One of the most dreaded decisions concerning my home, was to remove a 40+ year old 1000 gallon oil tank buried in the back yard. A gentleman named Frank came to my home and offered a reasonable quote for the work. He also put my mind at ease by going over many what if scenarios and answered all of my questions. While waiting for the day the tank would be removed I was kept in the loop by their office personnel, Bryanah. Considering all of the horror stories I'd heard over the years I thought for sure I was going to be trouble. They arrived in the morning with their equipment and skillfully navigated my back yard to the tank location. Once there, they dug up, cut up, cleaned and removed the tank. Then it was inspected by the municipal inspector. Luckily there were no leaks or holes in the tank...WHEW! I have to say that all who were involved in my project acted with professionalism and it has been a refreshing change to see a company who cares about the quality of their work. I highly recommend Brinks.
