Underground Tank Burial in North Idaho and Spokane
Burying a propane tank or cistern clears up your yard and protects the tank from weather and damage. Stone Fox Construction excavates and installs underground propane tanks, water cisterns, and storage tanks across Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Rathdrum, Athol, Spokane, and the surrounding area.
What's included
Excavation to the depth and size your tank requires. Sand or approved bedding under and around the tank. Coordinating the tank set with your propane supplier or tank provider. Trenching for the supply line to the house. Backfill in lifts and final grading so the area drains away from the tank dome.
How we do it
Underground tanks have specific bedding and clearance requirements, and propane suppliers often have their own installation specs. We coordinate with your supplier before we dig, prepare the hole and bedding to their requirements, and schedule the set so the tank isn't sitting on your property waiting. Our excavators can handle rock with a hydraulic breaker when needed.
Frequently asked questions
Why bury a propane tank?
Buried tanks free up yard space, look cleaner, and are protected from weather and impact. Many homeowners bury tanks when building a new home.
Who supplies the tank?
Usually your propane company supplies and sets the tank and we excavate, bed, and backfill. We work with whichever supplier you choose.
Can you install a water cistern?
Yes. We excavate and set cisterns and can trench the supply lines at the same time.
