Oil Tank Removal on Long Island: What You Need to Know
If you own an older home on Long Island, chances are you have an oil tank somewhere on your property, in the basement, in the garage, or buried under the lawn. Whether you are switching to natural gas, selling your home, or simply replacing an aging tank, oil tank removal on Long Island is a job that has to be done right. State and local code is strict, soil contamination is a real risk, and the wrong contractor can leave you with thousands of dollars in remediation costs. Long Island Oil Tank Service has been removing tanks across Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens since 2003, and we have built our entire business around doing this work cleanly, legally, and on time.
The removal process starts with a free on-site evaluation. We confirm the tank size, location, age, and whether there is any visible leak history. From there, we file the permits with your town, pump out any remaining oil and sludge, cut the tank for safe extraction, and haul it to a licensed scrap and recycling facility. For underground oil tank removal, we excavate around the tank, lift it out cleanly, take soil samples to verify the area is contamination-free, and backfill with clean material. If the soil testing flags petroleum impact, we coordinate directly with the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and handle the spill case through closure.
Above-ground oil tank removal is typically a one-day job. Our crew lays down floor protection, drains the tank, drains the supply lines, cuts the tank into sections inside a containment, and carries everything out in clean pieces. Your basement, garage, or shed is left ready for whatever comes next, whether that is a new Roth or Granby tank, a gas conversion, or finished living space.
Cost is the first question every homeowner asks, and the honest answer is that oil tank removal cost on Long Island depends on tank size, location, accessibility, and whether the tank has leaked. Above-ground basement removals are the most affordable. Underground removals run higher because of the excavation, soil testing, and town inspections required. We always provide a written, flat-rate quote up front, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

We know every town code from Massapequa to Huntington, every inspector at every municipal office, and exactly what your closing attorney or buyer is going to need for paperwork.
