"They did and excellent job in removing a 550 gallon oil tank. The only issue I had was that Sal told me that they would not charge me for removing the clean oil in the tank, only the sludge. But then they charged me for removing every gallon of oil in the tank. That was disappointing. End of the day, my tank is gone and they handled the job well."

"I hired Superior to remove a tank that had oil in it. They removed the oil amd cleaned the tank thoroughly before they removed it there was not a drop of oil anywhere. My father noted that even the truck was clean and professional in appearance. These people (Superior) know their business I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for water or fuel tank remove projects in Scotch Plains, NJ

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.
