We looked at this tank 10 years ago, but the owners decided not to sell the house and not to invest in removing the tank. Now in 2026: the property is for sale and the buyers forced the tank removal. The property owner remembered us and asked us to remove the tank and bring it into State compliance so that the house could be sold. So, we did!

This underground oil tank was used at a rural residential property until a previous owner switched to an aboveground oil tank. After removing the underground tank, it was clear to see why the switch was made. The holes in the underground oil tank were large and numerous. Nevertheless, we were able to bring the leaking tank into compliance with all State requirements. The State’s “No Further Action” letter will help the owners to sell the house in the future.

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.
