Understanding ProGuard Tank Protection and How It Safeguards Your Home
Common Issue
Hassle-free Solution
What does Underground Oil Tank Coverage include?
ProGuard's Underground Oil Tank Coverage helps protect your critical home system from expensive leaks and messy failures. Our plan covers:
- Support for claims management and cleanup coordination
- Help with tank replacements
- Groundwater contamination
What is a voluntary pull?
Voluntary Pull; also referred to as voluntary tank removal, replacement, or abandonment; means taking your fuel oil tank out of service — whether to inspect it, replace it with a new one, or permanently remove it. This must be done without prior knowledge of a leak or issue with the tank. This coverage is available after you’ve had a Service Agreement for at least 12 consecutive months. This option helps homeowners avoid environmental damage and can be beneficial when planning to sell a home or upgrade their system.
What is no voluntary pull protection?
No voluntary pull protection means a homeowner waives the option to remove an underground tank voluntarily. The tank can then only be removed if a suspected release is detected.
What are the requirements to have my tank removed?
To qualify for removal under voluntary pull protection:
- A new oil tank must be installed, connected, and ready for use.
- ProGuard must be notified at least 3 business days before scheduling removal.
- An approved ProGuard contractor must complete the removal or abandonment.
- A $500 service fee, the cost associated with onsite representation and monitoring, must be paid.
If there is a leak, the $500 fee goes toward the $3,500 deductible, with the remaining $3,000 balance due before cleanup begins.
My tank is in my basement. Is it an Underground or Aboveground Tank?
Underground Tanks are buried; Aboveground Tanks include those in basements and below the main level of your home. If you're unsure, call us at (888) 354-0677!
What happens if my underground tank is found to be leaking during my tank removal?
ProGuard offers coverage for voluntary tank removals that cover cleanup and tank replacement costs! Simply select Voluntary Pull Protection on your renewal form. If you have any questions, your ProGuard Claims Representative will walk you through everything!
