Superior’s approach to tank removal for PA & NJ homes & businesses.

Above Ground Tank Removal in NJ & PA – Outside, Garage, Basement & Crawlspace Tanks

  • We will visit your home or business to determine what measures need to be to be taken in order to remove your tank safely.
  • We will apply for local permits if the municipality requires them.
  • We will schedule a date and time to complete the job.
  • When we arrive, we will pump out any remaining oil left in the tank.
  • We will then remove the tank from the building in one piece, if possible. If this isn’t possible, the tank will be cut open and the sludge will be cleaned out and disposed of, then we will cut the tank into manageable pieces that can be removed from the premises.
  • We will disconnect and remove all fill and vent pipes. If removing these pipes leaves a hole in the wall we will patch it with concrete.
  • The area where the tank was will be swept clean of all debris.

Underground Tank Removal in NJ & PA

It is important to know that most underground storage tanks will last between 10 and 50 years. This figure depends mostly on soil conditions and the construction of the tank. If these underground tanks are left in place too long they are at risk for failure, which could contaminate the property and cause the property owner thousands of dollars to clean up. This is why it makes sense to remove your underground tank for replacement or tank cleaning services.

  • We will visit your home or business in NJ determine what measures need to be to be taken in order to remove your underground tank safely.
  • We will apply for local permits if the municipality requires them.
  • We will call and have all underground utilities marked out.
  • We will schedule a date and time to complete the job.
  • When we arrive, we will pump out any remaining product left in the tank.
  • We will cover your lawn with plywood to minimize any damage from our construction equipment.
  • We will expose the top of the tank, cut it open, and clean it.
  • The tank will then be removed.
  • We will screen the soil below the tank to determine if the tank was leaking.
  • We will take a sample of the soil from below the tank (if required) and have it tested for contimants.
  • A closure report will be prepared for you (if required).
  • If the tank was leaking and the ground contamination needs to be cleaned up, that is also a service we offer. Click here or on the remediation tab to find out more.
  • The excavation will be backfilled and topped off with fresh screened topsoil.
  • The topsoil will be left about 6-8 inches above grade because it will settle over time.
