Prevent Environmental & Financial Risk

Why Prompt Tank Removal Matters

An aging or abandoned storage tank is more than an eyesore, it’s an environmental and financial risk. Leaking tanks can contaminate soil and groundwater, expose property owners to significant liability, and complicate or kill real estate transactions. In many cases, the cost of early removal is a fraction of what remediation costs if a release goes undetected.

Momentum Environmental helps property owners, businesses, and municipalities get ahead of these risks with efficient, fully documented tank removal that meets state and federal regulatory agency standards.

  • Licensed and insured for industrial and hazardous waste operations
  • 24/7 emergency response available
  • Full waste characterization, transport, and disposal handled in-house
  • Experienced working alongside facility operations teams with minimal disruption

What to Expect

No two tank removals are identical, but our process follows a consistent, compliance-first approach:

  • Site assessment and permit coordination before any work begins
  • Safe excavation and extraction by trained technicians
  • Visual inspection and soil sampling to determine if a release has occurred
  • Proper transport and disposal of the tank and any impacted material
  • Closure documentation submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies
  • Clear communication throughout — no surprises

If contamination is discovered during removal, our remediation team is already on-site and ready to respond. You won’t need to find a second contractor.
