At Quick Environmental, we take the stress of oil tank removal out of your hands.

OIL TANK REMOVAL – NJ & PA

Underground oil storage tanks have been used for heating homes and businesses for decades. However, with more homes switching from oil to natural gas for their heating, more underground oil tanks are being removed. Many municipalities now require the removal of an underground tank as part of any real estate transaction. If not removed, underground oil tanks can create a variety of problems. If the oil tank is thirty years or older, it is most likely constructed from steel which can corrode over time and cause a leak. 

What causes an oil tank to leak? Nearly all fuel oil storage tanks rust from the inside out. Moist air condenses inside the oil tank, contributing to a sludge that accumulates at the bottom. This can lead to internal rust or corrosion, which can cause leaking. Over time, the moist air inside the tank combined with moisture and water in soils surrounding the oil tank will start to rust and corrode the tank. If the bottom of the tank rusts through and the tank’s contents begin to leak into the surrounding soil and groundwater. Outdoor fuel oil storage tanks are even more prone to condensation due to daily temperature changes. Even a very small hole can cause significant soil contamination and contaminate any nearby groundwater source.

Removing your underground oil tank is good for the environment, it can increase property values and is one less thing you need to worry about when you sell your home.

Quick Environmental has safely completed thousands of underground oil tank removals and the vast majority have been structurally sound when removed and passed municipal inspection. In the event an oil tank leak is discovered, we will quickly mobilize our remediation professionals to your site to clean up the contamination from the oil tank leak. Our close ties with insurance companies and the NJDEP combined with our experience in contaminated soil remediation will ensure a successful outcome for you.

What a fantastic job Tirone and Salvadore did with the removal of an unknown tank that was still in pretty good condition( Pittsburg steel)They were easy to communicate with and kept informed throughout. Had gas utility on site due to proximity of rear house gas line and called inspector once it was manuevered out of ground. Just waiting on my paperwork now. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat.Good Luck

Very professional, arrived promptly and performed a thorough scan of the property.
They did the job that they were paid to do, removed an oil tank from a property that I own, got the permits and the other things that they needed.
We had a miscommunication, but the company tried and did their best to find a solution. Very professional and problem solving. I highly recommend you to use this company.

A completely devastating, dramatic & painfully expensive experience was turned around by Alete & Caitlin. Made to feel like my hand was being held through the entire process. Time was taken to fully & thoroughly explain each step. No many how many questions I asked I was not treated with exasperation or rush. I hope I never know anyone in need of what I went through, but no other company exists other than Quick!

Quick Environmental has removed almost a dozen oil tanks for various customers of mine. 99% have been removed without incident and we get closed permits easily. We recently had one that had leaked and their handling of that to clear it through the State of NJ gathering a NFA “No Further Action Letter” was seamless. They are a professional company from the backhoe driver to the administration department. They get the job done! I’m pleased to recommend them.

I Had an inground oil tank removed by Quicken Environmental. The Oil tank had holes in the bottom and was considered contaminated. I was very nervous since i have never experienced this situation and didn't know what the process was. I entrusted Quicken Environmental for the remediation and since the area was very compacted within the location being between the house and neighbors fence or property line, Quicken performed their work with great expertise in this field of oil removal, contamination, etc. It was an intense situation however, Quicken and team made it assuring and possible to remediate the contaminated area in a clean and fashionable time. I will surely be using This company for Oil tank removal in the near future and highly recommend to homeowners or home investors . As a home investor myself it is a great reference knowing I can trust quicken on my future projects.M.J.O homes IncMike JoPresident .

We were delighted with the way Quick Environmental handled the removal of our underground oil tank. They showed up on time. They kept us informed about what was going on with the dig every step of the way. When they discovered that the tank sat under up to a foot of concrete and rebar, they got a jackhammer. The removal ended up taking two days because of the unusual circumstances. But they remained calm and professional, and they got the job done. Afterward, they left the area spotless. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to have their tank removed.

We are selling our home and find out there is an oil tank on property that needs to be removed. Quick Environmental was recommended and so glad we chose them. Caitlin got all the paperwork and permits together quickly and the workers that came to remove the tank (Josh and Sal) were so professional and friendly. Can’t express how happy we were with the all around service we received especially under the time restraints we had. Thanks again for making this happen!!
Quick Environmental is a knowledgeable environmental company. I will always recommended them to anyone who is in need of environmental work.
