Frequently Asked Questions

What is tank abandonment in place?

Tank abandonment in place, also called closure-in-place, is an alternative to full removal when excavation is not feasible — for example, when the tank is directly beneath a building foundation, a paved driveway, or a structure that cannot be safely removed. The tank is pumped clean, inerted, and filled with a slurry, sand, or foam. The closure must be approved by the local environmental authority.

Is abandonment in place as good as full removal?

Full removal is always the preferred option because it eliminates the tank entirely. Abandonment in place is a regulatory-approved alternative when removal is not structurally feasible. It still requires soil testing and a closure report. Note that an abandoned-in-place tank must be disclosed in future property sales.

Does abandonment in place require a permit in Dripping Springs?

Yes. Closure-in-place requires the same permitting and soil testing as full removal. Our team handles all permit applications, coordinates the required inspections, and files the closure documentation with the relevant agency.

Will an abandoned-in-place tank affect my property sale?

It can. Many buyers and their lenders prefer full removal. However, a properly documented abandonment-in-place with a clean soil test and a filed closure report is generally acceptable for most real estate transactions. We provide all documentation needed for your attorney and title company.
