"Well after having oil heat for my old historical house for 55 years, I decided to get rid of the carbon fuel Removing the oil tank was the second phase of conversion. It was a solid iron above ground, but under back porch. Probably 90 years old. Solid. Pre- removal planning was seamless. Written estimate and basic contract safety rules sent in a timely manner from JS TANK REMOVAL. Day was hot day. Two men came. They went to work operating like a well oiled machine. ( excuse the pun)! They worked through the day, in the hottest part of the sunny day. I supplied lots of ice water to keep them hydrated. They have done hundreds of these removals and it was flawless. I Know the tank was heavy and old. . Solid iron. They siphoned off full tank of oil into big vats on their truck so no oil fumes or oil was visible. Not a drop or dribble anywhere to be seen. I had no idea it was going to be such a clean operation. They knew their business. Photographs sent to building/ compliance inspectors of DC GOV. Everything done by removers was transparent with environmental laws and with DC APPROVALS If removing an ancient oil tank and iron pipes can be thought of as enjoyable, then that was it!! So glad this was done by a great knowledgeable team. Or, it certainly could have been the other way. A nightmarish experience. It was a great job. So, everything completed. No mess. No smell. Holes in brick were cemented where thin pipes and feeds went to burner from tank. All gone. They swept up. Got their check for company and off they went into the alley. The job was done. No stress. A beautiful job by JS TANK REMOVAL. Later that week I followed up with office to say thanks. Also followed up with my new gas heat contractor, JM PLUMBING AND HEATING, who gave referral. I thanked them as well for their recommendations. One excellent heating contractor who advised me about the tank removal company. So happy with my new excellent modern gas system. The tank removal finished that project perfectly."

"We had an above ground oil tank removed from the basement. The staff were professional. They came in and had the project done within a few hours which included removing the remaining oil, cutting the tank and removing the remaining lines. The oil smell was intense, but they had a spray or something that they used to minimize the smell. We are very pleased with the services."

"This was the second plumber we hired to help with a clogged drain in the kitchen. They went above and beyond and fixed the issue the first plumber didn’t! They come and explain what they will do, they do it as cleanly as possible and they explain at the end what they’ve accomplished. I’ve already hired them for a second project (replacing a water heater), and again it was such a great experience! I highly recommend and will be using their services again!"

"This was not an emergency repair, we were fortunate to be able to schedule the replacement about a week in advance. Heil sent an estimator to look at the space and make a recommendation. We originally wanted a Hybrid system but they advised against it given the space and need to collect/vent moisture. We selected a 75 gallon electric water heater. On the scheduled day, They were on time, removed the old water hearter and installed the new one - professional and courteous the whole time. Unfortunately, the new heater leaked the same day. They returned and made a temporary patch until they could return the next day with a replacement part. They returned, replaced the part and after they left we found that the tank leaked again in another place. They returned the next day and before we could insist that we wanted a different tank (clearly an out of the box failure on this one) they said they would replace the tank which they did. Our first, second and third experiences with Heil were all great with customer service and technical expertise. The inconvenience of multiple extra days without hot water and having to be there for four visits was unexpected and unfortunate however Heil responded correctly and made it right. You can get the measure of a company not only when things go right but also how they respond when things go wrong. We would use them again."

"Great job. Very professional. Excellent work. One of the few plumbers who install a water preassurizer. Not only did they remove and discard the old one they also took their shoes off to protect my carpet and cleaned up after they were done. I highly recommend them."

"There was something that was in the drain so that when water was going in one direction it would be fine but if there there was something down the disposal it would flip it and the it would have a clog and they cleared that. They were straight forward, they got the job done proficiently and professionally."

"Steve came to consider the problem and give me an estimate. He seemed very thoughtful and sincere. We agreed on the price and the date when work would start. With no delays, the work started on the agreed-upon date. Steve's brother Dave does the actual deconstruction and puts in the drainage. He has a team of three men, including himself, and they completed the job in 3 days. It may have been the hottest 3 days of the summer but they didn't complain--I couldn't believe how diligent they were. And they didn't "thrash." We've probably all had people working on our homes that made us wonder if the house was going to be standing when they were through. These guys were great--I'd definitely call them professionals. Once they finished, I had a couple items I wanted done a different way. That was no problem. They came back and finished it very much to my satisfaction. Whenever I called the company, I received a call back. I would definitely use Waterproofing, Inc. again but I think my problem is solved. I'm not worried because the company gives a lifetime warranty and I have no doubt that they will stand behind their word.

FAQs for water or fuel tank remove projects in Baltimore, MD

There are several reasons why you might need to remove an oil tank. In some areas, local regulations require tanks to be removed after a certain period. Leaking tanks can pose hazards to drinking water and the environment. Plus, many municipalities won't allow property sales until an inspection confirms the oil tank is safe.

One option for disposing of an oil tank is to have your removal pro take it to a dismantling yard or salvage yard for recycling. If a salvage yard isn’t an option, you can contact a local landfill or a local oil tank removal service for help finding a proper disposal location for your tank. Typically, you’ll need to show there’s no sludge or residue in the tank.

A leaking oil tank reveals itself through increased energy bills and a noticeable oily sheen on water surfaces, which signals a malfunction. You may also experience strong oil odors and observe stained grass and deteriorating vegetation near your property. These clear warning signs demand immediate professional evaluation to protect the environment and secure your property’s safety.

Yes, states mandate soil testing during oil tank removal to detect hazardous pollutants that harm the environment. This testing confirms that no soil contamination exists. Certified specialists collect soil samples to meet regulatory requirements and ensure property safety. Conducting these tests protects water quality and the structure’s integrity while immediately triggering any necessary remediation measures.
