Underground Oil Tank Removal Services
Tadco conducts comprehensive integrity testing (volumetric and non-volumetric) of underground oil storage tanks (UST) and above ground tanks. We utilize innovative methods and equipment for tank removal in New Jersey, adhering to the NJDEP and Federal EPA standards.
What is an Underground Storage Tank (UST)?
Whether you’re a property owner or buying/selling a home, one of the most concerning issues is when the property has an underground oil storage tank (UST).
Factors affecting USTs include:
- Wall thickness
- Surrounding water table
- Soil acidity
- Age
- Underground electrical currents
Why Remove Underground Oil Storage Tanks?
If a UST remains in adverse conditions for an extended period of time, it may corrode or leak. This leads to the release of petroleum products into the surrounding soil and/or groundwater. If left undetected, this may lead to costly clean-up operations.
If the underground storage tank is suspected to be leaking, Tadco will collect preliminary soil testing samples to assess the extent and location of petroleum product release. We’ll then conduct oil tank testing & removal, soil/groundwater remediation, and clean filling environmental services at the property.
Why Trust Tadco?
Over the years, Tadco has emerged as a New Jersey leader in underground oil storage tank removals. Additionally, we offer remediation & environmental cleanup support to Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs).
In order to assess the need for proper closure or abandonment and to avoid environmental hazards or leakage, municipalities, insurance companies, and mortgage companies require a tank certification. Tadco partners with these stakeholders in every step of the process, from the initial consultation through to the tank removal and cleanup.
