1000 Gallon Oil Tank Abandonment

This homeowner was at a loss regarding what to do with this tank when he called us. Inside this home’s garage (and under this boat) is a 1000 gallon oil tank.

Due to the limited access it was decided to abandon this tank. We began by tarping off the area and adding ventilation to control the inevitable dust that would be created when we saw cut the cement.

After cutting the cement we then utilized a jackhammer to break up the cement. After the cement was removed we dug down just over 2 feet to the top of the oil tank. The top of the tank was cut off and our crew entered the tank to clean and inspect it.

A soil sample was collected underneath the oil tank by drilling a hole through the bottom of it. We field screened the soil to confirm no contamination was present then arranged for an inspection by the building department.

The following day we backfilled the tank after the inspection was completed by adding 10 tons of stone via wheelbarrow and then repaired the cement.

Basement Oil Tank Removal

Someone bought this house and asked us to remove the oil tank in the basement. We found this was written against the side of it that was facing the wall and inaccessible to us. “Do Not Use. Tank has gasoline in it!” Why anyone would think it was a good idea to repurpose an old gas tank as a fuel oil tank is beyond us.

Underground Oil Tank Removal: 1000 Gallon Tank and Trees!

We were expecting a 500 gallon tank, but it turned out to be a 1000 gallon tank. Since the tank was longer, it went further than expected. We found trees growing over top and alongside the tank, which prevented us from extracting it without risking the trees hitting the house.

The tank had to be removed due to a pending real estate transaction, so we opted to empty the tank and clean it, then put the job on hold while waiting for the trees to be removed.

Fortunately, a nearby neighbor had a tree service and free time. He was able to come over and drop the trees that afternoon. Our client called us later in the day, updated us about the trees, and asked when we could return to continue.

Since we were close by we loaded up our equipment and returned to the jobsite and completed the tank removal on the same day.
