Homeowners often seek to remove an underground oil tank for purposes of soil remediation and other reasons. Working with environmental contractors allows for the removal as well as for ensuring that the environment has not been disrupted at the site of the oil tank.Steve Rich Environmental Contractors is a company that provides an array of services, including removing an oil tank as well as groundwater testing. SREC provides services to the homeowners throughout the New Jersey-New York metropolitan area, including Bergen, Essex, and Union County.
“The crew did a great job removing the tank yesterday,” comments Sandra, a customer. “They will be coming back after soil testing, too.”
Many people want the oil tanks removed in order to sell the home, or when there is the conversion to natural gas. Further, many people have oil tanks within their property and have no idea about the age because the home has been sold and purchased many times. This warrants an investigation, followed by tank removal. Often, removing the tank is what will help with home inspections.
Working with a professional is suggested as one of the best options for tank removal in NJ. It ensures that there are no issues with disrupting the land and the soil will be tested to see if oil has leeched into the ground. From there, it is possible to provide an array of services to neutralize the soil so that there are no future problems to deal with.
“Our staff will help with the entire process, including acquiring permits and obtaining the utility mark outs. We will then have experienced personnel come out and remove the tank,” comments a spokesperson for the company. The permits take approximately four days to obtain and the personnel will be on premises for around four to five hours. Once the tank is removed, many customers enjoy peace of mind knowing that it is no longer near their home.
A “Happy New Year” special is currently being offered through January 31 where homeowners will be able to save $100 off of the removal of their oil tank. This makes it easier for people to afford the environmental service. It also eliminates the possibility of corrosion, oil spills, or leaks in the future.
