Getting your underground oil tank removed: What to Expect

If you have an underground oil tank that needs to be removed, you’re probably wondering what to expect. It can be a confusing process, but don’t worry! We’re here to help. In this blog post, we will outline the entire process of underground oil tank removal. We’ll answer all of your questions and help you understand what to expect from start to finish. Let’s get started!

First: A contractor will survey your situation.

Before any work can begin, the contractor will need to survey your property and assess the situation. They will determine the best way to remove the tank and replace it with an above ground oil tank.

Second: The contractor will excavate the area around the tank.

The next step is to excavate the area around the tank. This involves digging a hole around the tank so that it can be removed.

Third: The contractor will remove the tank.

The next step is to actually remove the tank from the ground. This requires heavy equipment and careful maneuvering. This is probably the part of the process that makes homeowners the most anxious. A skilled professional knows how to maneuver the machinery to be “in and out” as easily as possible.

Fourth: The contractor will clean up the area.

Once the tank has been removed, the contractor will clean up the area. This includes removing any debris and filling in the hole left behind by the excavating process.

Fifth: The contractor will install the new above ground oil tank.

Finally, the contractor will install the new above ground oil tank. This is typically a much simpler process than removing an underground tank.

And that’s it! The entire process should take about a week, from start to finish. Of course, there may be some slight variations depending on your specific situation. But this is the basic outline of what to expect when getting an underground oil tank removed.
