A basement tank pick-up project was recently completed in Rahway, NJ, involving the removal of an existing 275-gallon oil tank from inside a residential basement. Because the tank was located within the home, the project required careful preparation, proper handling, and attention to the available basement access points.
The Project: A 275-Gallon Basement Tank
The homeowner had an existing tank in the basement that needed to be picked up and removed. This 275-Gallon Basement Tank Pick-Up required attention to the basement layout and the available access points. The goal was to prepare the tank properly and remove it in manageable sections without unnecessary disruption to the surrounding area.
The Solution: Careful Tank Preparation and Removal
The project began with preparing the tank for handling.
Pump-Out
Any remaining oil and residue inside the tank were pumped out before the tank was handled.
Tank Cleaning
The tank interior was cleaned to remove remaining sludge and oil residue, preparing it for the next stage of the work.
Cutting and Removal
Where needed, the tank was cut into manageable sections. This allowed the pieces to be handled more easily and moved through the available basement access area.
Site Check
Once the tank was removed, the work area was checked to make sure the basement area was clear and the project was properly completed.
