7 Benefits of Underground Gas Tanks for Homes

Gas tank owners who store their tanks have two options. They can either store their tank aboveground or underground.

For homeowners in Saudi,  we suggest storing your tank underground.

To help you see why you should store your Gas tank underground, we are providing you with a list describing 7 benefits of underground Gas tanks.

1. They Are Landscape Friendly
One benefit of having an underground Gas tank is that it won’t mess up the lawn of your house. This is because underground Gas tanks are buried underground and thus, do not affect the aboveground lawn for very long.

At most, you will need to plant a little bit of new grass. Otherwise, your lawn will essentially go back to the way it was before you had the Gas tank installed.

2. They Are Safe
Because underground Gas tanks are not exposed to the elements of the outside world, they are less likely to have a leak than aboveground tanks. As a result, underground Gas tanks are safer in the long run.

Besides, if for some reason there is a gas leak in an underground Gas tank, the gas will stay within the soil underneath the ground. This is great news since underground Gas tanks use clean fuel. This ensures that the fuel will not harm the local water or soil.

Underground Gas tanks are also safer than aboveground Gas tanks because they are sealed underground. Therefore, the fuel cannot escape into the air and cause a fire. In fact, the installation of any underground Gas tank meets the National Fire Protection Association standards.

3. They Increase Your Home’s Value
Underground Gas tanks are not visible to people looking out at your home, nor do they mess up the lawn. Therefore, in terms of homes with Gas tanks, underground Gas tanks increase the value of homes. This is especially true since most people want to buy houses with underground Gas tanks.

Thus, even though your Gas tank budget has to be higher to purchase an underground Gas tank, you will save money in the long run.

4. They Require Little to No Installation and Maintenance Work From You
Having an underground Gas tank makes life easy on you as a homeowner.

This is because the retailer that sold you the tank will send out technicians and professionals to handle all the installation and maintenance work on the tank over the course of the entire tank’s life.

This means that you barely have to lift a finger when it comes to your underground Gas tank.

This is unlike the installation and maintenance process of an aboveground Gas tank in which you would have to perform some administrative tasks for the Gas tank company prior to them installing the tank at your home.

For example, you would have to get all the necessary permits ahead of time. You would also have to make any necessary arrangements and conduct all safety checks prior to the excavation part of the installation process. 

Another administrative task that you would have to do prior to the installation of an aboveground Gas tank is to measure the distance of space between where the expected Gas tank will be and everything else.

You must do this to make sure that you are meeting all the Gas tank distancing requirement rules.

If your home has a septic tank, you may also need to have your septic company dig a hole for your underground Gas tank to go into.

Not contacting your septic company prior to having an underground installation tank installed could cause the Gas delivery equipment to run over the septic tank. This could cause costly damage to your home. 

5. They Do Not Take Long to Install
The installation time for an underground propane tank is only 3 -4 hours. This is not a long time at all to install Gas tanks.

The fact that you do not have to physically help install the underground Gas tank during those 3 -4 hours makes the installation time past by even quicker. 

6. They Are In a Temperature Environment That Makes Them Function Better
Being underground allows underground Gas tanks to function at a high level even in the winter. This is because the earth warms underground Gas tanks up during the wintertime. This is unlike aboveground Gas tanks that have to learn how to function while being exposed to the elements of freezing winters.

7. They Are Eco-Friendly
Because underground Gas tanks use clean, green fuel, underground Gas tanks are better for the environment than aboveground Gas tanks. Therefore, you do not have to feel guilty about digging through the ground to put your propane tank in it.
