Why tanks are common in Caulfeild
Caulfeild is one of West Vancouver's older established pockets, a quiet, heavily treed neighbourhood around Caulfeild Park and the cove, with the Pilot House among its landmarks. Its homes largely date from the decades when oil was the standard heat source, so most started on oil from a buried steel tank. When the area converted to gas, those tanks were usually filled and left in the ground. The forested setting has kept the neighbourhood's older character intact, and along with it the aging tanks that surface when these Caulfeild homes come up for sale.
Working on Caulfeild lots
Caulfeild lots are forested and often sloping, with mature trees and roots to work around, so access and reinstatement shape the job. That gets factored into the fixed-price quote, and we work to keep the disruption to your property small. If a tank did leak, we scan, test, quote and manage the cleanup to provincial standards.
The permit side
