UNDERGROUND TANK REMOVAL

A qualified tank removal contractor, like Mike Hoensch Tank Company, will make sure the necessary permits are obtained (if required) and all procedures are followed in compliance with state and local regulations. The tank is removed and disposed of properly. The tank void is then filled with clean fill and brought back to grade. Typically machinery is utilized to conduct an underground tank removal. The size of the excavation normally extends 2 feet past each direction of the size of the tank. A 550-gallon tank (typical for most residences) measures 48” in diameter and is 5’5” Long. Another popular size is a 1000 gallon tank which measures 48” in diameter and is 10’9” long. After gaining access to the top of the tank the tank would then be emptied and all the contents from the tank would then be either transferred into a new tank on site, or be disposed of at a licensed waste disposal facility. Prior to the tank being removed the local inspector will look at the interior of the tank as to inspect the tank for any possible leaks, and to insure the tank has been properly cleaned. After the tank has been properly cleaned and the inspector has completed the inspection, the tanks void is then filled with clean fill.
