Oil Tank
Before any tank can be properly cleaned, inspected, repaired, or removed, any remaining product must be safely and completely extracted. Using state-of-the-art pumping equipment, our technicians will efficiently remove all residual oil, water, and sludge from your tank. This process not only prepares the tank for the next phase of its service life or decommissioning but also minimizes the risk of spills during handling and transport. As waste management professionals, we handle the recovered product in accordance with all environmental regulations for responsible disposal or recycling.Spill Response
An oil spill, no matter the size, demands immediate and expert attention. JnJ Environmental offers a rapid spill response service to contain, assess, and remediate spills quickly and effectively. Our emergency team utilizes advanced containment booms, absorbent materials, and vacuum extraction technology to manage the spill.Tank Closure Services
When an underground storage tank reaches the end of its useful life, it must be properly decommissioned according to strict state and local regulations. We offer two primary methods for tank closure: closure-in-place (also known as abandonment) and complete removal.
Closure-in-place may be an option when excavation is impractical or would threaten the structural integrity of nearby buildings. This process involves pumping out all residual contents, thoroughly cleaning the tank’s interior, and then filling it with an inert, solid material like sand, concrete slurry, or foam. Oil tank service technicians handle all necessary paperwork and provide a certified report to document that the tank has been safely and permanently decommissioned.
Storage Tank Removals
For most clients, the complete removal of an obsolete or failing storage tank is the preferred solution, as it eliminates any future environmental liability associated with the tank. Our team manages the entire tank removal process for both USTs and ASTs with meticulous attention to safety and compliance.
The home heating oil tank removal process includes obtaining the required permits, professionally excavating the area around the tank, safely purging and inerting the tank to remove flammable vapors, and carefully lifting it from the ground. Once removed, the tank is transported to a certified facility for proper disposal. We then backfill the excavation and restore the site to its original condition.
Oil Tank Installation
JnJ Environmental provides expert installation services for modern heating oil tanks. We help you select the ideal tank for your needs, considering factors like capacity, location, and materials (such as fiberglass, steel, or composite). Our installation process then adheres strictly to all industry codes and best practices to ensure your new system is not only efficient but also fully compliant with today’s stringent environmental and safety standards.Underground and Aboveground Tank Cleaning
Over time, sediment, water, and microbial growth can accumulate at the bottom of a tank, forming a thick sludge. This sludge can corrode the tank from the inside out, clog fuel lines and filters, and reduce the efficiency of your heating system. Our professional tank cleaning service involves removing all accessible product, pressure washing the interior surfaces to dislodge sludge and contaminants, and filtering the usable fuel before returning it to the clean tank. This proactive tank service is one of the best ways to protect your investment and prevent leaks.Soil Testing
Following a tank removal or in cases where a leak is suspected, soil testing is a critical step to ensure no contamination has occurred. JnJ Environmental facilitates professional soil sampling and analysis to provide a clear, scientific assessment of your property’s condition. If contamination is detected, this data forms the basis for developing an effective remediation plan to restore the soil’s quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my underground oil tank is leaking?
Signs of a leaking UST can include a sudden, unexplained increase in fuel consumption, the smell of oil in your basement or on your property, or a noticeable sheen on any nearby surface water. If you have an older steel tank, it’s wise to have it professionally tested, as many leaks are slow and not immediately obvious. Call our team at any point for an oil tank inspection in Norristown, PA, or one of the surrounding areas.
Is it better to remove an old underground tank or leave it in place?
While closure-in-place is sometimes a viable option, complete removal is almost always recommended. Removal permanently eliminates the tank and the associated environmental liability from your property.
Can you handle emergency spills?
Yes! Our rapid-response team is trained and equipped to manage oil and chemical spills quickly to minimize damage and environmental risk.
Do you work with both residential and commercial properties?
Absolutely. We provide tank services for homeowners, business owners, industrial facilities, and more.
How often should oil tanks be inspected or cleaned?
Most experts recommend inspections every 1-2 years. The frequency of oil tank cleaning will depend on the age of the tank, fuel quality, and system performance, but generally, it is advisable to clean the tank every 3-5 years to prevent sludge buildup.
Can you help me find an old, undocumented tank on my property?
As part of our tank services in Norristown, PA, we can locate “lost” tanks using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and metal detectors.
Are aboveground tanks safer than underground tanks?
Both options have their benefits, but aboveground tanks are easier to inspect and maintain. Underground tanks, while space-saving, require more monitoring to ensure leaks don’t go unnoticed. Our experts can install or service both types of storage tanks in Norristown and Southeastern Pennsylvania.
