Doesn’t oil come from the ground?
Why should the insurance companies be on the hook for this?
Back in the day, insurance companies wrote riders on the home owner’s policies. My neighbor across the road from me back when I lived in Middlesex County had this policy, and her tank did leak, she had the home since the 70’s and paid an additional $10 a year for the policy in the 80’s for oil tank coverage. In 2002 when she decided to sell, it was discovered her oil tank was leaking and she had to clean it up, they ended up taking up her front yard and the front yard of another neighbor’s. Cost $150K but she did not have to pay a single penny since she had the insurance.
Best decision she ever made.
