We are an environmental services company specializing in oil tank removals, abandonments, installations, tank testing and spill clean up throughout the Hudson Valley region of New York. We are focused on providing competitive upfront pricing and exceptional customer service. Please know prior to contacting us that we only work of fuel oil / diesel tanks. Angi Leads does not clarify tank types and we are often asked about other types of services that involve a tank. If your project involves a propane, drinking water (hot water tanks), septic or a gasoline tank we will not be able to assist you.

"After not getting some callbacks and/or getting outrageous quotes, I put out an Angi's list quote request for having my oil tank removed. Enviro Clean called me about 5 minutes later [and was in fact the only vendor who called]. Their quote was far less than the others I received previously, and they were able to come out right away. Removal of the tank was flawless, though it had to be cut into multiple pieces to fit out the basement door. They handled the permit as well for a small additional fee. Perhaps the most clear sign that I was satisfied with their work and the cost is that I hired them only months later to remove my old boiler, which I had long thought wasn't worth the hassle of ripping out."

Excavation services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
