Here’s how we handle every step with care
Every tank removal or closure in New Jersey must meet both town and state steps. Town approval shows the work meets code. NJDEP UHOT paperwork proves the tank was closed for your records.
We take care of
Some homes can’t remove tanks because of tight stairs or concrete walls. We offer closure in place. Our team drains, cleans, and fills the tank with foam or sand, then seals every line.
You’ll still get a town inspection and NJDEP certificate showing the tank is closed for good. The certificate proves proper closure, but it doesn’t confirm that past leaks never happened, which is why we test the soil if needed.
Most lenders and insurers want proof that your tank was removed or closed properly before closing. Without that certificate, sales or refinancing can stall.
Our experts at American Way Plumbing, Heating & Cooling collect every document your bank, attorney, or buyer will ask for. We keep your paperwork ready so the deal moves ahead with no stress.
