We hired Brinks to remove an oil tank from an investment property we purchased in Union City. The job was tough. The tank was buried underneath a city sidewalk. It was on a small city street which required a lot of logistics. The city was even worse, they had unreasonable expectations and changed the date of the job on us at the 11th hour.
Throughout all of this turmoil the entire staff at Brink's was top notch. Their admin staff (shoutout to Marla) always picked up the phone when we called, answered our questions, and followed up when needed. Frank Abate was a pleasure to work with, as he ultimately helped navigate through the city approvals we needed to get the job approved. Finally, on the big day, when the job proved to be more difficult than expected, the team stayed ALL NIGHT to make sure it was done correctly to strict city specifications.We received our 'No Further Action' letter about a month and a half after the job was complete. I would 110% recommend Brink's Tank Services to anyone looking to remove a tank in the North NJ area. Any questions please reach out to me.
