  2. Underground oil tanks are a common feature in many homes and properties throughout New Jersey, especially in older residences.

When this happens, the oil can seep into groundwater, potentially affecting local water sources and making the land hazardous. Cleaning up an oil spill can be extremely costly and difficult, especially if it’s left unchecked for too long. This is why timely underground oil tank removal NJ is crucial to prevent contamination.

  4. 2. Health Hazards Leaking oil not only harms the environment but also presents serious health risks. The chemicals found in heating oil, when exposed to the air, can be harmful to humans and animals. Exposure to these hazardous substances can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health problems. For homes near the tank, residents may unknowingly inhale fumes or come into contact with contaminated soil, leading to long-term health risks.
