Heating oil can be highly hazardous – it is toxic to humans, plants, and animals, as well as extremely flammable. The utmost caution should always be exercised when removing an old oil tank from your home to ensure there are no leaks, spills, or other accidents that can result in property or environmental damage. There are many regulations regarding the proper removal and disposal of oil tanks. If you need an old oil tank removed, the best thing to do is to call in a professional for assistance. At Ace Oil Tank Replacement, we offer expedient and safe oil tank removal in Springfield, MA  to provide you with peace of mind.

 

The Removal Process

Our team will handle all aspects of your oil tank removal from start to finish. This means you don’t need to worry if there is some leftover oil in your tank. We can help you safely extract all remaining oil from your tank, as well as remove and dispose of any sludge that may have built up at the bottom. Once your tank has been emptied of all potentially hazardous substances, we will cut and remove the pipes from the foundation. The tank will then be removed from your property and taken to the appropriate facilities for disposal.

 

Oil Tank Disposal

Even after an oil tank has been drained and cleaned, it will still contain dangerous contaminants and pollutants that will harm the environment. For this reason, old oil tanks cannot simply be brought to a landfill or other standard solid waste station. Our company ensures that your old storage tank will be taken to a facility that is approved for hazardous waste, where it will be treated and recycled properly.

 

Cost to Remove an Oil Tank

The cost to remove an old oil tank will range between $3500-$4500. The reason for this discrepancy is because there are a number of factors that affect how much work will be required to safely remove an old storage tank from your property. Aboveground oil tanks are much more difficult to remove, and are therefore much more costly to get rid of. On the other hand, the cost to remove an aboveground oil tank typically falls between $300-$1000. The size of your oil tank is also another important factor in determining cost.

 

Soil Testing and Remediation

In addition to removing your old oil tank, our experts will also perform a soil test to determine if the ground around your tank has been contaminated. It is important to determine if any heating oil has leaked into the soil around your property, as this can have severe consequences for the health your family and neighbors, soil quality, and property value. If the test reveals that your soil is contaminated, you will need to take steps to remediate the problem. Our team at Ace Oil Tank Replacement will work with you to ensure that every step of the removal is carried out properly to reduce the risk of possible spills and contaminations for your peace of mind.
