Underground Storage Tank Removal
The entire tank and related piping are removed from the ground. Removal of your underground oil storage tank from the perspective of a home buyer has become the method of preference.
Soil Testing
Soil testing provides an analysis of the soil surrounding your tank and is a reflection of the integrity of the tank itself. Realtors, you, homebuyers– everyone wants peace of mind; soil testing provides it.
Soil and Water Remediation
Sometimes during the course of tank removal or tank abandonment, it is found that the tank has leaked. When this happens, our qualified staff at Anderson will present a thorough plan for ground or water remediation.
Abandoning Your Oil Tank
Abandoning your tank means leaving your Anderson clean tank underground. After your tank is cleaned and visually inspected, it is filled with inert material and remains in place (provided the tank has maintained it’s structural integrity).
Water Remediation
If it is found that the ground water has been contaminated, NJDEP regulations must be followed. Anderson is certified in these procedures. It is common for the homeowner’s insurance company to become involved if ground water is contaminated, whom Anderson will work with during this phase.

The test is capable of detecting any leakage below or above the liquid level as well as all associated piping. You are provided a preliminary report report the same day and a written report within five business days.
