ANGIE’S LIST MEMBER COMMENT – October 24, 2011

Excavated, removed underground heating oil tank, back filled hole, disposed of tank, obtained permit, provided certificate of decommissioning.Member Comments: The job went well. A couple of young guys came out. I share the driveway with my neighbor and they were careful of both houses as they brought the backhoe up for the excavation. They had the tank out in short order and filled the hole back up.

Filco removed an oil tank from my yard. Because of its location, the two workers had to dig it out by hand, then pull it out and use a hand cart to get it to their truck. Then, the hole was filled in and leveled to patio height. Everything went smoothly. The job was a lot of work because of the tank’s placement near the house foundation yet they handled it well. We were very happy with their work ethic and how they cleaned up. Would definitely recommend this company!

I received bids from three companies to decommission an old heating oil tank I found buried in my back yard. All three bids were very close in price (not cheap at all, but I had to do it), so I went with Filco because they said they could do it in the next week. They actually came a few days ahead of schedule and did the job in less than two hours, pumping out the old oil, filling the tank with foam, cutting and permanently sealing with cement the filler pipe a few inches below grade. They were fast and clean. The certificate from the fire department came within a week.

They were great. They were very professional and prompt. They did the work well. They were honest. They did return calls. They did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it, unlike some other people who were no-shows. This company is truly a business. Lots of people who do this type of work think they are in business, but they are pretty laid-back. They are self-employed types who are a little light on the “employed” side. This company is dependable, and they do a good job.

Filco removed our leaking oil tank along with contaminated soil, treated the remaining soil, and refilled the now rather large hole.  PLIA paid for the contaminated soil cleanup, which was more than $15K.

I interviewed other oil tank removal companies, but Filco is a cut above the rest.  Nate managed the project and is very responsive and personable.  We had just bought this house and were converting from oil heat to a heat pump, so we wanted to remove the old oil tank.  As soon as the house closed and before we had the tank removed, we applied for insurance through PLIA (State of WA).  When Filco dug it up, the tank was leaking oil like a sieve, so the contaminated soil had to be cleaned up.  Filco helped establish a claim with PLIA, so the work would be paid for.  It took several weeks from start to finish for the process because soil testing had to be performed at various stages.  We are very happy to have that oil mess out of our back yard.  In the event we ever want to sell the house, we have the cleanup certified by Filco.

I wish there was a category in Angie’s list for oil tank removal and soil testing, because in addition to the excavation Filco performed, they tested the soil, excavated, and removed the oil tank, cleaned up the contaminated soil and filled the hole with clean soil.

From start to finish, Filco was terrific.  They did what they said they were going to do, they had severals days they were on the job, and they were on time every time, the service professionals and Nate were courteous and professional, and respectful of our home.  Would recommend them any time!
