Underground Storage Tank Removal Services

What is an Underground Storage Tank (UST)?

An underground storage tank (UST) is a container buried beneath the ground’s surface and used to store liquids or gases. These tanks are commonly found at gas stations, industrial facilities, and properties where the storage of large amounts of fuel or chemicals underground is preferred for reasons of safety, space, or aesthetics.

A Storage Tank Can Be Placed Underground for Many Reasons

While there are several reasons businesses opt for storage tanks, underground placement is often chosen to maximize space above ground. It also provides better safety by reducing fire hazards and protects the stored substance from extreme surface temperatures. This method of storage is particularly common for fuel, including gasoline and heating oil, which is why it has become such a critical component of many commercial and industrial operations.

Are These Storage Tanks Considered Hazardous?

Whether an underground storage tank is considered hazardous depends on its contents and condition. Underground tanks used to store substances like petroleum and certain chemicals can pose environmental risks, including surrounding soil and water contamination if they leak.

For this reason, managing, maintaining, and, when necessary, safely removing these UST systems is vital for the property and surrounding areas. At O’ROURKE, our underground tank removal services are designed to address these concerns and ensure that all hazardous materials are handled and disposed of properly!

Lead Abatement Services

Leave a Comment

In modern times, our homes and workplaces are sanctuaries designed to shield us from the chaos and perils of the external world. Yet, lurking within the very walls meant to protect us, a silent adversary often resides—lead. This toxic element, once a staple in construction materials, now poses significant health risks to anyone exposed to it. O’ROURKE is proud to provide trusted lead abatement services, a specialized field dedicated to the identification, removal, and management of lead in our environments.

This brief guide offers an insightful glance into the world of lead abatement, underscoring its critical importance in safeguarding public health and wellbeing. Contact us today for more information on our top-rated lead abatement projects and demolition services!

Lead and hazardous material removal and abatement

What is Lead Abatement?

Lead abatement is the meticulous process of eliminating lead-containing materials from buildings and structures to prevent lead exposure. This intricate procedure goes beyond mere surface treatment or containment; it aims to permanently reduce lead poisoning hazards to protect current and future occupants.

Lead Exposure Can Bring on Health Issues

The stealthy nature of lead makes it a formidable foe for property owners across the country. It often goes unnoticed in the form of old lead-based paint, contaminated lead dust, aging pipes, and more, threatening the health of unsuspecting individuals. High levels of lead exposure can be particularly detrimental to children, impairing cognitive development, causing learning disabilities, and affecting behavioral growth. In adults, it can lead to hypertension, kidney dysfunction, and reproductive problems. All of these dangers make the role of lead abatement services not just a matter of regulatory compliance but a profound commitment to public health!

Lead Can Exist Within Paint, Dust, Water, and More

As stated above, lead’s omnipresence in older infrastructures is a haunting legacy of its past uses. Before the dangers were fully understood, lead was a common ingredient in paint, plumbing, and other building materials for its durability and corrosion resistance. As these materials deteriorate or undergo renovation, lead is released into the environment, becoming a hidden hazard in dust, chips, and even water, awaiting the opportunity to wreak havoc on our health.
