📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateAn old tank buried in the yard or out by the barn is easy to forget about — until you're selling the place, putting in a new system, or a bank or buyer wants it gone. An abandoned underground tank is a liability sitting underground, and when it's time, you want it out, hauled, and the ground left clean.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles tank removal across central Illinois — septic tanks, old home heating-oil tanks, small farm fuel tanks, and abandoned underground tanks. We excavate, pull, and haul the tank, and coordinate the required steps along the way. It's owner-operator work right-sized for residential and farm tanks, not large commercial fuel-farm projects.
The Komatsu PC150LC does the digging and the lift. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight yards and backfill after. Dump trucks haul the tank and spoil off to a proper disposal site. Tank in the ground to clean, graded dirt is one job, one contractor.
Here's where we stay straight with you: we excavate, pull, and haul the tank, and we coordinate the steps that come with that. But we do not claim to do certified environmental remediation ourselves.
If a tank shows contamination — stained or smelly soil, a known leak — or the job needs licensed remediation or a formal IEPA closure, we bring in or refer the right licensed environmental party to handle that part properly. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction. We won't pretend a job is something it isn't.

Every tank is different. The basics don't change.
We come look, locate the tank, talk through what type it is and how deep it sits, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Fuel, oil, and septic tanks can come with notification or permit steps. We tell you what's required, help coordinate the paperwork, and call utility locates before we dig.
Any remaining product or waste is pumped out and sent to proper disposal first — septic tanks pumped, oil and fuel tanks drained — before the tank moves.
The Komatsu digs the tank out and lifts it — whole when it'll come, broken up when it won't. We load it onto a dump truck for haul-off.
We check the soil in the hole. If it's clean, we move on. If there's a sign of contamination, we stop and bring in or refer the right licensed party — no shortcuts.
We backfill the hole, grade the spot flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready to use again.
If it's an old tank in the ground and shouldn't be there anymore, we can probably help.
