It's true: A fuel tank will eventually corrode and leak. If you encounter a tank that is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance that substantial corrosion has taken place. Trust that Sterling will remove your tank with the utmost care for your property and will create a safe environment for your family. Call Sterling Environmental Services today!

"Quick and efficient. They were at my house 8am on the dot. Had to leave the oil tank with me until they could come pick it up and remove from my property after another job. They came back as they said and when they said, and removed the tank from my property. Very clean. The tank was in the basement since the house was built in 1956, after removal, it looks like there was never anything there. Respectful of my property. Laid a tarp down before they laid the cut up tank on the grass, and covered it up with the tarp. Not a drop of the removed oil anywhere. Absolute 5 star operation. Thank you to NIck for the constant communication and efficiency. - Mike Murphy"

Environmental Management Associates, Inc., is a full service environmental consultant and contractor. We specialize in residential and commercial services including oil tank removal and remediation. In addition we are well versed in mold assessment testing and mitigation. In business since 1994, EMA, Inc., operates with a pedigree of professionalism to satisfy their customers.

"EMA is definitely a very good and reliable company. Just had oil tank removed and although there were unexpected additional charges because of a small hole in tank, Mike was very nice and explained everything. Just wished DEP was not so strict because they cost us an additional $1900 even without any contamination. I picked this company because it had very good reviews not just for their professional service but they are a lot lower than all the other companies I looked into. Our first estimate was $1,400 more than EMA!! I called several companies and I am so glad I went with them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
