"If you need junk removal, these are the guys. We just finished unloading 95% junk from a hoarder house and can't say enough good things about the quality and professionalism of Pablo, team leader. Solid guy and hardest working. Ask for Pablo. Or Michael, who was always fun and so upbeat- non stop hauler. The billing and scheduling was easy too. Top notch company. Totally worth it. You get to order only what you need done. They do everything. It was a MAJOR job that took six full days."

I couldn?t be more pleased: 

  1. Fast -- 1 day to totally remove, prepare, and replace my 3,200+ sq. ft. curved driveway with 2 lifts (i.e., 2 coats of new asphalt -- binder + finish coat).
     
  2. Courteous & clean ? as if it was replaced "by magic" (my neighbors on both sides were very impressed).
  3. Efficient, highly professional, and competent.  I have a lot of experience in construction and watched the project step-by-step (no shortcuts and high quality work with the right equipment for every step).
  4. Price competitive (I had 2 other bids and they were in the middle).

 

Highly recommended.

FAQs for water or fuel tank remove projects in Chicago, IL

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.
