We’ve gotten pretty good at working in tight spots as you can see. This tank had corroded so severely that the top completely caved in. The bottom, however, was in pretty good shape.

Good thing we removed it before it overflowed!

I think it’s fair to say that our consulting and tank removal saved the property transaction on this one.

With this tank removal, the buyer and seller decided that some contaminated soil removal was a good idea. You can see that despite conducting a larger excavation scope of work with 2 machines, the yard damage was minimal. After a season of grass growing, you won’t be able to tell that we were there.

Despite being 60 years old, this tank did not leak. Even though a corrosion hole was discovered, the hole was above the fuel level in the tank. This tank was removed just in time. Over time, other corrosion holes lower on the tank would develop causing a fuel leak.

Usually if there is an aboveground oil tank at an older house, it's because first there was an underground oil tank that started leaking. That’s what happened here.

The owners didn’t know they had an underground oil tank, but the fuel supply lines in the half basement betrayed the other tank. Knowing the direction that the fuel supply lines exited the basement, it didn’t take long to find the underground oil tank.

Let us inspect “your” property before you buy or sell. Surprises right before closing can ruin real estate transactions. And surprises after you bought the house can be costly.

Oil tank removal in Onslow County. This tank was very close to the house but it was not deeply buried so the removal did not threaten the house foundation.
