In this Tank TV case study, Simple Tank Services tackles a difficult-access underground oil tank removal where the possibility of a leak and soil contamination had to be evaluated carefully.
Project Overview
- Location: New Jersey
- Services: Tight-access oil tank removal, soil sampling, and contamination evaluation
- Episode Focus: Oil Tank Removal Bridge Building – Part I
- Contractor: Simple Tank Services
What Happened on This Project
The crew had to maneuver equipment through a narrow access area and temporarily modify a fence post to reach the backyard excavation. Once the tank area was exposed, the next concern was whether a release had affected the surrounding soil.
Soil samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. While awaiting the results, the potentially impacted areas were protected so the site could be managed safely and the next step could be based on actual data rather than assumptions.
Why This Matters for New Jersey Homeowners
When a tank appears to have leaked, sampling helps determine whether remediation is actually required and how large the cleanup scope may need to be. That information is especially important when a real-estate transaction or construction schedule depends on getting a clear answer quickly.
