Underground Oil Tank Removal in Fords, NJ
Underground heating oil tanks can become a concern for homeowners, especially during a property sale or when an older tank is no longer in use. On this project, our crew excavated the tank area, exposed the 550-gallon tank and removed it from the property so the site could be properly evaluated.
Simple Tank Services performs oil tank removal throughout New Jersey, including jobs where access, site conditions or nearby structures require an experienced excavation crew.
Soil Testing After Oil Tank Removal
Once an underground tank is removed, the surrounding soil can be evaluated for signs of a release. Soil testing is an important part of determining whether the property can move forward toward closure or whether additional environmental work may be necessary.
