Using a M2-Scope metal detector, West Coast Tank Recovery will search your property to determine if an underground oil tank is present. The fee for this service is $ 75. If no tank is found on your property, the cost to provide the compliance letter required by municipal authorities is $25. This $100.00 fee will be waived if an oil tank is discovered and West Coast Tank Recovery is awarded the removal contract.
