of oil was collected in the French drain and sump, and discharged to the storm sewer, which flowed to a nearby stream. The French drain also allowed oil to accumulate and spread beneath the entire basement floor slab. Heating oil also seeped into the basement walls, and fumes were spread throughout the house by the forced-air heating system.

Fuel Oil Spill - Day Care Center

Location: Day Care Center, Temple Hills, MD
Summary: A fuel oil supplier mistakenly delivered heating oil to an abandoned tank system at this day care center. Fuel oil spilled onto the basement floor and onto the soil outside the house, beneath the fill and vent pipes.

Michael, I am so pleased with the response time, and thoughtfulness of your effort and Brickhouse in general. I wasted a LOT of time with other environmental companies. I guess it’s never too late. I plan on working for another 20+ years. Both you and Doug have been fantastic.
