Professional Oil Tank Removal in New Jersey
A1 Tank Guys handles underground heating oil tanks for New Jersey homeowners from start to finish: oil tank removal, soil testing around tanks still in the ground, and soil remediation when a tank has leaked. If you are dealing with a leaking tank, you are in experienced hands: we have removed more than 10,000 tanks since 1978 and guide homeowners through the NJDEP case from the first soil sample to closure. We pull the township permit, meet the inspector and hand you the paperwork, all at a flat rate you get in writing before any work starts.

Top 5 Reasons
Most oil tank contractors give you a starting price and a very different invoice at the end. Here is how we work instead.
Most residential tank contractors write open-ended contracts: a starting price, then a different invoice once the work is done. We quote oil tank removal, soil testing and soil remediation at one flat rate in writing, so you know your number before you sign.
Our flat-rate soil remediation price includes getting your NJDEP No Further Action (NFA) letter. Selling with an active tank? If our soil samples come back clean, an optional six-month guarantee covers the cleanup if the tank later fails the township inspection.
Buying or selling, time is money. We turn lab results around for short inspection windows, can fast-track NJDEP reports, and know the permit offices in many townships well. Our crews are out removing and remediating tanks every day.
Pay at closing for bigger jobs like soil remediation when you are under contract to sell, or spread the cost with financing. Just as important, we follow the right process after the tank comes out. The wrong next step can cost thousands in work you never needed.
If your tank fails inspection, soil remediation is not the only way to close an NJDEP case. We lay out every option, including sampling that can show no cleanup is needed, so you only pay for what your property actually requires.

Answers to the questions we hear most from New Jersey homeowners, buyers and sellers about buried heating oil tanks.
We have three offices, in Verona, Jersey City and Edison, and work throughout North and Central New Jersey, including Essex, Passaic, Morris, Bergen, Union, Hudson, Middlesex and Somerset counties. Towns we visit often include Montclair, West Orange, Livingston, Wayne, Woodbridge and Bayonne.
Common clues are a fill pipe or vent pipe sticking out of the lawn or beside the foundation, capped copper lines coming through the basement wall, or a house that was heated with oil before a gas conversion. A tank sweep by a home inspector or a quick site visit will confirm it.
State rules do not force every homeowner to remove an unused residential tank, but many insurers, lenders and buyers will not move forward while one is in the ground. Removing it on your schedule is usually cheaper and calmer than doing it under a closing deadline.
The township inspector notes it, the discharge is reported to the NJDEP and a case number is issued. That starts a process, not an automatic dig-out. Soil sampling shows how far any contamination goes, and we explain the options for closing the case. It sounds alarming, but leaking tanks are routine work for us, and we walk you through every step.
