Oil Tank Removal & Installation

Oil Tank Removal in Massachusetts — Done Right

If you've got an old oil tank in your basement, garage, or buried in your yard, you're probably dealing with a mix of questions: Is it leaking? What does removal actually cost? Do you need a permit? Who handles the paperwork?

We answer all of those questions before we start — and handle most of them for you. Removal Pro has removed thousands of oil tanks across Massachusetts, building a reputation on straight pricing, clean work, and showing up when we say we will.

What's Included in Every Tank Removal

• Permit application (we handle it — most MA towns require one)
• Safe pumping of remaining oil or sludge
• Tank cutting if needed to fit through doorways
• Complete removal and licensed disposal/recycling
• Fill and vent pipe removal and proper sealing
• Broom-clean job site before we leave
• Disposal documentation for your records

Every installation includes proper sizing, steel or double-walled fiberglass tanks, Tiger Loop or standard supply lines, new fill and vent piping, spin-on filter and gauge, full code compliance, and permit and inspection scheduling.
