What Is ProGuard Insurance?
                     What Is ProGuard Insurance?
ProGuard tank protec6tion is insurance 
protecting active oil tanks on properties 
through their oil provider. It covers 
aboveground and underground tanks.
A lot of homeowners using oil heat count on 
ProGuard for their oil tank insurance.
If your client or yourself has ProGuard and 
they are wanting to sell their home, there are 
a few things you should be made aware of 
first.
They may want to take the tank out and 
convert to gas, making it more appealing to 
buyers. You may advise them to go ahead and 
remove the oil tank, but that would not be the 
best option.
Do Not Put In The Gas Line
If you or your client gives the go-ahead to put 
in the gas line before pulling the tank out, they 
will have voided their contract with ProGuard. 
All the money that has gone into the insurance 
will be voided. You will want your client to 
thoroughly read through their contract before 
making the switch over to gas.
Call ProGuard
If you have any questions regarding your contract 
or need a clearer picture of what needs to be 
done, call ProGuard and talk to a representative. 
You will need to tell them that you want to do a 
‘voluntary pull’ and what needs to happen to be 
able to have that done within the contract terms 
because you want to sell the property or convert 
to gas. ProGuard will go through the process with 
you. The last thing you want to do is accidentally 
void your contract and lose your money invested.
Should I Switch To Gas?
You or your client will have to have a company 
come in that can conduct soil testing with a 
guarantee. Without the guarantee, you risk 
paying more expenses. Simple Tank can come 
to the home and examine whether or not 
there is contamination.
Your client or you, as the homeowner, need to 
decide then if you really want gas. Simple Tank 
will be able to tell you if the tank is leaking 
and what the price will be. It may not be 
worth it for you or the homeowner to invest in 
switching to gas. If you still want to be covered 
under your insurance with ProGuard, you have 
to stick with oil for twelve months with a 
leaking tank. They will deliver an aboveground 
tank and deliver new oil.
However, if you are facing only a minor 
cleanup due to the leakage, it might be worth 
it to just have Simple Tank pull the tank. 
Simple Tank will be able to assess the damage 
and give you a guarantee on price. Smaller 
cleanups are going to be less expensive. Then, 
you would be able to convert to gas and sell 
the property.
It is important that you or the homeowner 
understands the ramifications of pulling out a 
leaking tank under contract with ProGuard. If 
you want to know the extent of the damage 
and how much soil contamination there is, 
Simple Tank will be able to provide that with 
you before you make your decision.
