I used Above Environmental Services to take out a contained/abandoned tank on my property in Bergen County, NJ. They were recommended to us by a trusted contractor that we use. Tom Bove and company did an excellent job and were professional & friendly. They showed up on time, worked quickly, safely, and efficiently, and didn't charge us an arm-and-a leg. We couldn't have asked for a better experience during what can be a tricky and occasional stressful process. More details below:
We bought our house years ago with the tank already disconnected, cleaned out, filled with gravel, and buried. We figured we'd get rid of it so we don't have to deal with it years from now if/when we want to sell. After using Eco Logic Environmental to locate the precise spot of the tank, Matt and Tom (not the owner) from Above Environmental came to our house with a small excavator, dug up the tank, pulled it out of the ground, checked for leaks and tested for soil contamination - no leaks nor any contamination. Matt was incredibly skilled with the excavator in a tight space and Tom did everything that the digger didn't do, which was a lot. The inspector came later in the day to check out the site. All was good. Matt and Tom and the excavator came back a day later and filled the hole. Done.
Overall, the folks at Above Environmental were nice, professional, fast and did a good job of cleaning up. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more
