Know the price up front, follow the proper process, and finish with the paperwork you need.
We locate the tank, look at access to the yard or driveway and explain what the township will need. You get a flat-rate price in writing, not an open-ended estimate that grows once the digging starts.
We pull the township permit, schedule the inspection, then excavate, clean and haul the tank away. The inspector sees the tank and the excavation before anything is backfilled.
If the tank passes, the hole is backfilled and compacted and you keep the documents for your records. If it fails, we walk you through every option for closing the NJDEP case, not only the most expensive one.

Township permit, excavation, cleaning and disposal of your underground heating oil tank, with the inspection handled on site and a fixed price agreed before we dig.
Soil samples taken around a buried tank that is still in the ground, so buyers and sellers know whether it has leaked before anyone signs a contract.

Answers to the questions we hear most from New Jersey homeowners, buyers and sellers about buried heating oil tanks.
We are based in Verona and work throughout North and Central New Jersey, including Essex, Passaic, Morris, Bergen, Union, Hudson, Middlesex and Somerset counties. Towns we visit often include Montclair, West Orange, Livingston, Wayne, Edison, Woodbridge and Jersey City.
Common clues are a fill pipe or vent pipe sticking out of the lawn or beside the foundation, capped copper lines coming through the basement wall, or a house that was heated with oil before a gas conversion. A tank sweep by a home inspector or a quick site visit will confirm it.
State rules do not force every homeowner to remove an unused residential tank, but many insurers, lenders and buyers will not move forward while one is in the ground. Removing it on your schedule is usually cheaper and calmer than doing it under a closing deadline.
The township inspector notes it, the discharge is reported to the NJDEP and a case number is issued. That starts a process, not an automatic dig-out. Soil sampling shows how far any contamination goes, and we explain the options for closing the case.
Yes. Tank removal, soil testing and soil remediation are quoted at a fixed price in writing, so you know your number before you sign.
