XLG takes care of all your cleaning needs, whatever the type and size of your building. Experts in professional cleaning and maintenance for over 35 years, we offer the following services:

Provision of certificates

Belgian legislation requires a certificate to be provided when a tank is neutralized.

Whether it's the neutralization/removal of an underground tank or the cutting of an overhead tank, we provide all the certificates required by law:

• a certificate of neutralization for an underground tank ;
• an evacuation certificate for an aerial tank.

These certificates state, among other things, the number of liters of residual fuel oil that have been processed at approved centers.

Practical advice

A word of advice: don't do it yourself.

This could be dangerous for several reasons:

1. If you don't use the right tools, they break.
2. If you're not wearing the right PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), accidents can happen.
3. You make a hole in the tank, oil leaks out and your soil is polluted. A soil survey is required, and will cost you a lot more.
4. If you sell your home, you won't be able to give the notary the certificate he asks for.
5. Our teams are trained and specialized for this type of work. Our company is also VCA-certified. This enables us to ensure safety on site.
