Do not delay in contacting The Oil Tank Doc if you are based in Northern Ireland and you suspect an oil spill/leakÂ
 If there’s a strong smell of oil in your home, ventilate the area by opening windows and doors and contact the environmental health department at your local authority for advice.
 Keep children and pets away from any spills.
 Avoid getting oil on your skin and clothing.
 Wash your hands and don’t smoke, eat or drink when or after you are in contact with the oil.
 Switch off your oil supply at the tank.
 Try to find out where the leak is coming from.
 Immediately, try to stop it at the source. Put a bucket under dripping oil to catch it (don’t use containers that will be used to store food for humans or animals).
 Prevent spilled oil from spreading and, in particular, prevent it from getting into drains and waterways. Use absorbing material such as earth, sand, cat litter or commercial products.
 If there’s an ongoing leak from the tank, try to stem the flow. For example, you may be able to use sealant to temporarily repair a metal tank. For plastic tanks, try rubbing a bar of soft soap into the split.
 Try to establish how much oil has been lost; check the level on the tank and think about how much you use and when you last had a delivery
 Never use detergents or a hose to wash the spill away.
 Store anything with oil on it or soaked into it in containers that don’t leak until it can be correctly and
legally disposed of.
Does Home Insurance cover oil tank leaks in Northern Ireland?
Does home insurance cover oil tank leaks? With the correct policy yes you are covered. However, there are circumstances where an insurance claim for an oil spill may be invalid. Different insurance policies have various levels of coverage, and there may be capped limitations on the amount the insurance company will pay towards an oil spill.
The average cost of cleaning up a domestic oil spill is upwards of £30,000, and this cost can increase if the environment or your neighbours’ property/land is also affected. It is essential to ensure that you have the right insurance coverage in place in case your oil tank ever leaks.
