Taking care of an underground oil tank is a big responsibility for any homeowner. An old, rusting tank is more than just a piece of junk—it is a major environmental hazard. If an underground tank leaks oil into the soil or groundwater, it can cost thousands of dollars to clean up.
That is why professional oil tank removal is so important. At Franklin Excavation, we carefully dig up the old tank, safely pump out any leftover oil, and test the soil. We protect your property from contamination and give you the peace of mind that your yard is safe.
Expert Oil Tank Services We Offer
Underground Tank Removal
We safely excavate and remove old underground storage tanks (USTs). We carefully pull the heavy metal tank out of the ground, haul it away, and fill the hole with clean dirt.
If the tank is housed inside an old structure or on a concrete pad, our
demolition and debris removal for old tank structures in NJ service handles the teardown first.
New Tank Installation
If you rely on oil heating, we can install a modern, rust-proof tank. We prepare the ground, place the new tank securely, and make sure it meets all current environmental codes.
Above-Ground Tank Prep
Switching from an underground tank to an above-ground one? We can level the land and build a strong, flat concrete pad to support your new above-ground oil tank safely.
Fuel line connections for the new tank are handled through our
excavation trenching for above-ground tank installation service.
Contaminated Soil Removal
If your old tank has already leaked, we have the heavy machinery needed to dig out the contaminated soil. We carefully haul the bad dirt away so your yard is clean again.
Protecting Your Property and the Environment
Preventing Costly Leaks
Metal oil tanks naturally rust over time when buried in the wet ground. By removing an old tank now, you stop oil leaks before they destroy your soil and water supply.
Making Home Sales Easier
Trying to sell your home? Most buyers and mortgage lenders will not approve a house with an abandoned underground oil tank. Removing it makes selling your property much faster and easier.

Careful Digging
We use professional excavators and skid steers to uncover the tank. Our skilled operators work carefully to avoid damaging your driveway, pipes, or landscaping.
Pumping and Cleaning
Before we pull an old tank out of the ground, we safely pump out any leftover heating oil and sludge. This ensures nothing spills into your yard during the removal.
Backfilling and Yard Repair
Once the tank is gone, we fill the massive hole with clean soil. We then grade and level the dirt so your yard looks great and is ready for fresh grass. Our site grading and backfill restoration after tank removal ensures the ground is level, compacted, and ready for grass or new construction.
