Some tanks are so corroded that they tear a part like a wet paper bag!

This is why it is so important to wash out all of the petroleum sludge and pump the tank completely empty before you even slightly move the tank. This requires experience and careful technique.

The last thing you want is the tank remover to cause a contamination leak that wasn't there before.

Since 2001, we've been removing tanks in southeastern North Carolina.

Non-leaking oil tanks are getting harder and harder to find! These thin bare steel tanks have been corroding underground for 60 to 70 years, well beyond their life expectancy. Over 90% of underground oil tanks have leaked and require action to meet State requirements.

At this property, a porch was going to be built over part of the brick patio but other parts of the patio were going to remain in place. Careful planning and precision excavation allowed us to carefully remove the tank leaving most of the brick patio in tact.
