Underground Oil Tank Removal Services in North Jersey

Old oil tanks are hiding all over North Jersey. Is one on your property?

Thousands of older homes still have buried tanks that can leak, contaminate soil, and stall closings. We take care of everything — fast, clean, and by the book.

If you’re a homeowner or realtor in northern New Jersey, it’s crucial to understand the risks of aging underground oil tanks. Many homes built before the 1980s were heated with oil, and buried tanks—especially those that were never removed—may now be rusting, leaking, or contaminating the soil. Whether you’re selling a home in Clifton, buying in Ridgewood, or closing on a property in Montclair, an old oil tank can cause serious delays, environmental concerns, and costly cleanup requirements.

The NJDEP’s updated regulations, including the so-called “dirty dirt” law, require strict testing and documentation. We provide professional tank sweeps, soil testing, remediation, and NJDEP-compliant certification. Need help fast? We also offer emergency oil tank removal and support for real estate closings.

Looking for soil testing near me? Wondering if there’s an old tank on your property? Call now for a free estimate — we’ll walk you through every step and get the job done right.
