Before buying a home built pre-1970, it’s a good idea to have a detailed oil tank search. Even the old historic homes built in the 1800’s and early 1900’s may have been retrofitted with an underground oil tank in the 1940s, 1950s or 1960s. It was more convenient that heating with wood or coal.

Here is another oil tank that was hard to get to without damaging the concrete sidewalks and landscape edging. The tank was also partially under the concrete patio which required very careful removal actions. Despite being immediately beside the oil tank, the fig tree was not harmed during the tank removal. Mission accomplished!

To remove this tank several small bushes had to be removed and replanted. No problem! Tank out, bushes happy, house sold!

We remove aboveground oil tanks too! ASTs (aboveground storage tanks) can also leak over time and they look bad particularly when you are not using them anymore. We pump, clean the interior, and dispose of them, turnkey! Our professionally sealed report documents that you did everything properly.

Tank removals in the downtown historic district (Wilmington) have unique challenges, mostly tight spaces and logistics. This tank was leaking through multiple large corrosion holes. Once the tank was brought into compliance (proper removal and paperwork), the State issued a “No Further Action” letter closing the incident.

At the property owners request, we conducted some additional yard grading to prevent water from draining to the garage.
