Oil Tank Search
Brink's Tank Services will perform an interior and exterior sweep of your property. First, our highly trained and certified technician will look inside the home for clues that may indicate a past or current oil tank. Second, we will use a metal detector or ground penetrating radar (GPR) to search for any buried metallic objects. Doing both an interior and exterior search will help us determine if an underground storage tank (UST) is buried on the property. If a suspicious object is discovered, we will require further evaluation, and a full description of our findings will be described in the sweep report.
Oil Tank Removal
Once the UST (underground storage tank) has been located, a small excavator will be used to expose the tank. The UST is then cut open, and the contents are removed and transported to a certified disposal facility. The UST is then removed and inspected for signs of corrosion by both a Brink's technician and the municipal inspector. Upon completion, the tank and the cavity are then filled with certified clean fill
Soil Remediation
Brink's Tank Services will perform the necessary testing and will remove the contaminated soil from your property. Upon successful completion of your site remediation project, a Remedial Action Report will be prepared and submitted to the NJDEP for a recommendation of No Further Action (NFA) for your property. Brink's will work for hand in hand with you and the NJDEP to facilitate the completion of your project and the issuance of a No Further Action letter (NFA)

As a home or property owner, it's best to look for refill valves in your yard or home to assist with oil tank detection. Fill valves are used as the access point to underground oil tanks so, if you can find a fill valve, chances are there is a tank just below you. Also, if you see a valve near your gas meter, you can be sure that you have an oil tank left underground. Fill valves are usually only inches off the ground in your yard or garden. However, in some cases, your fill valve may collapse with the ground or be covered in snow or leaves, making it difficult to notice.
If you've found vent pipes in or near your home, you may also have an oil tank that needs to be removed. Vent pipes were previously used for ventilation of underground oil tanks because oil was transferred to heat homes. If you find that your home has a vent or vent valve that appears on the ground, contact a professional at Brinks Tank Service.
