Even aboveground tanks (ASTs) need to be cut open and washed out before being recycled. PES conducts full tank removal service with or without professionally sealed documentation.

A recent tank removal and contaminated soil excavation in New Bern, NC. There wasn't a lot of work space, but that is not unusual for an oil tank at a residential property.

The impact foot print looks bigger because we had to feather out extra backfill to level the area that needed attention before we started work.

We were able to remove all of the contaminated soil on all 4 sides walls of the excavation.

Sometimes people build house additions on top of buried oil tanks. What were they thinking???

Regardless, this means that at least part of the supporting footer is or eventually will be compromised. Steel tanks are continually corroding and they will eventually collapse.

To end your legal liability and to protect your house foundation, tanks under house foundations need to cut open so they can be pumped and washed clean. Then the tank should be completely filled with concrete to support the house foundation.

To close a heating oil tank in-place, prior permission is required from the State of North Carolina.

PES can complete this scope of work and help you receive your “No Further Action” letter from the State.

I was in Fayetteville, NC yesterday inspecting tanks. Some will be easier to deal with than others. Lol!

Even small holes can cause big problems over time.
