About Oil Tank Removal Locator
We're on a mission to connect homeowners, real estate professionals, and property managers with qualified oil tank removal contractors across America.
Our Story
Oil Tank Removal Locator was founded with a simple observation: finding a qualified oil tank removal contractor shouldn't be so difficult. Whether you're a homeowner discovering a buried tank during a real estate transaction, or a real estate agent who needs a reliable contractor recommendation, the search process was fragmented and frustrating.
We built this directory to solve that problem—creating the most comprehensive resource for oil tank services in the United States.
What We Do
Our directory connects you with contractors who offer:
- Tank Sweeps & Detection: Using ground-penetrating radar and other methods to locate buried tanks
- Underground Tank Removal: Safe excavation and removal of buried oil storage tanks
- Above-Ground Tank Removal: Decommissioning and removal of visible tanks
- Soil Testing: Environmental testing to detect contamination
- Remediation: Cleanup and restoration when contamination is found
- Permit Assistance: Navigating local regulations and compliance requirements
Why It Matters
Underground oil storage tanks were commonly installed throughout the 20th century, particularly in the Northeast. Many of these tanks are now decades old, corroded, and potentially leaking. The environmental and financial consequences can be severe:
- Soil and groundwater contamination affecting property value
- Cleanup costs ranging from $10,000 to over $100,000
- Legal liability transferring to new property owners
- Failed real estate transactions due to undisclosed tanks
By making it easy to find qualified contractors, we help protect both the environment and property owners from these risks.
