Active Underground Storage Tank:

• Since the tank is active, you should obtain a Tank Protection Service Agreement to protect you in the event of tank leakage.  Most service agreements will require a soil boring test before they will issue the agreement.  Lawes can perform this service for you and fax the results directly to your oil supplier. 
• Interested in upgrading your tank?  Lawes can install one of the new Roth Above Ground Oil Storage tanks.  Call Lawes to arrange a survey where this new, self-contained tank will best fit at your home.
• The State of New Jersey has recently made funds available to help offset much of the costs for the tank removal and installation.  Most Homeowners qualify and we can help you with the paperwork.  Call Lawes to discuss this option or click on State Grant Programs.
• The Attorney for the Buyer of your property will have their client arrange for a soil boring test to assure there are no environmental issues before purchasing the property.

Active Underground Storage Tank:

• If there is an active underground tank in use, your attorney will likely require a test of the soil to investigate any possible environmental issue.
• Simply call our office and request a soil boring test.  Or click HERE to fill out our email request form.
• We will make all arrangements, perform the test and copy your attorney.
• If there is no tank protection agreement on the tank, a “pass” result can be submitted to the oil supplier to obtain protection. 
• If the soil result indicates a potential environmental problem, the tank should be removed in a timely fashion.  The homeowner can contact the tank protection company and the homeowner’s insurance carrier.  This will start the remediation process.
