An oil leak can cause serious and costly damage to your home, garden, and environment. If you’ve discovered a heating oil leak in your garden or a heating oil leak in your house, it’s important to act quickly — not only to stop the leak, but to protect your property and ensure your insurance claim is handled correctly.
At HKP Loss Assessors, we specialise in managing oil leak damage insurance claims from start to finish, ensuring you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to for home heating oil leak damage repair costs.
1. Heating Oil Leak in the Garden
A heating oil leak in the garden often occurs when underground supply pipes or outdoor oil tanks deteriorate over time. The escaping oil can contaminate soil and groundwater, requiring professional clean-up and remediation. We arrange environmental specialists to clean up a domestic home heating oil leak safely and in line with regulations.
2. Heating Oil Leak in the House
An internal heating oil leak in the house can damage floors, walls, and concrete foundations, as well as leave lingering odours. Our team assesses the full extent of the damage and manages the entire repair process, including decontamination and reinstatement works.
This is a common failure point and can cause gradual leaks that go unnoticed until the smell of oil becomes apparent.
The cost of repairing or replacing a damaged tank varies depending on its age, location, and accessibility. We help document and include these costs in your insurance claim.
