Residential oil tank removal is the process of safely and effectively removing an oil tank from a residential property. Oil tanks are commonly used to store heating oil for residential heating systems, but over time, they can deteriorate, leak, or become obsolete, creating a hazard to the environment and to the health of the occupants of the home.

The oil tank removal process typically involves several steps. First, the oil tank is drained and cleaned to remove any remaining oil or sludge. Then, the tank is cut open and inspected for leaks or damage. If leaks are detected, contaminated soil may need to be removed and disposed of appropriately.

Next, the oil tank is disconnected from the heating system and removed from the property. Specialized equipment, such as cranes or heavy machinery, may be used to safely remove the tank, and any remaining pipes or connections are capped or sealed to prevent any further release of oil or contaminants.
