OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Removing an aboveground tank located within the confines of your home, such as in a basement or crawl space, presents unique challenges. Crawl spaces, in particular, pose the most intricate scenarios.
Typically, tanks in crawl spaces were installed before the overhead flooring, making access limited. These confined spaces require careful maneuvering, and often, the tank needs to be cut into multiple pieces to facilitate its removal.
This aspect makes indoor tank removal the most labor-intensive among the three possible tank locations.
